Someone please make a good argument why guns are needed in legislature chamber?It needs to be like a courthouse, they must provide security and lock boxes for guns. I think this "ban" should be nullified until they make concessions to adhere to the same conditions as a courthouse. legislature chambers have the same potential for emotionally charged outbursts as a courtroom does, I fail to really see much of a difference.

The same guys who helped us at Starbucks and Target helped us in the legislative chamber. Thanks guys! And 90% of everyone who saw that picture on the front page of the ST is thinking, "Those guys are nuts! Something should be done about that." That picture will likely become the poster of the registration movement that's about to begin.I have the 1st Amendment right to stand in a cop's face and swear at him. I choose to keep that right and not exercise it to a point where the rest of the public thinks that there are times when our 1st Amendment rights should be void. I will fight for my right to bear arms, but I'll be damned if that means I'll purposely alienate myself from the majority by shoving it in their faces and scaring them.
good for them show we aren't gona take it any more Boo Hiss on the legislatures for wetting themselves!
What we have now is the worst, law abiding citizens prevented from carrying while law breakers continue to ignore gun laws anyways. The lawmakers are not safer due to this action.

While I understand the reason for their action, the net effect regardless of what they may think, is that once again they have only eliminated law abiding folks from carrying guns.

I'm not against open carry, but why would one want to bring an AR or AK into the chamber? About as bright as the open carry into all the restaurants who then have there hands forced to regulate it. Open carry side arm, but the long guns, get people worked up.

We shoule write and tell them off too, or at least let it be known were not happy with their reaction.
