CA State Assembly Speaker John Perez “does not believe that members should bring weapons into the Capitol because the job of protecting the men and women who visit and work in the Capitol is best left to the well trained professionals in the sergeant’s office and the California Highway Patrol,” said spokesman Vigna.
“No senator has asked to carry a weapon in the Capitol, nor do Senate sergeants carry handguns.”
“I can’t imagine that would be something we would need to do, given our security in the building,” Beard said.
The California State Assembly Speaker has forbidden guns in the hands of legislators. According to him they are all splendidly protected by the (it turns out) unarmed Sgts. at Arms and the Highway Patrol. Yes that highway patrol which is intensely trained in traffic control.
Yet another impregnable fortress awaiting impregnation.
