Ohio congressman wants concealed carry for D.C. lawmakers. From WKYC:


Shortly before James Hodgkinson opened fire this week at a Congressional baseball practice, he asked a question.

“As this gunman walked down the field, he said ‘are these Republicans or Democrats?’” Congressman Jim Renacci said Friday.

That question has since haunted Renacci, a Republican representative from Ohio’s 16th District.

“Ever since I’ve become a U.S. Congressman, I’ve always had that concern of, you know, ‘is somebody around me,’" he said. “You do get a little fearful when there’s a large group of members without a large group of protection.”

It is why he believes those members of Congress should now be able to bring their concealed weapons anywhere they go, including federal buildings at the Capitol.

“If you have a valid license to carry, you should be able to carry,” he said. “I’ve actually told my staff to start looking at ways that members of Congress can protect themselves.”

Renacci believes that Republicans and Democrats would support the proposal.

Had there been more guns on that baseball field, he believes fewer people would have been hurt and said the one thing that kept it from getting worse was the security detail that Congressman Scalise had with him. (Emphasis added)​

Renacci is running for governor of Ohio in a crowded field that includes former Senator and current Attorney General Mike DeWine, who nearly destroyed his political career when he joined the likes of Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer, and Dianne Feinstein in support of the so-called "assault weapons ban" in 2006. For the most part, DeWine has been a decent attorney general and supporter of the right to bear arms, but now he's working tirelessly to try and make it harder for me to get the Percocet that gets me through a tough migraine every now and then -- even going so far as to sue drug manufacturers ... because they make products that help relieve human suffering or something. Government nannies tend to end up at the bottom of my list of preferred candidates.
 
“If you have a valid license to carry, you should be able to carry,” he said. “I’ve actually told my staff to start looking at ways that members of Congress can protect themselves.”

So is he asking this for just members of congress, or all of us?

I could be wrong but it's just members of Congress from what I've been seeing.

Based on what you told us about Renacci that figures. Screw 'em.

As I found out when I was in the military; there are two UCMJs. One for officers and one for the enlisted swine. Guess which one is brutally more strict.
Been there, done that, got no t shirt! Never had UCMJ action but I've done a few and seen a lot! I can't for the life of me ever remember an officer getting an Article 15.
 
In his blindness, he's asking for laws that will allow members of Congress to legally carry. However, it seems he sort of recognizes the fact that everyone should be abe to protect themselves, without him actually realizing what he is saying lol.

If DC would actually pass anything related to the subject you can rest assured it would only apply to those in Congress.

A small step forward, I guess.

He needs a reminder that his delusions to the contrary, his life isn't more valuable than that of the commoners he is supposed to serve. He could likely use a reminder of what service means too.

That's a step backwards. It's another division between those in government and "the people"
 
“If you have a valid license to carry are an American citizen, you should be able to carry because the U.S. Constitution says the government cannot infringe upon that,” he said. “I’ve actually told my staff to start looking at ways that members of Congress can protect themselves.”

There...fixed it, and provided the solution you're looking for Mr. Congressman.
