CCW as President of USA?

I would carry, of course, but my nickname would be probably something stupid like "Fatso"...and since I have less than zero chance of being elected, not too worried about it.
I sincerely doubt Dear Leader carries anything deadlier than a pen. I hope the next one thinks a bit differently.
 
I don't believe they carry weapons. But I think that the Secret Service body gaurds carry. Like when President JFK was assassinated, a member pulled out an Uzi from his jacket.
 
Jefferson carried, but that was before anyone thought up this permits and permission folderol. My evidence is circumstantial. The NRA Museum has one of his pistols, a pocket job and almost certainly one of a pair; its mate is lost.
 
i would pack the same thing i do now if i were president a glock 23 and a kahr pm40 but id go to all those gun schools that i cant afford like thunder ranch and front sight and id get a 50 barrett semi auto and a mini gun and my own armored f250 pickup and charge it to all you tax payers :evil::neener::neener::what:
 
It would sure beat having a bowling alley in the white house. A nice range downstarirs. If I were podus, I want at least an sbr, or a Glock 18. I also want to drive one of those tricked out Tahoes. The ones with the turretts on top, with twin blown 602's. It's the least they could do to reward your butt. Throw in jesse James as my driver, and some world class shooters, for my bodygaurds. Maybe Jason Stratham as a backup driver.I wouls give Pelosi a biplane.Maybe a spad.Of course she would have to fly herself and Harry reid around. And un sync that machine gun to the propeller.
 
If I were prez I would certainly, also, convert the White House bowling alley to a range.

I would consult the attorney general about how to get me a really sincere-looking carry credential. I'm sure something could be worked out: Maybe Special Deputy to the Department of Education.

Guns. Hmm. Well, I've been reasonably satisfied for many years with a service type revolver in .357 and a .38 snub for formal occasions, since both work the same way and thus are unlikely to confuse me going from one to the other. One of my Secret Service men would be especially detailed to throw me an 870 (in Cruiser Carry mode, if you please) if things turn ugly.
 
If I were president, I'd have a harsh job, but I'd have a ball with the guns. For starters, I'd allow for more foreign and domestic MG's to enter into the civilian market. Second, get an FFL, train, and learn to defend myself. An assassin could strike at anytime. Come to think of it, it would be awesome to see Obama standing in his suit holding an AK assault rifle. /END dream segment.
 
you no what id do if i were president if you can carry in your own state than you can carry in the rest of them as well i mean you are a united states citizen . its BS that you cant carry in all states
 
Hmmm, me as president....

Agent: No Mr. President, we are not going on a trip to the dump, and shooting rats with fully automatic weapons.

Iffen I Wuz Pres . . .

Interesting thread revival.

Would I carry if I were pres?

Yes, I would. And it wouldn't be a secret.

It would be to set an example. Famous people get to incite trends and fashions, and as long as people are going to point cameras and microphones at me, I'm gonna show off my new holster, brag about my last range trip (Golf? Seriously?) and use the bully pulpit to encourage a revival of rifle teams in the schools (since the FedGov would no longer have the authority to mandate curriculum).

There would be presidential awards for marksmanship. A Colt 1911 would be deemed an appropriate recognition for valedictorians as a symbol of self reliance.

Leather specialty houses would vie to bring out a line of holsters under the heading of First Lady Fashions.

Gifts to foreign heads of state would be presentation-cased pistols or suitably ornate long guns.

Columnists would find themselves writing articles with titles like, "The President's New Gun;" reporters covering rifle matches wherein all the participants -- including the president -- fired three stages from wheelchairs.

Firearms and ammunition would be specifically exempted from sales taxes.

Man, I would have a freakin' ball if I were president.

:D

 
wow this woke up fast.

Also if I were president I would go to Aberdeen and "for the good of the troops" test shoot one round from everything. From Tanks, Javelins, Stingers, Artillery, Ma Deuce, sniper rifles, pistols, shotguns, etc.......

It would take me a few days but man would it be worth it. And just one shot per weapon would be reasonable to the taxpayers budgets.

Plus it would be golden PR to help sell things to our Allies. Only the best weapons to defend the USA! Tested by the President so it must work!

Of course I'd have a few soldiers (combat vets) around and ask them "Does this really work in the field or is it good looking junk like ED-209 in Robocop?" Any junk I would have replaced (Talking to generals or use executive order as last resort)

Oh and hey Secret Service agents, take a few shots on the range yourself. Good to be familiar with the toolbox if you ever need it to defend me and democracy. :)
 
Presidential debates would be a hoot. Wonder if Perry would ditch his 380 for something more substantial?

Bill Richardson used to pack or at least got his CCW with a Glock 19, IIRC.
 
I do not want to be President. But, If I was the First Lady my platform would be NRA training for all children and public support of the shooting sports for children. Espically urban kids who never get a chance to learn firearm safety, have fun and learn about their 2nd amendment rights. Oh and YES I would carry and I would make sure I got to practice with the secret service etc.
 
Major members of the British Royal Family do as well as I think the most senior Members of Parliament, definitely the Prime Minister. Whilst there obivoulsly exists no standard issue sidearm given the suitability and existing usage I would hazard a guess at the Glock 26 or the Walther PPS. Just my 1.64 pence!

Silly British people and their silly denominations of knowledge and/or wisdom that are worth 1.2195 times more than ours.

On topic: Of course I'd carry. I'd have a polymer wonder-gun on my night stand, and for CC, I would rotate 1911s between Ruger, Smith and Wesson, Ed Brown, Wilson, Colt, Springfield, and Kimber. All American, seems fitting.

;) I was being modest, the USA may be accepted as having the World's most powerful military but who has the intergalactic empire?

Well played. Although I have to add that we are the ones that revolted against that empire, and won. :neener:
 
Yes well ahem FRANCE ahem SPAIN. I don't hate the Americans, that was fair game, although you would find our tax rates far more preferable to Obama's! :) And with the high percentage of British immigrants it was fairly close to a civil war anyway. Still, I suppose one can view NATO as a syndicate empire. I really like America and value her support, and that's the common feeling amongst the British people, although the politically inclined hate and laugh at Obama and that dreadful Bachmann creation! You need Thatcher and we need Churchill!
 
Yes, I've often wondered what it would be like to have the great leaders from history here now, and what they would say. We should probably return to on topic now, though...
