Like you and me, only better
Ordinary citizens will have to check their guns at the Statehouse’s entrances when metal detectors are installed in the building next year.
Lawmakers, however, will be allowed to take their guns with them inside.

Even though it would be likely that I wouldn’t put a finger on the trigger and pull it while reaching in to get it out, it was a risk I’d rather not even take.
