I'm pretty positive there is a security screening of everyone that enters that building and if you get a weapon past them, you are still breaking the law. I don't believe you can legally carry a gun in that building, if you aren't law enforcement. I may be totally wrong, but I'm confused as to how they didnt get charged with anything.

“I take firearm safety very seriously” exactly as expected of any politician. Liar.
If he brings his gun in the bathroom does he ever sanitize it? 🤔
He kisses it and loves it and wishes he could marry it. Is that enough?
I know that movie! But I think that happened in an Italian restaurant.
I leave my deadly weapons in public bathrooms all the time and no one writes articles about me.
That's just nasty 😉
Biological weapons don't count unless the flush mechanism fails.
At least he didn't do a backflip and shoot into a crowd of people, right?
I think if the pro gun crowd wants to get people on their side they need to be harder on gun carriers who are irresponsible. Leaving a loaded gun anywhere should be anathema.
a LOT of gun owners hate these types of dipshits. Leaving a gun out like that should be a fine or felony.
At the fucking minimum they should lose their right to own guns.
Not enough apparently
Right? I have family that are pro-gun, and I'm almost certain they would be royally pissed about someone being this irresponsible with their weapon.
But nobody ever hears them complaining. Why?
Holy shit, this is terrifying. For the entire run time of an episode of Rick and Morty, there was a space where there was a loaded, unattended gun in the state capitol that literally anyone in the building might've happened to find, pick up, and do whatever they want with it.
How can this not be an immediate wake-up call that stricter gun control legislation is necessary? This is Colorado, not Texas, I really hope most of the voters here, even ones that lean conservative, aren't so far gone that they can't see how crazy of a situation this is. Maybe that's naive but I really hope it's not.
In Texas this happens so often we get training on what to do if we find an unsupervised gun in a bathroom at the state owned hospital where I work. We're also not legally allowed to prevent people from carrying weapons in the whole hospital because guns > patients.
Dystopian...
