“New security measures outside the U.S. House chamber prevented a Republican lawmaker from bringing a gun onto the House floor Thursday. Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD), who has repeatedly flouted the magnetometers that were installed near the House chamber after the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, set off the metal detectors while trying to enter.
Hello @SpeakerPelosi, why wasnt this scumbag Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.)
*arrested* for trying to sneak a gun into the HoR? Are some animals *still* more equal than others?https://t.co/GN95r50jsI— 𝕯𝖗. 𝕰𝖗𝖎𝖈 𝕯𝖆𝖓𝖛𝖎𝖑𝖑𝖊 (@EricDanville) January 22, 2021
When an officer with a metal detector wand scanned him, a firearm was detected on Harris’s side, concealed by his suit coat. Police refused to let Harris in, and the officer signaled a security agent that Harris had a gun on him by motioning toward his own firearm,” HuffPost correspondent Matt Fuller reported Thursday.
“HuffPost witnessed the interaction and later confirmed with a Capitol official that Harris was carrying a gun. HuffPost watched Harris try to get another member to take the gun from him so he could go vote.
The member, Rep. John Katko (R-NY), told Harris he didn’t have ‘a license’ and refused to hold the weapon for him,” the publication reported. “Harris then left on the elevators and 10 minutes later returned to the House chamber. He placed his cellphone and keys on a desk to the side, did not set off the magnetometer and was allowed to enter the House floor to vote on a waiver to allow retired Army Gen. Lloyd Austin to serve as President Joe Biden’s defense secretary.”
