State Rep who had his guns stolen from his underwear drawer running for SOS

"IRON MOUNTAIN, Mich. (WLUC) - UPDATE: State Representative Beau LaFave announced Monday he’s running for Secretary of State.

“After looking at the field of candidates I’ve determined that there’s nobody that has announced that has a better chance of defeating Jocelyn Benson in November than I do,” said Rep. Beau LaFave R-108th State House District.

Rep. Beau LaFave said on his Facebook announcement Monday morning that he is running to “open the offices.”

“I will be a Secretary of State that will be honest and restore some semblance of integrity back to the office,” said Rep. LaFave."

"Avid Second Amendment supporter and UP lawmaker has home burglarized, guns stolen...

The guns were stolen from LaFave's underwear drawer. While he doesn't believe he was targeted for the theft because of his photo, he said the reason people should be armed is because of people who would steal firearms.

"I know I didn't do anything wrong but you still go through every decision that you made and what you could have done better and that's why every Michigander who is a law-abiding citizen should have firearms to protect against bad people like whoever broke into my home," LaFave said after the robbery.

A detective has been assigned to the case."

I gotta admit, I've never thought of it that way.
