It is the Secret Service that sets the rules on who gets to carry within the exclusion zone, not the state of Texas, the NRA, City of Dallas, or Trump/Pence.Grundy1133 wrote:"regular guys"or not, I don't care how popular you are or how big your salary is, I think it's unnecessary to disarm the good guys. If a bad guy decides to show up in a room full of armed citizens PLUS secret service, the VP should feel safe knowing that the bad guy will have about 200 holes in him before anything bad happens. Me personally, I won't be listening to him speak. I won't be going anywhere that I cant carry my firearm. It's essentially the nations largest get together for gun owners and they won't let law abiding legal gun owners carry guns because someone who's supposedly pro 2A thinks its too "dangerous"? thats liberal logic right there... one of the safest places I could think to be is in a room full of law abiding armed citizens... just my 2 cents
Look at it this way, imagine what a prime opportunity it would be for some rabid gun hater to take a pot shot at the VP AT the NRA Annual Convention.
The campaign ads would write themselves.
