South Carolina Republican Congressman Ralph Norman reportedly pulled out a loaded handgun during a meet and greet at the Rock Hill Diner on Friday morning.
Norman explained that, after being pressed by some at the meeting to support stricter gun legislation, he pulled the Smith & Wesson .38-caliber handgun out to prove the point that it’s the shooters, not the guns, which are dangerous.
Norman, who represents South Carolina’s 5th Congressional District, told the Post and Courier that he kept the gun out on the table in front of him for about five minutes, and that it was pointed away from people the entire time.
He told those at the meeting, “I pulled it out to make a point that guns don’t shoot. If someone walks into this restaurant shooting, I’m going to shoot him. I’m going to protect you and everybody else in here. I don’t mind dying, but whoever shoots me better shoot well or I’m shooting back.”
When asked by attendees whether or not the gun was loaded, Norman responded simply, “Absolutely, a gun without bullets is useless.”
Present at that meeting, part of a series of “coffee with constituents” meet and greets, were local members of the Bloomberg-funded gun control group Moms Demand Action. One member, Lori Freemon, told the Herald that she wasn’t sure it was legal for him to display the gun.
South Carolina’s concealed carry law states that the gun is to be concealed unless in use to defend life or property. “I didn’t have the courage to call out the congressman in front of everyone. … I was thinking, why does he think he’s above the law, he’s a congressman.”

Melt down, of course.
He did it because SC is set to pass a law that no one can confiscate guns that are legally owned, or SC will secede, again. SC probably has more guns than most states, except maybe NC...
>>(No one dead)
It was only a 38. The Elites have determined that those are acceptable for the Unwashed Masses to own (for now). If he had pulled out an AR-15 (which is any black gun over 24” long) or a Glock (which is any black gun under 24” long), then the gun would have killed hundreds in seconds because the bullet magazine cartridge clips hold 1 million times infinity armor-piercing, exploding, cop-killer bullets that are designed to kill instantly and then explode when the doctor tries to save the patient in the ER. Thousands of female and minority doctors die this year every single year.
Do I need the /s tag for this?? Sadly, yes. So...

The article is old, but if the numbers are somewhat accurate, that’s a lot of rifles. Toss in MOST of the vets, who are armed to the teeth, that don’t hunt and HOLY SH*T, that’s a lot of guns
I’d like to know which state has the most. Oklahoma is pretty well armed. And not one county voted for Obama or Hillary
Sadly our culture has so completely indoctrinated that guns are evil by the MSM people who have never seen or held a gun are terrifed of them.
Hand them a knife...no big deal.
Show them a gun, most react negatively.
I’m missing the problem? People think there aren’t guns around important people. He’s just open enough to show his.
It’s not a friendly gesture in most situations.
I just said most States, so whatever is more than half of the 50, so that would be maybe 24? lol.
Amen!
My guess is that the Federal Government may NOT want to find out, since we are a God Fearing, Bible Toting, Gun owning County! Clinging to our Bibles and Guns...lol! :)
Well they were discussing guns. Lol
SC Congressman Pulls Out Loaded Handgun
Ya forgot the important part;)
LOL!!! Perfect!
>>Ya forgot the important part;)
Not plastic bullets. Plastic guns that are invisible and undetectable by metal detectors.
