Anything shorter and you can shoot your own fingers off. In a panic situation it's easy to put your fingers over the end of the barrel if it's only 2”.

I hope this was toung in cheek. If that is your "expert" opinion, you hardly have the experience or stability to handle firearms or give advice on them.

toung = tongue

If weapons are that difficult to legally get in DC, why not just go over to the nearest public housing area and buy one from the locals?

No it wasn't tongue in cheek.

I've actually met someone that shot their own finger off with a snub nose .38.

He was a dealer at a gun show and wouldn't sell a 2” for that very reason.

He knew how to handle a gun. When a guy pulled a gun on him in his shop and tried to rob him, he pulled his gun and shot. His finger was over the end of the barrel.

He didn't even know he'd shot his own finger off until it was all over.
