Quote:Where it's different at a political convention is that no civilian is going to be allowed to have a firearm present period.  That goes for both parties and is common at many political gatherings, especially if there are a lot of political dignitaries present.  It's not the candidates or politicians that won't allow it, it's the Secret Service.

 

I remember going to see Bush at then Alltel Stadium.  There were metal detectors and scanners, and at the time I had to turn on my digital camera to prove that it actually was a camera.

 

Put it this way.  Weapons aren't allowed in a courthouse.
