Answer 2

I have a hard time believing this since guns aren't allowed in public buildings and this "congresswoman" would know that.  Please provide a link to this.

Answer 3

It is rather disturbing that law enforcement [or whoever made that rule] does not trust actual elected Legislators to carry weapons, when they have the authority to decide the gravest matters in government.
