Vice President Kamala Harris revealed that she owns a Glock gun during the Democrats' interview with CBS' “60 Minutes” on Monday night.

Harris told Bill Whitaker that she fired the gun at a shooting range and had had it “for some time.”

Harris told the nation that she was a gun owner during her debate against former President Donald Trump, who pulled out of the traditional interview with “60 Minutes” last week.

Harris initially admitted she owned a gun as a U.S. senator and in 2019 ran for the 2020 Democratic nomination.

“I probably own a gun for the reason that many people own a gun – for personal safety,” Harris said at the time. An aide at the time said Harris had purchased a handgun years before her testimony and that it had been locked up.

Harris joked about using the weapon during a campaign event with Oprah Winfrey on September 19.

“If someone breaks into my house, they will be shot,” Harris said.

Trump was prepared this summer for the New York Police Department to revoke his state gun license after he was convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records. CNN reported at the time that Trump's active concealed carry permit was suspended in April 2023 after he filed charges against him, following standard protocol in the state where gun licenses are often revoked after a conviction.

The details of Trump's license, including which weapons he may or may not have a license for, are not readily available due to a confidentiality request in his application, according to the New York Daily News.

Traditional stop in an untraditional campaign

The “60 Minutes” interview was a moment of tradition in an otherwise abbreviated and untraditional campaign.

The session, first recorded in 1968 by Richard Nixon and Hubert Humphrey, contrasted with Harris' “Call Her Daddy” podcast appearance, released Sunday.

Both Harris and Trump have turned to non-traditional media to reach potential voters who avoid traditional news.

Before the “Call Her Daddy” appearance, Harris spoke with the “All the Smoke” podcast, hosted by former NBA players Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson.

Trump has appeared on several non-traditional platforms, including: LIV golfer Bryson DeChambeau's Breaking 50 series, a live stream interview with far-right personality 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 the group launched its own podcast the same day.
