Aside from all the usual debate that comes along when talking about guns, I think congressmen should carry a concealed handgun, especially after what has happened. Of course it is up to each individual whether to do so, but if I were in their position, I would start carrying if I hadn't already. Rand Paul said it best, that without the Capitol Police there who were Scalise's security detail, the rest of the congressmen there would have been defenseless and it would have been a slaughter. The unfortunate turn the political atmosphere is taking is worry at best, and as someone contemplating a career in government, I know I will definitely carry a concealed handgun on my person when out in public.
