The Secret Service Doesn’t Trust Us
There’s a shocker. I guess they heard the reaction to McCain’s Plan on Global Climate Change.
By email from Ashley Varner of the NRA, apparently the Secret Service will not allow anyone carrying anything more lethal than a shrimp fork (if that) in His Presence:
I know there’s very, very little time, but i just received confirmation about guns in the forum.
This came down from the Secret Service–it was not our call, nor Sen. McCain’s.
NOTICE: By mandate of the U. S. Secret Service, no firearms will be allowed in Hall A of the Kentucky Exposition Center, the location of the Celebration of American Values Leadership Forum, on Friday, May 16. Please be prepared to go through security screening to enter the venue.
Honestly, I’m not at all surprised. I was in fact shocked that they were going to let him appear at a venue where a significant portion of the audience would be A) not government employees who were B) armed.
