I posted this story once before after we did a live fire demo for GW. We told the Secret service it was a little strange all of us were going to be shaking the Presidents Hand with loaded Weapons and Explosives on our persons.
When just a few years before we weren't even allowed to have Bolts in our Weapons for Clinton. GW told the Secret Service when briefed about security for the FT Bragg visit in 2001.
