A poll about open carrying near POTUS events (MSNBC) - Page 6

Yes.

Anyone else notice that the SIEU Union Thug beatings stopped suddenly after the guns showed up?

Very telling, no?

I wonder if that guy knew how many snipers were watching him. Going anywhere near a presidential event with a gun is not in your best interest. maybe not illegal but not to smart.

I am a completely devoted supporter of 2A. I've got plenty of guns, plus a CC permit. But I just don't think it's wise or prudent for armed citizens to be showing up at a POTUS event.

If you want to go, that's fine, but you should leave your weapons at home. The main reason I carry is because cops are usually nowhere to be found, but an event like this is one of those rare instances where there's plenty of protection from all the cops and secret service. Why burden them with having to watch all kinds of armed citizens?

Just my $.02, of course.

And we need not be. It can change in one election. Won't likely, but opinions and attitudes change with each schmuck voted out of office. The ones selected need not have an aristocratic silver spoon shoved up the backside from birth, nor does the person need to treat people like that. Not all them do. NONE need to. Yes, part of the system begs for it. But, in the end, it is our choice. That's hopeful, at least.

Every thousand upstanding people seen without negative threats or crime emanating from them will be a positive force to helping us get to where we need to be: the recognition that upstanding people are NOT the source of crime or threat, at any time, let alone when a VIP-silver-spoon type is breathing within a half-mile of us.

Depends on the goals. The long-term interest of the People is to have upstanding people STOP being treated as criminals. Ain't gonna get that by rolling over for a lifetime. We're only going to get recognition that upstanding people aren't criminals and the source of crime/threat slowly, situation by situation, until the tide changes and the elected aristocracy can no longer politically afford to pee on the Constitution's intent.

uh...I hate to burst any bubbles, but if you're at a POTUS event and there's various forms of LEO there, they aren't there to protect you...unless of course, you just got elected. Just a thought.

I guess I should have stated it more clearly..... there's enough cops and secret service there to SERIOUSLY deter any crimes against me or my family. I think the BG's would probably stay away.

The security forces at one of those events would certainly protect whoever was there.

I voted yes just because the POTUS is in town does not mean I have to or will surrender my rights. If he is so afraid of the American public maybe he needs to look at what he is doing wrong or get into a different line of work.

I COMPLETELY DISAGREE!!

No offense but im kind of tired of people determining it is not smart to take guns to a Presidential rally.

Those snipers are not going to shoot another American unless he makes a threating move period. And if they do not have absolutely surety in their decisions they know as well as all of you in these forums that they are going to burn in prison for murder.

Unfortunately too many people that support these forums and 2A feel it isnt smart to take a gun to a pres rally.

I do not understand it one bit.

You people gripe and moan and complain about rights and all this stuff but then you want to agree that its okay to disagree with certain things such as OC at a pres rally.

Sounds like people here are mixed up as well.

Well freedom of opinion is awesome I will not doubt that but atleast think about what you guys really believe in.

I would absolutely do this if it were legal in my state but we are not allowed to carry in a public gathering in GA.
