The laws encourage beta behavior. Look at what happened to Zimmerman. Do you know if the District of Colombia allows defense of others? Everything you do will be carefully reviewed by a liberal leftist prosecutor looking to see if you applied too much force or provoked the confrontation. Or you may end up being judged by a jury from a district whose sympathies are with the criminals. Do you want to take the legal risk?
DC has very strict gun laws, which is ironic since parts of DC are very very dangerous. Anyone carrying on the metro would have probably been in violation of some law and been subject to prosecution.
