U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro warned Monday that even “a law-abiding gun owner” will go to jail if they bring a gun into Washington, DC.
Pirro made the comments to FOX News while touting the historic decline in D.C. homicides under President Trump.
She said, “If you bring a gun into the District, you mark my words, you’re going to jail. I don’t care if you have a license in another district and I don’t care if you’re a law-abiding gun owner somewhere else.”
Pirro added, “You bring a gun into this District count on going to jail and hope you get the gun back.”
U.S. Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) responded to Pirro by noting he has a license to carry from Florida and one from D.C. and he stressed that he will “continue to carry” to protect himself and others.
Steube added, “Come and take it!”
