President Trump stopped at a gun store in South Carolina before speaking at his sold-out event in Summerville and joked about buying a gun as excited workers showed him around and took photos with the President.
The President reportedly admired the gun but did not end up purchasing it, according to his campaign.

This is how you do retail politics.
President Trump is showing the American people that he will stand for the Constitution and the Second Amendment.
The Gateway Pundit reported on the large crowd in attendance at the event early this morning, hours before the doors opened and six hours before President Trump is scheduled to speak.
