    I would most definitely never attend a political convention unarmed.

    The right to self defense is a universal right, one that cannot morally be rescinded, altered, or hampered.

    Marshall law in the wild west may have had more strict gun control than we do today in public places

    I don't see what the possible hold up could be. Gun free zones are dangerous, right?

    The right to carry ends at the doorstep of private property. It's up to the property owner to decide if he'll allow guns on premises. As is the property owner's right.

    If you don't like it, you can carry your guns elsewhere. As is your right.

    As it should be.

    I am absolutely in favor of the delegates exercising their second amendment rights at the convention. It would be completely against their principles to not have the angry Trump supporters heavily armed when the nomination is taken away from him.

    It's not going to happen. But for all the Trump or Cruz supporters, would it make a difference to you if your candidate didn't support the delegates right to carry at the convention?

    The 2nd amendment applies to government making no law infringing on the right to bear arms. It says nothing about companies, corporations, saloons, private schools, etc. They can make any rules they want that are otherwise lawful.

    The secret service says they won't allow guns at the convention.

    So un-American.

    The convention center isn't government property. The owners can work any deal they choose with the secret service.

    Deals are so American.

    the candidates will demand the convention is moved to the Bundy ranch.

    Not really. It seems that is why most of the mast shooting take place in the gun free zones, such as schools, because there is little danger to the shooter.
    The carnage can go on unimpeded for quite a long time before the authorized gun shows up.
