I've seen a History Channel and it was about guns. It interviewed a Secret Service member on the Reagan detail during the assassination attempt. I believe it was an Uzi that one of the guys pulled out of his jacket. I assume at least 2-4 agents near the President will have some short smg in their jackets.

I think mainly Glock or Sig for handguns. The SMG choices would be pretty interesting.

I remember that too and later thinking where the hell did he pull that from?

The show slow-mode replayed and i totally couldn't tell he had such firepower with him. It was awesome. In mind, someones near the president has either a Kris Vector of some MP5 version.

Article in Guns and Ammo several years ago covered it. I don't recall exactly which handguns they were carrying, but their compact full autos were FN 5.7.

Speaking of SS, why was John Hinckley taken alive? IS there a mandate of some sort to try to capture such people? Seems like these days he'd take about 30-40 rounds.

I’d lean towards the thought of the FN P90 being under at least a few jackets, and it’s hard to argue why it wouldn’t be. But it would be better pretty bada$$ if someone had a couple of Micro UZIs on shoulder rigs like good ol’ Chuck Norris had ![[Linked Image]](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/244/986/273.png)

Capturing the shooter alive could likely make all the difference in determining if he acted as part of a conspiracy. Isn't that why Oswald never made it out of the police station alive, as some believe?
