Rep. Katherine Harris (R-FL) is taking classes to get her concealed weapons permit reinstated.

Apparently, her license lapsed after she got it in response to receiving death threats over the 2000 election. (Something tells me if she’s getting death threats now, it’s not from the same people.)

The visit to the gun range will double as a photo op, with media invited to broadcast images of Harris that could play well with gun rights advocates.
