IF IT SAVES JUST ONE LIFE, IT’S WORTH IT: Rand Paul Wants Guns In DC. “Sen. Rand Paul said Thursday he would introduce a bill that would give District of Columbia residents the ability to get gun permits and visitors from around the U.S. the right to carry concealed weapons while in the nation’s capital. . . . In addition, it would require the nation’s capital to start issuing concealed weapons permits to residents and non-residents, as well as grant reciprocity of permits issued by states. Firearm owners would be allowed to carry in public, non-sensitive areas of federal property.”
