Threat of gun, not laws saved man on Capitol Hill

Jimmy LaSalvia of GOProud, the gay conservative organization, was riding his bicycle on Capitol Hill last week when he was confronted by a gang of youths. When LaSalvia reached in his backpack for his phone, that action made them think he was reaching for a gun and scared them off;

The story rings true to me because I’ve been confronted by youth gangs in DC when I used to ride my bicycle to work daily through some pretty rough neighborhoods. My only option was to peddle faster when I saw the gangs get interested in my bicycle which worked for the most part. Of course, everyone is a target in DC since non-criminals aren’t carrying guns outside their homes.

Thanks to Old Trooper for the link.
