It’s not just her bills that are sparking attention. State Sen. Amanda Chase, R-Chesterfield, generated buzz on Tuesday by presenting them while wearing her .38-caliber revolver in a custom-made holster.
The first-term senator — a fan of government transparency and opponent of the Equal Rights Amendment — said she wore the gun following an incident Monday in which Capitol Police were called after immigration-rights supporters confronted Sen. Dick Black, R-Loudoun.
Chase said she always carries her gun in concealed fashion but decided Tuesday was a good day to carry openly when she presented her bills in the Senate Privileges and Elections Committee.

It's a sound precaution - legislatures contain a disproportionate number of mentally unstable individuals.

Not my state Senator, but I wish she was, has real guts.
Richmond has become overrun with illegal aliens and many parts already look like North Mexico.
Chesterfield has become a sanctuary county and does not cooperate with ICE.
Siding with illegal aliens against the citizens and the rule of law has to start having a price.
We have to stop voting for Bush League Republicans and elect more like this lady.

Smith and Wesson model 642 in a holster than is custom molded for the gun, but not custom made for her.

Smart gal. Liberals came out in favor of confrontation and violence. Americans need to prepare accordingly.
