> I once saw a citizen with a 6-shooter strapped to his hip at a Colorado county clerk's office peacefully fill out some paperwork for 5 minutes. What does this story tell us about what rioters did or didn't do while tearing up the capital building?

1 minute of Googling tells me that Colorado is an open-carry state, and there is no specific exclusion for county offices, so unless this was in Denver or another municipality that prohibits open carry I don't see the relevance of your story to what happened in the Capitol.




That's his point. There's no comparison between entering the public part of an office during business hours and what happened yesterday.
