Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.) had something on him. I believe it was a gun because a cop made a side holster motion to another cop. They refuse to let him in.
He goes toward the elevators, asks a member to take something from him, the member says he doesn’t have a license.
I also heard Andy Harris say he told his staff to remind him.
Andy Harris comes back, puts his cell phone and key on the desk, steps through the magnetometer, doesn’t set it off, and is now on the House floor.
The member who Harris asked to take his gun was John Katko.
Katko refused, saying he didn’t have a license.
Just asked Pelosi about this gun situation (she was passing by). She wouldn’t comment.
And here’s a story about the whole situation:
Andy Harris went through the magnetometer, set it off, let an officer wand him who discovered the gun, was sent away, tried to get another member to hold his gun, eventually left, and then returned sans gun.
