A right for me, but not for thee. Total bullshit. I mean, MORE total bullshit. They are more important than we are, their lives are worth more than ours are, they should have the right to defend theirs, but we should not, and they want to make sure you know it. (At least Massie's bill will supposedly include "regular" citizens... but I want to see the actual bill  before I give him too much credit... as, somehow, they seem to end up more "equal" than the rest of us...)

Barry Loudermilk wants concealed carry for lawmakers in DC after Scalise shooting

One Republican lawmaker believes that concealed carry reciprocity for members of Congress should be considered as part of possible security upgrades after House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., was shot at practice for the congressional charity baseball game early Wednesday morning.

Under Rep. Barry Loudermilk's proposal, members who are allowed to conceal carry a weapon in their home state would be able to in Washington. Loudermilk, R-Ga., said the problem is that the nation's capital does not recognize concealed carry licenses from other states.

Thomas Massie wants DC to recognize concealed carry permits from other states

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/thomas-massie-wants-dc-to-recognize-concealed-carry-permits-from-other-states/article/2626118

Rep. Thomas Massie introduced a bill Thursday allowing people with a concealed carry permit from their home state to use that permit while in the District of Columbia following Wednesday's shooting at Republicans' baseball practice.

"What I'm trying to do is anticipate how to avoid a tragic situation in the future, and what the American people don't realize is that most congressmen do not have a security detail, and we are as exposed as the general public is exposed as they come to visit our nation's capital," Massie, R-Ky., said in an interview on Fox Business.

"I don't want to extend a special privilege just to congressmen. I recognize that everyone has the right to defend themselves, and that's in the Constitution."

A Republican congressman has said he will carry a gun whenever he's 'out and about' after a man critically wounded Majority Whip Steve Scalise in a shooting yesterday.

New York's Rep. Chris Collins, a strong backer of President Trump, said carrying a gun is not normal for him - but the attack in Alexandria, VA has forced him to change his mind.

Speaking to WKBW, Collins said: 'You look at the vulnerability - I can assure you from this day forward, I have a carry permit, I will be carrying when I'm out and about.

'On a rare occasion I'd have my gun in the glove box or something, but it's going to be in my pocket from this day forward'.

He added: 'It's got all the punch you need.'

Collins - who represents New York's 27th Congressional District which is on the border with Canada and contains parts of Buffalo and Rochester - also said he would be requesting an armed police officer at all events, including small ones.

They should have nothing to fear because DC has strict gun laws.  And no one with evil in their hearts or a criminal will break these laws.

That sports field was likely a gun-free zone.  They should pass a funding bill for more, slightly larger signs.

I wonder if dyslexics and the illiterate can use their lack of reading skills as a defense in such situations?

If the signs have the universal "No Guns" symbol, then they have no case.  However, if the person suffers from mental illness, he could claim he couldn't distinguish between signs that existed and those he imagined.

Well in Nevada, even though a place has a no guns sign, it isn't illegal to CCW there.  If they see it, they will ask you to 1) Disarm outside 2) Leave.  If you refuse then they'll trespass you and call the cops.

So with that being said, if you do bring your firearm into a place with a no guns sign and have it concealed, no one will know. 

But carrying concealed in public buildings  is against the law.

I wonder if the HB38 Hudson CCW reciprocity bill covers DC and territories and reservations.  It only mentions "States".

Or if they're blind...

They'll soon require all the signs to have motion detectors and a speaker system to announce it to the blind (and everything else that moves)...

Now, blind AND deaf...

I honestly hope a blind and deaf person isn't carrying a concealed firearm.  Ownership is one thing.  This would definitely fall in the realm of public safety. 

Although, if he/she can pass the live fire test without assistance, then have at it!  There may be a real life DareDevil out there somewhere.

Me too. I'd want them to be open carrying.

Moved my comment to here: Blind guy with a gun?  Uh, yeah!
