...but is it legal for non-LEO to carry at political gatherings in UT and NC?

http://content.usatoday.com/communit...ngress-guns-/1

Two Congressman, one R one D for those who worry about politics, intend to carry their own handguns at future gatherings, in reaction to Tucson.

Wonder if other government officials plan on doing the same, but haven't told the press?

And how would the rules apply, in states where carry at a public gathering or political rally is banned?

Would make one take another look at the haves vs have-nots.
