CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ)-- Bringing a gun or other weapons to the State Capitol Complex isn't allowed. But, one Senator believes the ban on weapons is too broad.

Preston County Senator Dave Sypolt brought Bill 147 before the Senate last week. It proposes repealing the prohibition on bringing deadly weapons onto the State Capitol Complex.

"You're going to have that knee jerk reaction oh gosh he wants crazies running around the capitol with guns," said Senator Sypolt. "That's not the intent at all."

What the Senator wants is for certified gun owners to at least have the right to keep their weapons in their vehicles while doing business at the capitol.

Crazies ? Inside the Capital, or outside on the Grounds ? Waiting for the Idiots to show themselves and explain their actions to armed Citizens, who by the way, will protect you from the Crazies.

It is said “Truth is the mightiest of Weapons.”
That is why Weapons(Truth) are not allowed in
government buildings.:)

Chances are this is a way to get the Black Panthers to ‘guard’ the congressman and make sure no one tries to harm Obama. And of course make sure that they do not interfere with Obama’s policy.
