Two guns stolen from lawmaker's home, including one he brought to Whitmer speech
Source: Detroit News
Lansing, MI An Upper Peninsula lawmaker known for his Second Amendment advocacy had two firearms stolen from his Lansing home over the weekend.
One of the firearms is the same one Rep. Beau LaFave, R-Iron Mountain, brought to the House of Representatives Jan. 29 ahead of Gov. Gretchen Whitmers State of the State address.
LaFave posed with the pistol outside the House chambers shortly before the governors address and posted the photo on Twitter, with the message:
I open carried in the capital (sic) today to protest Governor Whitmers proposed unconstitutional gun laws. If she wants to disarm law-abiding Michiganders, she can start with me on the House Floor. Tonight is the Michigan State of the State. #SOSmiSOTS

He had them stolen right out of his apartment. No safe. No trigger locks. Loaded, and sitting around the pad.
After he told the Governor Come and take them.
Well, somebody did.
Now he is afraid somebody might hurt someone with them.

He demands equal rights for all hunters.

(36,309 posts)"I didnt leave them lying on the counter so anybody casing the joint could see it at the time, LaFave said. To require any gun owner in the state of Michigan to do anything more than that would be an infringement of their constitutional rights."
He's made himself look like a fool.
Some more info from the article:
"Both firearms were loaded and hidden within the home and the front door was dead-bolted, he said."

Deadbolts do little to prevent a break in unless one takes steps to reinforce the entry way.
