(Reuters) – Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday issued a warning to any potential home intruder: “If somebody breaks in my house, they’re getting shot.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Democratic presidential candidate and gun owner made the seemingly unguarded comment in an interview with Oprah Winfrey before a live studio audience when the conversation turned to gun laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I probably should not have said that. But my staff will deal with that later,” Harris said, laughing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris, who has robust protection from the U.S. Secret Service, made the statement amid heightened concern about political violence after a second potential assassination attempt against her opponent in the Nov. 5 presidential election, Republican Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump favors few restrictions on arms and ammunition while Harris supports a ban on assault weapons, stricter background checks for gun buyers, and “red flag” laws that can temporarily take guns away from those deemed dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris told Winfrey she supported the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which protects the right to gun ownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris mentioned her gun ownership in 2019 when she was a U.S. senator and again in last week’s debate with Trump in what seemed like an appeal to more conservative voters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris owns a handgun for personal safety reasons, and it is stowed away in a secure location at her California home, a White House source told Reuters earlier. The source declined to identify the make of gun, but said it is the same gun Harris mentioned in 2019 on the campaign trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris, the former district attorney of San Francisco and California attorney general, told reporters in 2019: “I am a gun owner, and I own a gun for probably the reason a lot of people do – for personal safety. I was a career prosecutor.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
