Rep. Lauren Boebert Hints She’s Still Taking a Gun to Work in Congress

Rep. Lauren Boebert is thumbing her nose at the new rules in Congress — metal detectors be damned, she’s strongly suggesting she still brings a weapon to work at the Capitol.

We got Colorado’s freshman Congresswoman Thursday afternoon on her way to Capitol Hill, and asked a pretty loaded question: How’s the first year on the j-o-b going?

Boebert, a noted gun enthusiast from Rifle, CO, immediately teed off on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi‘s new regulations — some for COVID safety and others due to the Jan. 6 insurrection … including the installment of metal detectors.

But, you gotta see what she said when we asked if she hoped she’d eventually be allowed to pack a pistol again at work. She insinuates she never stopped.

Boebert — who recently had a display of firearms behind her during a Zoom meeting — took one last parting shot … labeling the Capitol and its still fenced-in protective zone, “Fort Pelosi.”

For the record, she could have a gun with her while going to her Congressional office … which is not in the Capitol. While there are metal detectors, members of Congress are generally allowed to go around them.
