Former and sitting presidents have a major difference in the level of security and zoning they do. The detail for a former president is just there to make sure no one rushes him. I recently played bass for an event where W. was speaking. I did not carry since it was at the Anatole hotel that is properly posted 30.06. However, none of the musicians or even the attendees were searched or even ran through metal detectors.Cedar Park Dad wrote:
Having worked at Sams when former Bush Sr. appeared twice they never did any of that nonsense. He just sort of...appeared with a bunch of people.

There's your first mistake. Ain't nothing worth that type of wait unless it's a free gun or ammo!!Redneck_Buddha wrote:I'd be super peeved if I had stood in line for 3 hours with a bunch of hipsters only to be removed from the premises so a politician I can't stand can cut to the front of the line.
My understanding is that his order was around $600. He could have called than in and avoided the line!

I think USSS is very familiar with CHL and dealing with it. They would more than likely either escort you out or ask you to surrender your CCW until he is gone. Most would probably never even know they had found a gun on you.
