"Then, he tried to claim the revolver wasn’t his, and claimed it belonged to his son who was an FBI agent at the time."

Were FBI agents allowed to own handguns and the rest of the populace in DC not at the time? I thought no one was allowed to own a handgun in DC from 1975 up until last year with Heller. It could not have been claimed as his service revolver. No one in their right mind would have a .22 as a service revolver...

That's why the dope nearly blew his career out the window. He procured the weapon for his father in violation of federal and DC law. Not unduly burdened by the gift of intelligence, a severe lapse in judgment followed in trying to cover for his old man's crime and his by claiming it was his issued weapon, left behind at his father's home. Yep, that went over big with the boys at the Bureau.
