After Jan. 6, pistol-packing Rep. Boebert finds new colleagues suddenly more receptive

Because of rules imposed by Democrats who control the House of Representatives, Colorado Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert said she did not have her Glock on Jan. 6 when she was in the U.S. Capitol as it was breached.

“I was disarmed, and I wasn’t able to defend myself,” Boebert said.

Since then, Boebert said several members of the House and Senate have expressed interest in carrying a firearm in the Swamp, according to a March 5 column by Paul Bedard.

“I’ve had the privilege of hosting classes for members of Congress and the Senate to receive their Washington, D.C., concealed carry permit, yes,” Boebert told Bedard. “We’re making sure that members are fully able to protect themselves within all bounds of the law.”
