Kamala Harris’ revelation at the most recent presidential debate that she is a gun owner caught some viewers by surprise – the vice president has said relatively little over the years about her personal experience of owning a firearm.

The vice president made a remark about the gun in her home that reflects changing patterns of ownership even as it offered a misunderstanding of the risks.

Vice President Kamala Harris told Oprah Winfrey Thursday that any intruder who breaks into her home is "getting shot" in what appeared to be a joke.
