[QUOTE="tweetr, post: 2098230, member: 5183"] Interesting article. I don't know how accurate it is, though. I like this quote: "Another agent noticed that he was wearing a pistol and asked what that was for. 'Well, just in case you guys can't do the job, I can help out,' Reagan replied." What the pistol was [I]for?[/I] What the eff do you think it's for? I would be tempted to give a smart-assed answer like, "It's a back-scratcher. I have this itch that's juuust out of reach!" I'm afraid I would doubt the professional competency of a Secret Service agent who has to ask what a pistol is for! On the other hand, though, the article quotes Reagan as supporting the Brady bill! Even granting that he was shot in the same incident as Brady I'm afraid I would have to spank the President on his understanding of the Second Amendment. [/QUOTE]
