Felon stopped at Capitol with handgun

To all the liberals, gun-haters, and other nanny staters who were so certain the sky was falling when it was reaffirmed last year that licensed, law-abiding citizens can and will safely carry guns into the state Capitol building while not harming others nor hampering security:

In a nutshell, a felon tried to enter with a handgun, was easily caught and arrested.

The system works quite well providing security AND liberty, thank you. Now go find something else to whine about.

I think that has a lot to do with why they make the career choice that they do.
