Sally Kern, the Oklahoma lawmaker who gained national notoriety with an antigay rant was stopped from entering the state capitol on Wednesday when she was found to have a loaded handgun in her handbag.
Guns and knives are prohibited in the capitol and it is a misdemeanor to bring a weapon inside. However, Kern was not charged because there did not seem to be any "malicious intent' behind her actions according to Chris West, a patrol spokeswoman. Kern said she forgot to take the .380 caliber semiautomatic handgun out of her purse after she stopped to talk to a colleague.
West also confirmed that there had been a second incident when Kern made it into the building with a gun in June. The first time, the weapon got through the security checkpoint, she said. ''I got all the way up to my office before I realized I had it, so I reported it,'' Kern said.
Kern complained earlier this year of receiving death threats after an audio clip was posted on YouTube in which she calls homosexuality a bigger threat to the U.S. than terrorism.

This was Ellen's response to Kern's homophobic comments. It is quite funny, but I wish she had actually managed to talk to Kern herself.
