So the fed/ ss underreacts when needed and overreacts when not needed. Saved you a few minutes.

So this gets attention but a guy with a range finder and a big gun sized backpack is overlooked?

[americaamerica]

So arrest 2 old guys for legal guns in car but not a sniper on the roof?

I was 2 cars behind them when the Secret Service swarmed the vehicle. They were leaving, not bothering anyone as far as I could tell. That's just from my perspective.

"an hour after Trump left"
Making a story out of nothing

[BitWrecker]

Everyone in NC has weapons in their cars....

This is a nothing story… it’s not illegal in most states to carry your firearm in your car…

[Anna-pzry]

Isn’t it an open carry state? What’s the problem?

[dred]

So much drama when it comes to this Trump guy..

[gailkarabell]

What a disgusting world, what’s wrong with people 😡

[malenurse]

Really they left their guns in the car when they went to the event? Just like how many other people did?? There must be more to this than just finding guns.

[davecord]

I wish the kids in schools got the same protection too..

[bartlettredneck]

Two gentleman who happens to own personel small arms.🇺🇸

[SlavicChic]

Because gun owning citizens left their guns in their car. It meant they meant harm? This level of ignorance cannot be real.

[patmcbride]

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you, that you would find anyone in the Carolinas with guns in their cars.
Not!

For those who don't know, your vehicle is treated as your home. Having a firearm in your vehicle is equivalent to having a firearm in your own home.

Maybe they were plotting something, but we shouldn't just assume that they were. Firearms are carried lawfully by millions of people.

Let's be cautious that we don't normalize assuming that people carrying firearms are intending to engage in a crime. The statistics just don't bear that out.

*Update*
Turns out I was wrong. I was just repeating what the business I purchased my firearm had told me, but after people mentioned I was wrong I looked more into it and I'm pretty sure my initial statement wasn't accurate.
Obviously, please look into your local laws as each state will handle this differently.
Thanks for everybody who called it out.

Just trying to act like they are doing something

"Since the shooting"....really? How about "since the assassination attempt"?

[TEXASdaughter]
