Yes, it's an interesting question.

I'm also interested in knowing whether or not the President packs heat, or if Mr. or Mrs. Clinton do, or did.

It's interesting, mainly because it tells you something about how secure a person actually feels.

I work in Manhattan and live in a beautiful town in Connecticut where the only crime is drunk driving. I don't have a gun in the house because I sense no danger from outside, but real danger from a curious five year old. I don't feel threatened going to and from work and don't think I need a gun.

It is interesting to me that James Webb, who has a LOT more money than I do, and a LOT greater protection in where he lives and works, feels the need to carry around a gun. I compare it to me and think that he has paranoia problems.

If the President walks around with a gun, for example, it's strange. I mean, he CAN, but it would say something about his mindset if he really did. I doubt he does. I doubt Hillary does, or most Senators.

There's something weird and creepy about the idea that a man as cloistered and sheltered as Webb thinks he needs to pack heat on Capitol Hill. It speaks, in my view, to a paranoid mind.

I will bet you real money that Hillary does NOT carry a gun, and that Bill Clinton doesn't either. Not because either of them abhor guns, but because they both are realistic people who recognize that there's no threat to them.

Fine, your decision. But the Constitution says that the rest of can make our own decisions on the matter.

Even paranoids can have real enemies...........H. Kissinger......

I will bet you real money that their bodyguards do.

Both realize that they face a more likely threat of death aboard a sabotoged aircraft. But others around them have most certainly died from gunfire, ranging from the Feb 1979 murder of UPI Little Rock Statehouse Bureau reporter Judy Danielak in 1979 to the July 1993 gunshot homicide of White House Deputy Council Vince Foster.
