Rep. Ralph Norman on Monday continued defending himself from criticism for removing his handgun from his blazer jacket and placing it on the table at a “coffee with constituents” event in South Carolina on Friday.

“Two days in a row I’ve had front-page news question the legality of what I did,” Norman said on Fox News Monday morning. “I didn’t do anything wrong.”

He said he showed the pistol to constituents wearing red shirts for the gun control group Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America so that they would see that the gun “doesn’t shoot by itself.”

“It takes a person behind it,” the Palmetto State Republican said.

At the diner in Rock Hill, Norman defended groups that have faced intense scrutiny as mass shootings continue to plague the country.
