Just when you couldn't think any better of President Ronald Reagan. (In comparison to the current occupant...)
The downside is the author of the article just HAD to use the hackneyed line 'packing heat' sheesh..

I recall an interview with General Schwarzkopf during the Kuwait war. They showed his bedroom and there leaning against the wall was a double barrel shotgun.
He was protected, I assume by a ring of security but still depended on himself as the last resort. I liked it.

I was thinking he would carry a .44 Single action Peacemaker, Colt.

Too bad he didn’t have his briefcase open when Hinckley came around.

He should have had an Mp5 in his briefcase.

“Too bad he didnt have his briefcase open when Hinckley came around.”
The time from when Hinckley fired his first shot to the time he fired his last shot (the one that ricocheted off the door and hit Reagan) all took place in less than 2 seconds. Doubtful Reagan could have gotten a shot off if even his protective detail couldn’t. But I admire the guy for being armed even when meeting with the heads of other countries, including Russia.
