I need to make a retraction. Capitol Police DID NOT attempt to bait us. DOA policy is to allow Open Carry, (although not recommended.) OC in the Capital on Nov. 1, would have been a violation of 941.235, because we did not have licenses yet, they had no intention of doing anything about it. That was demonstrated today when GlockRDH and I open carried in the Capitol on Monday and they had no interest in checking our CWL's. No such request was made or insinuated.

A lady walked up to a Capitol Officer and claimed that our handguns had to be concealed. He responded and she challenged him and he then said, "Lady, if it was illegal, I would have arrested them already." And she walked away.


The long gun matter was a totally seperate and unrelated issue and DOA has prohibited that, making such action a trespass violation of $1,000 state forfieture.

We got a picture of J.B. Van Hollen with GlockRDH OC'ng in the Capitol.

Snip...

I need to make a retraction.

GOOD ON YOU.... Takes an MAN to admitt he was mistaken....you have my repect.

In my original post in this tread I mentioned that I was also told (face to face) that it was ok to OC in the Capitol, and that I got the very distinct impression that the guy (CLEO) that told be actually believed what he was saying.

Well no ****. I don't believe it. Someone pinch me.
You can see the sidearm blocking your right hand a bit in the larger image.

Van Hollen is such a tease. All these mixed signals! What is a country girl to think?

LOL!!

I should've had him point at the gun with a look of terror on his face...
Or pull his coat aside to show his pistol.
Man, Jay, how do you do stuff like that?
I mean, he was just wandering around & agreed to pose for a picture?

When my WI permit eventually shows up, we'll have to do lunch again, then go back to the Capitol w/ cameras after the unwashed hippie protest singers are done for the day.
Or, heck, meander through the middle of them, armed. [evil grin]
