Oooooh, looks like we got some kind of badass here. Big man with a gun.Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.), who has repeatedly flouted the magnetometers that were installed near the House chamber after the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, set off the metal detectors while trying to enter. When an officer with a metal detector wand scanned him, a firearm was detected on Harris's side, concealed by his suit coat. Police refused to let Harris in, and the officer signaled a security agent that Harris had a gun on him by motioning toward his own firearm. [...]
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said she will fine members who bypass screenings $5,000 for their first offense and $10,000 for their second. Those fines are not yet in effect, as the House hasn't adopted those rules, and a few members continue to not comply with the screenings. On Thursday, HuffPost saw Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), Rick Allen (R-Ga.) and Boebert all refuse to be wanded down after setting off the magnetometer.

Here's some really simple rules:
* refuse to use metal detector? No entry
* refuse to be search if setting off metal detector? No entry
* carry a firearm into Capitol? No entry
Why are firearms even allowed in the Capitol building at all???
It's almost as if
lizard-peoplepoliticians elected to high office think the rules don't apply to them or something.C.
