John Adams Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Meanwhile the police officers that responded on 9/11 are being told they can't carry their firearm inside the museum. I don't know many museums where they allow people to carry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tux of Borg Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I don't know many museums where they allow people to carry. HR 218 allows law enforcement officers to carry anywhere in the United States. There are some exceptions, mainly federal buildings, but most have lock boxes to secure your firearm in. A lot of these guys knew someone that died. God knows what they were exposed to when digging through the pile at ground zero. Let them carry their weapon inside the museum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I've never seen a museum that didn't have a gift shop. That's their source of funding. Like concessions at a movie theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Maybe it can help pay for the health care of the first responders on 9-11 WASHINGTON — Republican senators blocked Democratic legislation on Thursday that sought to provide medical care to rescue workers and others who became ill as a result of breathing in toxic fumes, dust and smoke at the site of the World Trade Center attack in 2001. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/10/nyregion/10health.html?_r=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the unions abandoning them? On a side note, just think how all of this would be a moot point if Clinton had taken Osama Bin Laden when he was offered up.

It's not like they're selling burning Twin Towers snowglobes. People will always B word. I went to there this past winter. The museum and gift shop weren't open but the endless waterfall and names were there. Edited May 19, 2014 by John Adams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
