The President and a gun

Factual Questions
41

So Bill Clinton was a Marine? He commanded the United States Marine Corps, so now he’s a former Marine, right?

And can the President prescribe medicine? There are doctors working for the federal government and the President is in charge of them, so he must be a doctor. I guess he’s a lawyer and an Indian Chief too.

Condoleezza Rice reports to the President. Does that mean George Bush is a black woman?

But the president wouldn’t be exempt from gun laws (e.g. laws on carrying concealed weapons) and would be treated like any private citizen in that respect, wouldn’t he?

Step 1: Bush fills out a federal concealed weapons permit
Step 2: “Gonzales! Sign this.”

If that’s not good enough, he is the Commander in Chief of the military. You don’t arrest soldiers at Ft. Bragg for carrying guns, right?

Well, actually, they do. They being the local law enforcement teams and the military police. I am a Soldier at Ft Bragg, and I still must follow the local laws regarding carrying of a weapon. Even when going to a firing range or on an exercise that requires me to carry my rifle, there are still orders signed, memos submitted etc that authorize me to carry a weapon. So, even if you consider him a Soldier as Commander in Chief, he would still have to have permission to take out his firearm, or follow local laws.

Who would he need to get permission from? Himself?
ETA: BTW are you a Super Duper or a Dirty Nasty? (I assume you will get the reference, I doubt Bragg has changed that much.)

Super-Duper, but not on active status. Thanks for asking. :slight_smile:
But back to the hijack, IMHO, he would have to sign out his official carry weapon from who ever was on armorer detail in Congress that day. :stuck_out_tongue:
