It’s not yet getting much notice but the press secretary of a Pennsylvania congressman is facing gun charges.
Ryan Shucard, 26, was hired by Congressman Tom Marino (R-Pa10) in late May.
He is a resident of Alexandria, Va. and is registered, trained and permitted to hold a gun in his state, which he does, a 9mm Smith and Wesson.
Well, on Friday, July 18, he brought it work, unloaded, which he is allowed to do as federal law allows employees of Congress to bring unloaded guns into the Capitol — which can even be loaded afterwards.
One of Teddy Kennedy's bodyguards was caught entering the Senate Building with a full-auto Uzi under his coat 10+ years ago,and they apologized for arresting him and gave his machine gun back to him.
This guy works for a Republican though,so the DC police aren't going to cut him any slack.
