Once the big wigs were gone, the guns were no longer banned. There were people all over the area, inside and out, very well armed.
Yeah Trump is shit scared someone might shoot him. Can't think why.
Surely all NRA guys are "good guys with guns"...aren't they?
I'm not sure what Trump thinks, and whatever he does think, he seems to change his mind quite a bit.
But that's not really the point here. The Secret Service has the final call on these issues.
On a side note, you can carry in the Texas State Capitol.
Open carry will not be permitted at schools, secured areas of airports, court rooms, hospital and government meetings, according to the new regulations. Three grocery stores H-E-B, Safeway and Whole Foods - have opted out of the law, saying only concealed weapons are allowed in the stores.
Open carry weapons are permitted, however, inside the state’s assembly building, or capitol, where licence holders can bypass metal detectors.https://www.independent.co.uk/news/worl ... 93466.html

Guns were banned at the recent NRA convention. Can't think why. :wink:
