    secret service really can’t just shut everything down when he shows up for a golf or something. Especially for his routine and daily life. It sounds like the guy was standing around a public right of way along the perimeter of the golf course.

    my understanding is the agents sweep the next hole ahead of trump getting there, and that’s when he was noticed. (I assume control both that, the hole trump is on, and the previous, to keep anyone from coming up behind,)

    the thing I don’t understand is how somebody would be just chilling with a rifle out in plain sight like that. Even the PA guy knew to keep the rifle tucked away before it was time, right?

      Florida (desantis) recently enacted concealed carry, so I’ll be curious to see what law this nut actually broke.

      Apparently the guy made a sniper nest hidden in the bushed and the agent noticed the rifle barrel sticking out of the branches
