Capitol Commission Chair William Kandler called the incident rare but \u201cinexcusable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Michigan State Capitol Commission speaks out after Ted Nugent enters capitol with firearm\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FnukWcbRLHQ?start=13&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re in this period of extreme political violence,\u201d Kandler said in an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/upnorthlive.com\/news\/local\/michigan-state-capitol-commission-ted-nugent-firearm-enter-trooper-miss-alert-gun-building-safety\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"ted-nugent-brings-gun-into-michigan-capitol\" title=\"Ted Nugent Brings Gun Into Michigan Capitol\u2026\"><em>WWMT-TV<\/em>.<\/a> \u201cWe have to look at things a little differently.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The issue? Nugent entered through the northern entrance, which only had one trooper on duty.

building safe and will review the situation to ensure it doesn\u2019t happen again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kandler praised the police for being transparent about the mistake and implementing an immediate
