Two & a half years since handgun ban lifted in DC

Folks with money bought guns or brought into the home guns they had stored out of the District.
Still only one FFL for transfers and no "store front" gun shops.

"Since the landmark court ruling in June 2008, records show, more than 1,400 firearms have been registered with D.C. police, most in the western half of the District. Among those guns, nearly 300 are in the high-income, low-crime Georgetown, Palisades and Chevy Chase areas of Northwest."

"Crime is down to the lowest level, but people always feel insecure," he said. "And when you have responsibility for your family, you have to be prepared."
