Annie Oklahomophics Got a Gun, Enters Capitol

A state lawmaker who gained national notoriety with an anti-homosexual rant was stopped from entering the state Capitol Wednesday when she was found to have a loaded handgun in her purse, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol said.

Patrol spokeswoman Chris West said Republican Rep. Sally Kern was not charged because there did not appear to be any “malicious intent” behind her actions.

West said officers are allowed to “use their brains” when determining if an arrest should be made in such instances.

West also confirmed a second incident in which Kern made it into the building with a gun in June.

You may remember Kern as the woman who proclaimed at a republican convention that “homosexuality is a bigger threat to national security than terrorism.”
