Facing a new wave of potentially dangerous threats, called for by a top Democratic lawmaker, legal and gun experts are calling on top Trump aides to get their concealed carry permit and back it up with a pistol.
"There are simply not enough police in D.C. or Virginia or Maryland to protect all Trump officials at their homes and when they go out to restaurants. Getting a concealed handgun permit would be helpful to protect themselves and their family, said John R. Lott Jr., president of the influential Crime Prevention Research Center.
High level officials in the Trump administration, especially if their faces are likely to be recognized by many in the public as a result of appearances on TV, might want to consider applying for a license to carry a concealed weapon in the District of Columbia, and/or other states they frequent, in view of the call by Rep. Maxine Waters for the public to absolutely harass these officials in public places, and other recent events indicating the increased danger they are in, added public interest law professor John Banzhaf.
And Emily Miller, who wrote a book about the difficult process getting a gun permit in Emily Gets Her Gun, tweeted, Trump admin officials can get DC gun carry permits to defend themselves from the crazies who obey Maxine Walters.
Recent legal decisions have lowered the hurdle for Washington residents to get a concealed carry permit but it can take a long time to get one, unlike in neighboring Virginia.
As a result, Banzhaf suggested Trump aides move now.

It’s a sad and dangerous time we live in. We are indeed witnessing the fall of the Civil Society.
A word of caution:

KNOW the laws regarding the use of lethal force, not knowing them can get you incarcerated for a very long time.

Conservatives should prepare from the storm that’s brewing. Just arm yourself with knowledge before arming yourself with a firearm.
I carry every day. I PRAY I never have to pull.
Translation: There are a lot of crazy ass Trump haters who would be hailed as a hero by the left for the cold blooded murder of a Trump aide, and their innocent families, too.
