POPE Visit to Philly - and State of Emergency Question

[Carson]

Is this not a site where we generally support being our own security?

Yes, but I think this goes a little further than personal security.

Armed or not, many of those attending would not be able to provide ample security for themselves. Our biggest issue is going to be Emergency Medical Services. They are trying to get 500 volunteer Paramedics and EMTs to work the event.

You may be able to provide your own security, not sure how you would treat a serious medical issue and to really impress me, I'd like to see you control your own traffic.

Just keep a "head's up" for my daughter who may be treating folks based on her experience as a Level 1 trauma nurse.

If for whatever reason you can't shoot, toss your firearm to her.

Her nick-name at the range is : "THE SHREDDER".

She'll keep you safe....
