No one thinks any such thing.. no one from CA could ever be such..

We got the memo.. some of us helped write the memo.

Abraham Lincoln carried brass knuckles. But why carry a gun when you're constantly surrounded by armed guards with machine guns?
I still think Reagan did much more more harm than good to our gun rights.

I wonder if it was somehow legal for him to carry in dc.

Tough to take this seriously ...

Armed: Author Brad Meltzer says Reagan took the gun even on board Air Force One. Above, stock image of a .38mm handgun

Just be thankful they didn't call it a Glock.

 

[Doctor_M]

That's one small round :-)

 

[Mr H]

Just be thankful they didn't call it a 38mm AK40 Glock-o-matic revolver.

 

[MigraineMan]

.38mm handgun

Pro: easily concealed

Con: bitch to load; not appropriate for people with typical human-sized hands

No one is perfect, but, what he did for the country on a whole, gives him a pass, in my book. Would you give up your guns, if it would return the country to the glory he brought? I would. In a heart beat!

Just sayin....everyone thinks Reagan was so awesome when it comes to guns, just because he has an "R" next to his name.

The democrats have done far better for the country and gun owners.

 

[Schipperke]

.35mm , then .38mm

Give them a break, they are English

He wasn't a perfect president (as if there ever has been one), but for all his faults, he kept the world on edge. No one knew what that man was going to do, and it kept a lot of the little dicktators in check.

A lot of democrats also carry. I've heard from staffers/unpaid interns in DC that some of the ones on the hill do too.

Hahha, when they want to publish the CCW holder's names you'll probably see a lot of them. Reagan is not alone on this.

He is the one who put the de-facto ban on sale of transferrable machine guns, right ?

The President is Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. Even though no President since Washington has elected to command the Army in person, any President could choose to do so during any engagement at any time. As such the President can possess and carry any weapon he so chooses anywhere and at anytime he chooses.

The President is considered to be a uniformed combatant under the Geneva Accords and it would be lawful for any enemy Soldier engaged in combat against the United States to kill him on sight provided that he was not incapacitated and did not attempt to surrender. There was actually a debate about this very topic in regard to assassinations when GWB was in office. Donald Rumsfeld was being asked by a member of Congress about the legality of targeting enemy commanders and he specifically stated that both the Secretary of Defense and the President are not civilian non-combatants but rather a part of the chain of command and as such are legitimate targets. His basic argument was that anyone who has authority to command the battle space becomes part of the battle space.

Frankly, I've never understood why any President wouldn't carry a firearm, especially if they're a veteran.

As long as on Presidential Trivia, Teddy R regularily packed. Once while at a State Dinner for the Ambassador of Japan, the Colt .32acp in his waistband slid down this pants leg onto the floor.

No.

I believe Madison was the last president to lead soldiers in battle.
