Dear Badray,
I hadn't mentioned feelings of security at all. I'd merely described things as they are.
If you visit Washington frequently, you may wish to reconsider bringing your firearm with you, especially if you're going to enter federal facilities with it in your car.
On the off-chance that they find you with it, trying to bring it on to federal property, it will put you in a difficult set of circumstances.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you had said anything about feeling secure. I, too, was just reporting what occurred. I have little faith in our 'protectors' even if their intentions were good or they had an obligation to protect us.
Thanks for the warning. I am aware of the potential consequences but will likely continue to choose to do so. It's better to be judged by 12 than to be carried by 6 (or in my case, 12).
Typically, I do avoid federal facilities. I just couldn't find a parking spot on the street that day (a Saturday.)
