“The sign says ‘no firearms or weapons beyond this point,’” Stubbs said. “It was very visible, on my door.”
Wisconsin State Representative Shelia Stubbs, a Democrat, is speaking out after a Republican colleague brought a holstered firearm into her office in the Wisconsin Capitol building earlier this year in defiance of a weapons ban.
According to Stubbs, who said that the story was recounted to her by Castro, as Sortwell was exiting the office, he pulled back his coat to reveal a holstered firearm. Castro told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that Sortwell found the sign silly and expressed his opinion that people should be not be afraid of guns. According to that report, that was why Sortwell then opened his coat to better show his holstered gun to the aide, who subsequently asked the legislator to exit the office.
Sortwell has derided the version of events currently circulating in the media, but told a local news outlet that he doesn’t “care enough… to correct it.” She is proposing the installation of safe storage lockers to help facilitate concealed carry policies at the Capitol.
