And not for nothing, but by what authority does he get to usurp state law by forcing licensed carriers to disarm where carry is legal? Is there some kind of "no firearm" halo that follows the president around wherever he goes?

I think you hit the nail on the head. I'm not sure what law pertains to this, but, I guess if you're somewhere enjoying a meal and the POTUS wants to be there, well, I guess he gets dibbs. I know that goes for whoever holds the office. Kinda seems un-American imo. As for people being deemed "safe", I guess us law abiding, background check passing, card carrying, commoners just aren't good enough.

In related news, the POTUS visited Torchy's Tacos in Austin. http://kxan.com/2016/03/11/president-ob ... ustin_News
I'm curious what the impact to a minding-his-own-business LTC holder in Texas is on such an ocasion? Does the SS come inside and frisk everyone before hand? Is the law abiding person forced to leave, or worse yet, made to surrender his weapon?

That's short hand for 'South By South West' and it's a music festival in Austin.

I really doubt that the Secret Service gives a fig about any state's carry laws, if you are in the vicinity and are noticed carrying anything remotely resembling a weapon, even concealed, you can expect a rough time.

From my time stationed at K-bay, Oahu, Hawaii, (his favorite and frequent vacation destination,) I can tell you that when he visits someplace, it's a transportation nightmare. Not to mention how they treat the Marines, Sailors, and DOD civilians. GOOD LUCK AUSTIN!
