Washington’s police chief on Monday warned Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) that she is subject to the District of Columbia’s laws while carrying a weapon, apart from an exception that enables her to carry legally to the U.S. Capitol complex.
“There are no exceptions in the District of Columbia, as you mentioned, with the exception of being able to carry on U.S. Capitol Police property. For the District of Columbia, we plan to reach out to the congresswoman’s office to make sure that she is aware of what the laws of the District of Columbia are, what the restrictions are,” Metropolitan Police Chief Robert Contee III told reporters during a press conference, when asked about Boebert’s plans.
