Are guns allowed in CPAC?

[meadowlark5]

If not, why? I would think guns would be welcome at CPAC. They are the party of 2nd amendment rights. If they want guns allowed in bars, parks, schools/colleges, sporting events, the street, the grocery store, state house - why not CPAC?

1. We can only hope . . .

2. I am not a big fan of FDL, but they say no guns at CPAC or Palin events.

3. Good question. But...

I betcha they are not allowed.

Heck, CPAC has a dress code and they are telling folks even what shoes are and are not allowed.
I saw a post here on DU about it last night.

4. No, it's in Washington DC

Guns are still not allowed outside of the home except for law enforcement and the paid security mercenaries of the 1%.

5. Wasn't there an incident last year of those packing having their weapons

confiscated, or am I confusing another event with this one?

6. they'll make some convenient excuse like THE VENUE doesn't allow it but

of course they'd be just fine with it. right.

The more the merrier!

12. Alas. Just as evil minds hoped for a little gunplay between the Paul and Mitt bots in Tampa.

It appears we will be disappointed again, but I always enjoyed sphagetti westerns.


Just in case, here's a icon...

14. Wow! I was almost ashamed of myself for wishing guns on them.....

9. They probably chose the venue to have an excuse.

Someone might ask this question sometime in the media and how could they explain the banning of guns at CPAC? Why would it be unsafe to have guns (among friends) at CPAC but it's not unsafe to have guns everywhere else? So they probably chose a place that wouldn't allow it. Cowards.

10. I read somewhere that they were not. Can't verify it, but it makes sense.

They don't trust their own "wisdom".

11. No. They know the yahoos that carry them are a danger. The rest of

us get to put up with yahoos walking around with guns in their pants.

[geckosfeet]

13. The only people who are carrying there are probably getting paid

to make sure that the peons don't carry theirs.
