Eva Longoria
The “Desperate Housewives” star has been a pro-gun advocate since childhood. “I grew up on a ranch [in Texas] with my father, so he educated us early on about guns. We used to go target shooting all the time— beer cans, coffee cans, anything that exploded and made noise,” she said in an interview. And when she married media mogul Josè Baston, her security consisted of a “wall of guys with military grade weapons.” It doesn’t get more Texas than that.
Donald Trump
Now the President of the United States, Trump obtained a concealed carry permit several years ago. Trump said in a 2012 interview that he owned a .45 caliber Heckler & Koch sidearm and a .38 caliber Smith and Wesson revolver. “The way I view it, if nobody has guns, then only the bad guys have them. And they aren’t giving up their guns,” he said. Trump also told a French magazine in 2016 that not only was he “always carrying” but he would have stopped the shooters who attacked the Paris nightclub Bataclan in 2015. He repeated the sentiment after the Parkland school shooting.
Miranda Lambert
Even for a country singer, Lambert’s love for the Second Amendment is abundant. She says, “I carry a weapon. I got a death threat a few years ago and was really scared. But I don’t want bodyguards. I am my own security.” Lambert also has a song called “Time to Get a Gun,” in which she says it’s time to get a gun because the government wanted to build a highway in her neighborhood. Then there were her high heels at the 2016 ACM awards:
That’s one creative way to conceal and carry.
