to show that owning a gun does not instantly make a person a monster. It drags those slurs, of which I mentioned some, out into the daylight to show they are just hateful rhetoric.

Some of us have both. Harris has not given any detail what she has or how she may carry.

As for "toting" since a prosecutor can be accosted at any time, I would be mildly surprised if she did not have a California carry permit. Such a permit would allow her to carry a firearm to some degree in 35 states. (She has said she does not have a gun in DC as they have no reciprocity)

I don't see her being that kind of ammosexual.

My best friend is a retired prosecutor and she always had a carry permit. I would venture a guess that it is a common practice. I'll have to ask her.
