https://dailycaller.com/2019/01/17/amanda-chase-virginia-open-carry-era/A Virginia state senator utilized the state’s open-carry law in a unique way on Tuesday by carrying her .38 caliber revolver with her right into the state’s capitol building.
Amanda Chase, a first-term conservative state senator who has made news by being a vocal opponent of the Equal Rights Amendment, decided to carry her gun after pro-immigration activists confronted a fellow state senator the day before, forcing Capitol Police to be called, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
“I’ve been called a ‘badass,'” Chase said to the Post, adding that she believes the practice “empowers women.”
“I jokingly call it my ERA.”
