GOP rep unveils bill to install weapons lockers so House employees can take guns to work in 'crime-ridden DC'

Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., on Friday introduced legislation that would allow congressional employees to carry legally possessed weapons in self-defense to and from Capitol Hill and safely store them while at work.

The Safe Storage Lockers for House Office Buildings Act would require Capitol Police to install and operate lockers at the entrances of House office buildings where workers could store their weapons.

In Washington, D.C., individuals are allowed by law to carry and use certain weapons for self-defense, including self-defense sprays, stun guns and concealed firearms. However, both D.C. and federal law prohibit individuals from carrying these weapons inside a federal building.

Pretty common in Alaska to leave your open carry gun with the
“front desk”, in the LARGE grocery store and pick it up when you leave.
Smaller stores, nobody cares as they are as well armed as you are.
Too bad Americans have to deal with Democrats,

Normally, I assert the absolute supremacy of the Second Amendment in Law, however I do make one exception.

I would proscribe all Government Employees (Federal and State), from possessing Firearms, excepting the Military.

Go ahead, have at it.

Maybe if they can get some of those black seeking projectiles.

However the Woke/black seeking projectiles are probably better.

Funny. Especially if old man Biden is within sniffing and fondling distance in DC.

Seriously, I would be OK with an ALL CIVILIAN (NO Government Employees allowed) Oversight Board establishing criteria and permits for Police and Sheriff’s Officers Firearms privileges.

“ If We The People can’t carry, they can’t carry.”

I think this is a great, creative way for the Republicans to force the Democrats hands on gun control. Well played.

This. Unfortunately, getting a permit in DC is near impossible. Son had to wait 6+ months to get one in Virginia with a Top Secret designation!!
