Let me understand this yet another example of legislative insanity. If you carry a legally concealed weapon into the viewing chamber, there is no problem. However, if you carry a firearm, out in the open where everyone can see it, it is a crime.
The liars, thieves and perverts outdid themselves on this one.
One reason why: seeing those out in the open scares the little pussy leftists, especially since it reminds them that their intimidation power is limited.
