LePage considers carrying a gun after congressmans shooting
Source: Bangor Daily News
PORTLAND, Maine Gov. Paul LePage said he may start carrying a gun in response to the Wednesday shooting at a congressional baseball practice in Alexandria, Virginia, that left five people wounded including House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-Louisiana.
Im thinking of carrying, yes, LePage said when asked whether he felt the need to protect himself after the incident.
LePage cast the shooting, which also left a congressional aide, a lobbyist and two Capitol Police officers wounded and the lone gunman dead, as part of escalating national and global tensions that go beyond politics.
The gunman, James Hodgkinson, 66, was killed in a shootout with police and reportedly decried President Donald Trump on Facebook before he opened fire on the Republican teams practice for a charity baseball game. LePage, a Republican, said he was deeply disheartened by the shooting, especially if it was politically motivated, and hopes that people come to their senses.

Morans that drunk-call their political adversaries to call them c**ksuckers should never be allowed near a gun.
