Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., pulled out his loaded .38-caliber handgun and placed it on a table for several minutes while making a point about gun rights during a meeting with constituents Friday.
"I’m not going to be a Gabby Giffords," Norman said, during the "coffee with constituents" meeting at a Rock Hill, S.C., restaurant. Giffords, a former Arizona congresswoman, was shot outside a grocery store during a constituent gathering in 2011.
"I don't mind dying, but whoever shoots me better shoot well or I'm shooting back," Norman told The Post and Courier.
