There is no castle doctrine law on the books.<\/p>\n<p>Police chief Lanier presides over of an arduous may-issue concealed carry standard, meaning she is directly responsible for approving applications and is given sole discretion to determine whether one can carry a firearm outside the home for self-defense.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, Lanier has been an outspoken proponent of limiting handgun ownership, and banning magazines that hold over 10 rounds of ammunition but the chief insists that her anti-gun position does not conflict with her call to &#8220;take action.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s kind of counterintuitive to what cops always tell people, right?\u201d Chief Lanier told CBS. \u201cWe always tell people, \u2018Don\u2019t \u2026 don\u2019t take action. Call 911. Don\u2019t intervene in the robbery\u2019 \u2026 We\u2019ve never told people, \u2018Take action.\u2019 It\u2019s a different \u2026 scenario.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lanier made it clear that her stance is not about paranoia, but preparedness. Ironically, an argument frequently made by pro-gun advocates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can be prepared and you can have a society that is resilient and &#8212; alert and conscientious and safer without scaring people. It&#8217;s not about scaring people,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>The police chief seems to have reached the conclusion that so many of us already know, that carrying a handgun is not about intimidation or fear: it\u2019s about being prepared for events that can and do happen.<\/p>\n<p>Do you think Cathy Lanier will allow more people to carry handguns in D.C. in the wake of the Paris attacks?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cYour options are run, hide, or fight,\u201d the D.C. police chief said. \u201cIf you\u2019re in a position to try and take the gunman down, to take the gunman out, it\u2019s the best option for saving lives before police can get there.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":48491,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,7,25,216,240],"tags":[132,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-48490","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-gunsamerica-authors","9":"category-current-events","10":"category-s-h-blannelberry","11":"category-this-week","12":"tag-buzz","13":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Anti-Gun D.C.
