Re: Giffords Shooting Leads Two Lawmakers to Carry Guns

The U.S. Marshals Service can deputize a member of Congress as a special deputy marshal if a threat assessment shows they are in danger, a federal law enforcement official said.
Carrying a special deputy badge allows the bearer to carry a concealed handgun anywhere, including inside a federal building like the U.S. Capitol.
The above really chaps my hide. Why do Congress critters get this special privilege? Why can't you or I carry in the Capitol? More political elitism run amok.
