I remember that incident well. In a city that banned possession of handguns, Rowan used a .22 revolver to shoot a teenager who was sneaking into his backyard pool to swim at night. 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. Rowan and son claimed it was his “service revolver.” Yep. That story had all the flight characteristics of a brick, and nearly cost the younger Rowan his career.

"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...
