No lobby office in D.C. is anything like a gun free zone. There are cops everywhere, and armed security guards as well. In fact, didn't your article say that the security guard at the FRC's building was armed? [quote]According to prosecutors' account of the attack filed on Wednesday, Corkins got into the Family Research Council's building by telling Johnson that he was there to interview for an internship. After Johnson asked for identification, prosecutors say, Corkins reached into his backpack, retrieved a handgun and leveled it at Johnson's head. Johnson ducked and lunged at Corkins before he could fire a shot, according to prosecutors. As the two struggled, Corkins fired three times, hitting Johnson once in the arm, before the building manager was able to wrestle him to the ground, disarm him and hold him at gunpoint until police arrived.
