Lauren Boebert is interviewed before her watch party at her restaurant, Shooter's Bar and Grill, on Nov. 3, 2020, in Rifle, Colo.Nov. 24, 2020, 12:29 PM UTCWASHINGTON — A firearms-toting congresswoman-elect who owns a gun-themed restaurant in Rifle, Colorado, has already asked Capitol Police about carrying her weapon on Capitol grounds, her office has acknowledged. If she does so, she apparently won’t be alone.
The inquiries by Boebert, who runs Shooters Grill, come as guns remain a passionate issue for both parties, fueled by images of, conservative pushes to ease state gun restrictions and recent years’ mass shootings. “There is no standing requirement” that lawmakers notify them when they carry a firearm in the Capitol, the officials wrote. Regulations require safe storage of weapons, but “that responsibility resides with the Member,” they said.
In his letter to House Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving, Huffman summarized the regulations after being briefed on them by Irving. An opponent of letting members of Congress carry guns on Capitol grounds, Huffman abandoned a 2018 effort to halt the practice due to colleagues’ strong opposition and said in an interview that he wouldn’t try again this year due to continued resistance.
“Members could have a loaded AK47 sitting on their desk and no one would ever do anything about it,” Huffman said. “Not only do I support members of Congress carrying a firearm, I believe every American has that right.” Greene said in a statement. “I will work every day to end ALL gun free zones.”
The D.C. police should keep a close eye on them.
Who is she planning on shooting and why would she need a gun in the capital building? OR is this just a stunt?
When she rides her horse ? She will clean up the horse shit right .
We have the right to bear arms as a well regulated militia. The constitution says nowhere we can take them everywhere. Does this moron think it's okay to put a loaded gun in a crib with a baby?
If she thinks she needs it maybe she should stay home.
Oh good another self righteous moron sent to Washington.
This is why mental illness should prevent people from owning guns!
As long as she doesn’t murder someone she disagrees with like Preston Brooks did with just a cane.
No 9ne should be allowed to carry a gun in the capital buildings
Oh Colorado
The f... Is wrong with her
No problem. A senator couldn't be a total crackpot capable of killing people....that's reserved for the President!
Embarrassed Coloradan here.
Wow! America has voted in some weird crazy people!
Just let these idiot Republicans do whatever they want, they will break the law, document investigate and make an example out of them.
Amazingly the ppl who most want to be armed are the same ppl I think shouldn’t have access to a weapon.
Is she related to Sarah Palin?
Why is this news if the practice is allowed What are you guys desperate for stories now that the election is over?!!
Well... if she really wants to endorse and live by ancient rules and regulations, she could give up het rights to work and vote... 🤦🏼♂️
But that is only on Capital Grounds. Can she do that in DC? I swear some of them treat guns like puppies that they must have with them! SMH
If only the GOP were as good at governing as they are sideshow stunts.
laurenboebert and her Q friend mtgreenee hide behind guns because they don’t have the intellectual dexterity to go against AOC and others. Leave the guns bring your brains.
Somebody explain to me why the hell she would need a weapon at the Capitol. If she’s trying to scare Nancy Pelosi, good luck with that.
Colorado and Indonesia are corresponding to each other!
Did she ask if she could fire it, too? Did she ask if she could throw hand grenades in the Capitol?
The 2020 must-have fashion accessory
What for? Incase she needs to shoot a constituent?
What is she afraid of?
It’s time to get rid of the “under decades-old congressional regulations.”
So she’s an (unknown) assh*le too.
Fcking nutjob.
Loser.
🙄
Good, democrats are killers and they threaten us everyday, just ask Kathy Griffin.
So dumb. So Republican.
thanks
She ran a heck of a campaign. Other GOP members should get advice from her.

The saying “Always back the horse called Self Interest” has never been more poignant to sitting Republicans than now. Their own desperate attempts to protect themselves, their futures and not push back Trump demonstrates their ineffective ability to be truly loyal to the country!
Bias corrupt Globalist MSM (mains sewer media). Globalist fraud and corruption have won the US election. Democracy has ended.
The Republicans have an 1800s mindset anyway.
