@unabomber I remember when Bush came through to the same location for a speech. I was in high school. We had little warning, and Blackhawk helicopters were circling the area. It was strange to see them during gym class. Not long after the students lined up by the road to try to get a glimpse of him as the caravan drove past. I think half of us flipped them off.

Cops were everywhere, including the school parking lot because it was right at the edge of the highway.

It was nerve wrecking because myself and several of my friends had guns in their cars. One was particularly worried because he had a handgun (under 21!! ) in his truck.
