Do I want guns in my house? Or my senate?

Standoff Over Guns At Tennessee Legislative Office Complex NASHVILLE, Tenn. — If it’s up to the Republican speakers of the state House and Senate, the more than half-million Tennesseans with permits will soon be able to carry guns inside the legislative office complex. The proposal announced Thursday comes as lawmakers in Arizona, Florida and Wyoming are also considering loosening gun restrictions at their statehouses this year. But Republican Gov. Bill Haslam’s administration is raising concerns about the proposed change in Tennessee. Haslam said in an interview with The Associated Press on Thursday that he wants to keep the gun ban within the state Capitol building, which is connected to the Legislative Plaza via an underground tunnel. “We don’t think that people should be able to bring weapons in here,” Hallam said. “This is a secure building. We’ve got metal detectors; we’ve got troopers with guns.”

What the hell. Are there legislatures that permit guns?

States like Idaho, Kansas, New Hampshire, New Mexico and Utah have no restrictions on bringing guns into the Capitol, while others like Texas and Oregon only allow permit holders to be armed. In Kentucky, anyone can bring guns to Capitol meetings — as long as they are carried openly. Firearms can be carried anywhere on the state Capitol campus in Olympia, Washington, but lawmakers last year banned guns from being carried openly in the galleries overlooking the House and Senate floors.

Oh?

Hm. (Crosses arms.)

Well, I'm still not sure about this.
