I know it's only a movie, but............................

I know it's only a movie, but I was watching Air Force One the other day and couldn't help but think that Harrison Ford's ordeal would've been alot easier if he had an Emerson knife on him. I prefer the waved 7, as you know, but for the president it should be a Commander[in Chief].

Of course if I were president, I would insist on carrying my own Emerson or two and a Beretta 92FS.

Actually, if a President wanted to, I don't think there is anything that would prevent him from writing an Executive Order or a Presidential Decision Directive [PDD] to the effect they could be legally armed anywhere they wished while in The United States of America...

Hell, they write EOs and PDDs for everything else...

That is, with a Firearm. They could carry any knife they choose as it is now.

Hell, we just had a President that perjured himself and he got a pass, surely, the AG is not going to bust the ass of the POTUS for carrying a folder or 5 of them.

I think the Secret Service would chime in, and object, but they could not stop him either.

The Prez would not even have to write the law, he does not have to go through metal detectors like the Serfs do anyway.

Who is going to bust the Prez?

No one...

Actually, all he would need to do is have himself deputized by the US Marshalls, and then he can carry everywhere, just like that b**ch Dianne Feinstein did[there's a dirty little secret for ya

].

I don't know why the USSS would complain if the president was trained to an acceptable level. Seems to me they'd like one more trained gun around.

Are you KIDDING?! Ross'd get impeached in a second. he wouldn't think twice about getting a BJ in the Oval Office! He'd probably do it while he was addressing the Nation too, the bastid.

I keep hearing this rumor of Feinstein having herself Deputized to carry in the District, do you have a source for that?

See2 I represent that accusation........I mean resent that accusation! And before you talk you might want to check. It isn't called the Oval It's called the Ovum office

And the comment about doing it while addressing the Nation....... refer to Ken Cooks comments on boosting my ratings. My advisors tell me that I Must do everything in my power to boost my ratings.

i think that the USSS would not want the president in a gunfight as an active party. their job is to protect him, not to have him fight along side him. they are supposedly willing to take a bullet for him to get him to safety, not so he can be the last man standing in a gun battle.

when i become president in the election of 2040, after my time as a prosecutor, congressman and senator ill probably pack a glock and 2 waved CQC-6, righty and lefty. if you guys are still around in 2040, i'll invite you all to the shooting range and kill house that will be set up on the south lawn. dont bother bringing your own guns, i'll have enough toys for everyone to play with.

Hey the prez would not have to worry about carrying a gun on the plane or anywhere. Since he is comander and chief of the armed forces in my opinion makes him a member of the military. As LBJ once said "They are all my planes Son." I think it would kik some serious buttocks if the Prez went about "well heeled" . But the sheeple would raise heck.
