The Pentagon was on lockdown Tuesday morning after multiple gunshots were fired near a platform by the facility´s Metro station. At least one person was down, according to two people familiar with the shooting, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release information publicly.

That’s actually incorrect. DC is actually Shall issue on CCW permits. Even non-residents can get them.

It is true that they make you jump through red tape, but it isn’t insurmountable like in New Jersey, Maryland, New York or much of Kalifornia.

Once again a British paper scoops the American media on breaking news in America.

Pravda is awaiting orders from the Politburo.

It takes time for the DC area reporters to fit their kneepads.

The metro platform is just under the Pentagon…might as well call it “ within”, but just before the controlled access points.

The Metro is DC’s subway. I know there is a Metro Subway station at the Pentagon.

They probably don’t mean a bus platform.

Probably.

If they squeeze just one more ad on their web page, then all you will see is ads.

The Pentagon is the building. Without is not within.

Pentagon Protection Force Protection Agency? Well, I'll Be Damned!. They snuck another armed gang in on me. How many “agents” does this one have? 15-20 thousand? Pretty soon, not counting the actual military and their F15s and Nukes, they are gonna have more armed Federal ‘agents’ than there are citizens.

As you figured out, the bus platforms are above ground and adjacent to the parking lot.

This could have been just a drug deal gone bad.

“Once again a British paper scoops the American media on breaking news in America.”

They even reported the collapse of WTC Building 7 before us.

Have you ever taken the metro into the Pentagon?
Like an underground shopping mall, ride the escalator up to the guard area.
Not exactly “ outside the building”

Unless there were security changes since I left

I wonder if this is the usual DC hood collateral damage. Most everyone is at work at the Pentagon by mid morning I think.

Yep, I have my appointment with the DC Police on the 17th. That'll make MD, Utah, and a DC CCW permit for me. Woot!

Utah was the easiest to get. All via snail-mail. Why Utah? Because their CCW is recognized in about 27 states.

The metro is inside the building footprint.

The mass transit buses are outside and adjacent to the parking lot.

The reporting is confusing, but it looks like the incident happened in the mass transit bus area—aboveground.

Right?

And did you read last week where Nanzi wants to take the Capitol Police Department and make it National?

With offices in major cities?

This is all a part of their plan to Nationalize the police force here in the US.

It worked out for Nazi Germany...

Ordnungspolizei (Orpo; order police) consisting of the regular uniformed police · Sicherheitspolizei (SiPo; security police) consisting of two sub-departments of …
