Among his supporters this statement can't hurt!

Many of us carry.

Conversely, Barry (of bathhouse fame) has said on many occasions that he has never owned a gun. He calls gun-owning 'icky'.

Hillary had a gun, but she loaned it to Craig Livingstone to take on a picnic.

Having armed security makes sense for someone as rich and famous as Trump.My Dad worked for a billionaire long ago...when a billion was a lot of money ;-) He attended my Mom’s funeral (long ago) and arrived with several armed security men.I’ll never forget it.

How long before a Democrat pol in a gun control state that does not recognize reciprocity for gun permits tries to have Trump charged and arrested?

He added: "I always carry a weapon on me. If I'd been at the Bataclan or one of those bars, I would have opened fire. Perhaps I would have died, but at least I would have taken a shot. The worst thing is the powerlessness to respond to those who want to kill you," he said.

I have new respect for the Donald. I am a Cruz guy, but Donald speaks like a real man and citizen here.

It also doesn’t hurt his standing among those who aren’t supporting him. For whatever reason the vitriol that’s been seen ‘round here the past few months seems to have abated a bit and hopefully a rational conversation about the candidates can proceed. In nine months whoever the Democrats nominate must be defeated or we may as well turn off the lights for good.

Id like to add some prespective. Carrying a gun or owning guns doesnt make you pro-2ndA. Its a well know fact (exc here perhaps) that dems like guns too. They have no problem owning or using them. Their problem is that you can have them too. If Trump came out in unconditional support of general gun ownership without restriction that would be a far better indicator of his true views of the 2ndA. I think tho theres no past history with him to gauge any stmts he might make now.

Our beloved 40th President ALSO was packing heat, and his
Secret Service detail said he was a damn good shot too.

I love the fact that the GPO has three proud gun owners running for President. Cruz, Rubio and Trump are all happy to admit they own guns.

I’m surprised that Barry says he never owned a gun.

Many believe the gun to be a kind of phallic symbol.

From his web page.

He has made many statements in interviews to support his position.

Vince Foster was the one found dead in Fort Marcy Park. Maybe HomerBohn knows something about Craig Livingstone being there also?

As with liberals, Trump supporters only need to hear the right words. Actions and results are irrelevant.

Cruz personally assembled a coalition of 31 states to fight for the Second Amendment in the Supreme Court (DC v Heller, 2008), and is building a similar private group, already with 26,000 members, including co-chair Tim Macy (Gun Owners of America President).

Trump went skeet shooting with some friends once, and says that he carries a gun. He also as that he could shoot someone and his supporters would not change their vote.
