QuoteIf you're a woman who fears she's going to be raped... you might be wrong. So said Colorado State Representative Joe Salazar (D-Thornton).
Arguing in favor of House Bill 13-1226 to prohibit concealed carry of firearms on Colorado college campuses, Salazar rebuked critics who said the law would remove a female college student's ability to "level the field" and legally protect herself from potential attackers.
"It's why we have call boxes, it's why we have safe zones, it's why we have the whistles," he explained. "Because you just don't know who you're gonna be shooting at."
He continued: "And you don't know if you feel like you're gonna be raped, or if you feel like someone's been following you around or if you feel like you're in trouble when you may actually not be, that you pop out that gun and you pop, pop a round at somebody."
He's since offered an apology but the very fact that he not only said this, but still supports the idea of women not being allowed to conceal and carry equalizers to ward off potential rapists is downright sickening.
