Rep. Ellmers Plans To Carry Handgun
NBC Channel 17 ^ | January 21, 2011 | NBC17 Staff

RALEIGH, N.C. -- North Carolina's newest Representative Renee Ellmers said the deadly shooting rampage in Arizona has made her concerned for her own safety.

Ellmers said she has a concealed carry permit and plans to carry a handgun at public events.

However, even in light of the shootings she said she will not support restrictions on certain ammunition.

"I think it was an isolated incident and has more to do with the individual who committed the crime than the actual ammo he was using," said Ellmers.

North Carolina Congressman Health Shuler has also said in recent weeks he will carry a concealed weapon during events. He's been doing so in Washington, D.C. since receiving death threats in 2009.

Maybe being ugly is what makes liberals liberal.

Other way around. Being liberal makes one ugly.

Yes I do and I also remember Webb throwing his ‘buddy’ under the bus.
I definitely lost the last shred of ‘respect’ I had for Jim Webb over this incident.
Marines do NOT act like this, especially towards one another.

IMNSHO, Webb should have ‘manned up’ and taken the heat for the weapon but he claimed ignorance....typical Liberal move.

I doubt a hollow point would travel cleanly through someone’s skull.

Or, are some people more equal than others?

Silly serf. Self protection is for the enlightened political classes not for tax paying peasants such as us.

Now get back to work and pay your taxes.

Things like this happen in an instant!!! The only thing that will happen will be reactive in nature...

If Sheriff Numnutz (I didn't know his name is actually an insult in Polish -- it is) had been on the ball and on his game, that drooling moonbat would have had about three sheriff's men on him the minute he walked up to the congresswoman. The instant he drew, he'd have died instantly.

I heard it happen once long, long ago -- 1973 -- in Atlanta. It was 11:00 pm or so, and I was reading in bed when I heard "fireworks" about eight blocks away from the rooming house I lived in. It was the Atlanta police closing out a rapist they'd been working for weeks, who liked to go around pointing a big-frame wheelgun at unaccompanied women and forcing them into his car. He pointed his piece at an undercover policewoman, and it was all she wrote. They shot him about 35 times in two seconds. No more Mr.Rapist.

I like the image of a Congresswoman with a holster.

I like those pics of Izzy hotties with African-carried M-16's bouncing on their butts.

Don’t forget it sets the limits and scope of operation of our government and those we elect to those offices...

Something they forget about from time to time...

More often than not these days though...

See...Now that is a happy ending...

Not so sure even if Sheriff Knucklehead had had a few deputies around would that have worked...If that had been the plan they should have rounded him up even before he got to the event...But for what, I would not know what they would have charged him with...

But hindsight is 20/20...
