Pistol Packing Rep. Sally Kerns Caught With A Gun At Capitol

Not only does Republican Oklahoma State Representative Sally Kern shoot her mouth off, she apparently shoots more lethal weapons as well. The Oklahoma legislator, who was caught on YouTube ranting against gays and lesbians was caught at the entrance to the Oklahoma Capitol with a .380 caliber semiautomatic handgun in her purse.

Kerns said it was a simple mistake, that she forgot the gun was there. She does have a permit for carrying a weapon, but it is illegal to bring weapons into the State Capitol. This is the second time Gun-Toting Sally has been caught with a gun at the legislature. The first time she made it through screening back in June and carried the weapon to her office.

Both times she claims were simple mistakes. A Highway Patrol spokeswoman, Chris West said Kern was not charged because there did not appear to be any "malicious intent" behind her actions.
