God bless Ms. Miller for enduring the asininity of the "system" in d.c. Even after finally getting her firearm I'm thinkin' it'll only do her any good in her residence. Purty sure there ain't no CCW in d.c. (Unless your special. Real special.) I read here chronicle of the adventure. Absurd is an understatement.

Sad to say but you shouldn’t “feel safe” living anywhere, if by feeling safe you mean you don’t feel like you need to be prepared to defend yourself. Unless you are a law enforcement officer or you live with one, chances are if you are attacked you will be solely responsible for your own defense for minutes. Maybe only a few minutes if you are lucky. Maybe several tens of minutes if you live a little more rural. Maybe your on your own time might be measured in hours if you are very remote. Where I’m at, best I could reasonably hope for might be on the order of 4 to 5 minutes. Worst case, but still very possible might be 25 to 30.

MY wife didn't start out as a "gun gal" either. When we were dating she initially did not like guns. I told her if we were going to be married there would be guns in the house and occasionally they may need to be loaded. I taught her how to unload and load each of them and how to "safe" them.

I took her out to the range and showed her how to shoot and clean each of them.

she is not a "gun nut" but does understand that they are tools and can't stand the way the left portrays people that support the second amendment.

Cleveland Pays Out Settlement to Concealed Carrier Whose Gun Was Wrongly Confiscated

December 23 2013
by Dan Cannon

Derrick Washington was trying to be a good citizen when he called police to report a shooting in his neighborhood.

Washington met with officers once they arrived. At some point during the conversation, Washington told officers he had a license to carry and he had a gun in his car, which was not in the immediate area where he was talking with officers.

Police allege that Washington told them he had two drinks that evening, but Washington denies that.

Police arrested Washington, who was the person that called them and not connected to the shooting in any way, confiscated his gun from his car, and held him in jail for three days.

Eventually the district attorney’s office decided not to press charges and Washington was released.

Washington took the city to court over the incident. The city agreed to settle, paying Washington $1,000 along with all of his attorney’s fees and court costs.

While the monetary amount is fairly small, it sounds like this incident might for police officers to rethink how they seize and hold weapons. According to The Plain Dealer,

She’s a good writer, smart, a solid supporter of the 2nd Amendment and the Bill of Rights, and is pretty easy on the eyes, too. The total package. A small package, but she’s got it all :-)
