And That's Why I Support Barack Obama

A Blaine County judge has ruled he has no authority to stop guards employed by actor Tom Hanks from carrying guns while accompanying inspectors at the star's sprawling compound north of the central Idaho resort town of Ketchum...

"We are happy the court rejected Storey's request to impose control over how we manage our own property," the couple said...

Los Angeles attorney John Hanover, who represents Hanks and Wilson, said the couple has the "right to protect their property."

"The guards always have guns," he said. "It's a private home."
I'm sure Tom's bosom buddy, Barack Obama, will be happy to make exceptions for bodyguards of the elites.

I seem to remember Hanks being very anti-gun, but can't remember why. I thought it was very ironic for a man so interested in respect for WWII veterans who, without guns, would have opposed totalitarianism with rotting potatoes.
Of course that was then in a different world, and the Cult of Thulsa will bring us world peace -- just not peace with freedom.

What is the question about this? Its private property and according to the ID Constitution and the State Firearms Preemption law, the .gov can do nothing regarding carry on private property.
