“A right unexercised is a right lost” is the motto of many open-carry advocates. Newly-elected Congresswoman Lauren Boebert from Colorado wants to live the model — and do it on the grounds of the Capitol.

The man scored a bonafide Unicorn. I am happy for him.
Shouldn't that be true for any citizen visiting the Capitol as well?
And you know, no one ever expects Filipino insurgents....
Their the ones the flip over right ?
Apparently not if you hit em with a .38, thus the .45
