US Capitol Police have arrested three people from Georgia on weapons charges after police found them with two firearms, according to a law enforcement source.

A suspicious vehicle raised concern among police, and a Capitol Police bomb squad is assessing the vehicle, the source said.

Police have closed several roads in the area around the US Supreme Court and the Library of Congress.

Capitol Police tweeted that “three people are being detained while we continue to investigate.”

People from Georgia are allowed to have weapons in their car. So, when people from Georgia visit the Capital, they might have guns in their car. They might have chosen to do that rather than carry the arms as the are allowed to do at home.

So, is a car from Georgia "suspicious"?

Perhaps the car had a Trump sticker

Weapon carry in the car without a permit. “Shall issue” concealed carry permit.

I’d give you good odds on that.

Not a work about JFK ?.
