An Armed Citizenry: In 2002, when Shelley Parker

discovered the Capitol Hill home she had recently bought was

located on a block where men gathered to drink beer and possibly

sell drugs, she got a dog for protection, installed a security

camera and joined an anti-crime patrol. These actions earned her

taunts and death threats from the men and vandalism to her home

and car. Seeking advice on protecting herself, a police officer

told Ms. Parker to get a gun. This was unhelpful, since most gun

ownership in Washington was illegal
