    Would his Secret Service detail even let him carry in the first place? I feel like that’s a no-no.

      It rather is a huge no-no.

      First, firearms carried for protection are far more likely to harm the household of the person carrying it (or keeping it in the house) than they are to harm an intruder.

      Secondly, fighting near the client or whoever is being protected is like the single biggest fuck up they can make. If trump were to turn and try and fight, that just gives the attackers more opportunity to put a bullet in him (and probably get way more people dead.

      No… somebody attacks him, they’re grabbing his neck, and getting him the fuck out of there and into a fortress.

      He was in rotc or went to a military school, didn’t he? I have to imagine they did at least some rifle training. It was the 60s. Then again i wouldn’t be surprised if Donald weaseled out of training to go do whatever rich kids do with their free time.

      I once had my fingers up a through-and-through because the dumbass shot himself with one.

      Went through his thigh and nicked his femoral artery.

      Two things- “hey buddy this is gonna hurt” is a stupid thing to say, and it’s okay cuz he wasn’t really paying attention anyhow.

      For the record, it’s also a federal offense for him to have a firearm.

      In fact, it was illegal simply handing his indicted ass that trump-branded 1911 in the gun store

      You’ll notice no court made an issue of that

      Edit: the pic has already been posted here,. That is an ugly ass 1911.

          Except that he’s yet to see any penalty. And let’s be honest, he’s almost certainly going to get a suspended sentence and “probation”
