TWT: “Ms. Chase said she always carries concealed in the Virginia State Capitol but decided to carry the gun openly following an incident Monday in which the police were called on a mob of immigration activists who confronted Republican state Sen. Dick Black.
“It concerned me,” Ms. Chase told The Washington Post about the incident. “I’ve had threats. I’ve had stalkers since I’ve been in the General Assembly. I am going to continue to represent the issues that are important to my constituents, and I’m not going to be intimidated by people who would try to physically harm me.”
“I’ve had people get in my face. I’ve had people come up and try to touch me inappropriately,” she said. “And it” — the gun — “is a deterrent.”

At least five of Ms. Chase’s Republican colleagues in the Senate also carry guns, but they keep them concealed, The Post reported.”
