I have a federal client who is vehemently "anti-gun". Of course I don't air my political opinions in the office, and especially not to clients, so she doesn't know my stance. However, this scenario in which she is currently committing a felony. I have half a mind to call the agency's police force and have her hauled off to DC Metro jail.
I approach her desk this morning, I see a bottle of mace on her key chain. I inquire "Was it a hassle to get that registered?" Her, obviously oblivious to the laws she supports responds, "Register what?" I state, "The mace; It is illegal to have unregistered mace in DC." Her response, "Oh" while throwing her hands in the air.
She goes on to demonstrate "how it works," as though apathetic to the point that she is carrying an illegal weapon, She aims it at me and says "I'm afraid it will just go off sometimes" while she simultaneously demonstrates the trigger mechanism. Conversation continues and she then states she "wants to get a stun gun" obviously equally oblivious to the fact that a stun gun is highly illegal in DC.
I have half a mind to call our agency police on her and help clean up these DC streets! The only reason I'm abstaining is because ultimately it would be my employer who would suffer, as the resultant may be upsetting our client contract. Nonetheless, I wanted to share this exert to demonstrate how bone headed and plain dumb some anti-gunnies are. And for her sake, it's probably safest she is anti-gun, because given how she handles simple mace, I would've defended myself with justifiable force if the nossle of that mace was instead the barrel of a handgun. Ridiculous.
