What would happen if someone came to a grassley event with a loaded gun?

More than likely, the person would be arrested, even if the person had a legal permit for the gun. Grassley voted against the background check law and went against 80 pct. of the people in America and at least that many in Iowa as well. So since the loonies openly carried guns to Obama rallies, maybe they should carry guns to any and all Grassley events too. But something tells me that if that happened, arrest would be the result. Grassley is a coward, pure and simple.
As for myself, I have no intention of bringing a gun, loaded, unloaded, or toy to any Grassley events. I do however intend to ask a question during the q and a sessions. The question is, "When did you stop representing the people of the state of Iowa and start representing special interests?" His goons may hustle me out of there but I plan on asking anyway.

whether they'd be okay with it if people came armed to their events, since they insist that people have a right to do so when Obama is appearing somewhere. And if they say yes, then people should do it, and call the Republicans on their hypocrisy if they don't permit it after all.

And if they say no, then people should ask why they've insisted that citizens have a right to be armed at an appearance by the president.
