Armed near but not on the same property that “The Messiah’ will be.....he’s allowed. I wouldn’t do it but nonetheless he’s in his right.
It is his right, and to some extent in the other town halls, some responsible exercise of the 2nd Amendment may be necessary to guarantee the exercise of the 1st.
