Look, I am a former LEO, combat veteran and of course I carry 24-7! Do you think just because some celebrity whether it be the President or some other dignitary appears in public I'm going to leave my weapon at home or in the car? They put their pants on one leg at a time just like I do. If you look at the history of the SS, their ability to protect the President is about 50%. Seems to me the odds of protecting the leader of the country would be enhanced with more "legally" armed citizens in the crowd! Like most of us who carry we are more aware of our surroundings and note odd behaviour by others in a crowd.
First tennent of protecting yourself and defending others is "awareness"!
