Reagan: Smart Man

This author learned, quite by accident, that President Reagan carried his own gun, everywhere he went. Even on Air Force One, in case something broke out there, and an attacker got through the Secret Service—which they did the day he was shot. The author, Brad Metlzer, who writes political thrillers, was told this by members of the Secret Service one day when he was on a tour of the secret Service offices. Most presidents don't carry their own “heat,” but they should, liberals notwithstanding. They're the number one target for crazies the world over, and the Secret Service is not perfect, though they've done a pretty good job thus far—except the day Reagan got shot. The president himself, should be the last line of defense, no matter what the anti-gun fools think. Who cares what they think, anyway? I think the only reason he approved of the Brady gun Bill later was out of respect for Brady, even though he knew it wouldn't work. (Daily Mail)
