The issue was never whether or not Webb should be allowed to carry the gun. We all agree that the DC gun laws are ridiculous.
The issue was that he acted irresponsibly by not knowing where he left the weapon. Then he denied it was his and let his "friend" and aide spend his birthday locked up.
So, according to you, Webb did not know where the gun was at the time his aide came into possession of it. I didn't know that.
Also, Webb said that the gun found in possession of the aide was not his. I did not know that.
Finally, there was evidently some way for Webb to arrange the release of his aide prior to the aide spending a birthday locked up. I didn't know that.
How did you determine these three things?
