There&#8217;s no reason to suggest it was intentional.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>From <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollcall.com\/hill-blotter\/peter-boby-gun-arrest-at-capitol\/\">Rollcall<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>According to the database Legistorm, Boby has been working as the U.S. Marine Corps congressional fellow in California GOP Rep. Duncan Hunter\u2019s office since January 2015. Boby is one of 10 Marine Corps fellows working in the House.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know about the rest of you, but this seems ridiculous to me. Not that he was arrested for breaking the laws, but rather that the law doesn&#8217;t allow a combat veteran still on active duty in the halls of Congress to carry a weapon, even on his way to work, when an unarmed service member is most vulnerable to violence, you know, where there are no Capitol Police to protect him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Associated Press reports that Gunnery Sergeant Peter Boby, a Congressional fellow from the Marine Corps&#8217; &hellip; <a title=\"Gunnery sergeant arrested with gun on Capitol Hill\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=61217\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Gunnery sergeant arrested with gun on Capitol Hill<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[156],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61217","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-guns"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61217","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=61217"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61217\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=61217"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=61217"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=61217"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
