Love that the lead picture is Evers himself.

The man was taken into custody for openly carrying a firearm in the Capitol, which is against the law, Warrick said. Weapons can be brought into the Capitol if they are concealed and the person has a valid permit. The man arrested did not have a concealed carry permit, Warrick said.

See, now, if he just concealed it and didn’t give the Capitol police reason to search him, he could have stayed out of trouble. Personally, I’d rather know who is carrying a gun than have to guess.
