She is in the district just east of mine. If you remember, she initially refused to give up her paycheck during the government shutdown. Apparently, the AR15 was left leaning against the gun safe in an unlocked garage. That is sort of like having your helmet strapped to the side of your motorcycle.

DUNN, N.C. -- The Dunn Police Department is investigating the theft of an AR-15 assault rifle from the home of U.S. Rep. Renee Ellmers.
According to a police report, Bret Ellmers' said the rifle was left leaning against a gun safe the day before in the garage, which had been left unlocked. Bret Ellmers told officers he and his son had left the rifle in the garage after going target shooting. The report does not say whether the weapon was loaded.
Ellmers spokesman Thomas Doheny says the congresswoman was in Washington when the rifle was stolen but declined to discuss details, citing the ongoing police investigation. He added that, as a mother, Ellmers is concerned that the rifle was left unsecured. "Her family is very big on gun safety and she wants to get to the bottom of this herself," Doheny said.
Everyone who has had a child shot never thinks it will happen to them and that they are safety conscience.
