And there's an article titled: Four Freshmen Texas Congressmen Defend U.S. House Chamber With Capitol Police Click Here

Seems there's no surprise that Andy Harris has ALSO carried a firearm, [although he's from Maryland, not Texas.]

You went from writing about the Four Freshmen Texas Congressmen to Harris  ALSO carrying a firearm, stating he was not from Texas. It's the ALSO that caused me to assume that you were implying the Texans were also armed.

Why would Harris try to start a fight with a fellow representative? Could he not communicate without resorting to violence? Definately not within the decorum I would expect from a decent, mature, educated adult.

I was under the impression that Senators and Representatives were allowed to possess firearms in their offices and the Capitol, but not in the chambers. Thus, the metal detectors. So when Harris tried to go past the metal dectors with his handgun, I considered that an inedecent thing to do. Why do so-called statesmen need to bring deadly weapons into the place where they are supposed to be representing their constituants in the legislation of our government? A doctor who has sworn to save lives and do no harm?
