During the Democratic ticket’s segment on CBS’s “60 Minutes” on Monday night, Vice President Kamala Harris disclosed that she owns a Glock.

In a conversation with Bill Whitaker, Harris mentioned she has used the gun at a shooting range and has had it for “quite some time.”

Harris previously identified herself as a gun owner during her debate with former President Donald Trump, who opted out of the usual interview with “60 Minutes” last week.

She first confirmed her gun ownership when she was a U.S. Senator while initiating her 2019 campaign for the Democratic nomination in 2020.

“I have a gun for probably the same reason many people do — for personal safety,” Harris remarked at that time. An aide indicated that Harris had purchased the handgun years prior to her declaration, and it was properly secured.

At a campaign event on September 19 with Oprah Winfrey, Harris humorously referred to using her firearm.

“If someone breaks into my house, they’re getting shot,” Harris quipped.

This past summer, Trump faced the possibility of his New York gun license being revoked following his conviction on multiple felony counts for falsifying business records. CNN reported that his active concealed carry permit was suspended in April 2023 after his indictment, as per the protocol in a state where gun licenses are often annulled after convictions.

Details regarding Trump’s license, including which firearms he is permitted to possess, are not publicly available due to a confidentiality request filed with his application, according to the New York Daily News.

A traditional interview in a nontraditional campaign

The “60 Minutes” interview marked a traditional moment amidst a largely compact and unconventional campaign.

This sit-down, which originated with Richard Nixon and Hubert Humphrey in 1968, stood in stark contrast to Harris’ recent appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast released on Sunday.

Both Harris and Trump have utilized unconventional media outlets to connect with voters who often skip past traditional news sources.

Before her “Call Her Daddy” guesting, Harris engaged in discussions on the “All the Smoke” podcast hosted by former NBA players Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson.

Trump has also participated in various non-traditional platforms such as LIV golfer Bryson DeChambeau’s Breaking 50 series, a live stream interview with far-right figure Adin Ross, and the “This Past Weekend” podcast hosted by Theo Von. Business Leaders for Harris, led by Mark Cuban, appeared on “This Past Weekend” in September and launched their own podcast on the same day.
