Donald Trump Says He Carries a Gun ‘Sometimes a Lot’
The billionaire says he likes to be "unpredictable."
— -- Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has long acknowledged that he has a concealed carry permit for a firearm, but at Wednesday night’s debate, he hinted at how often he packs heat.
“I do carry on occasion -- sometimes a lot,” Trump said. “But I like to be unpredictable.”
Trump was asked at the debate in Boulder, Colorado, hosted by CNBC, if he would feel better if his own employees brought firearms to work.
“Yes, I might feel more comfortable,” the billionaire real estate mogul said. “I would say that I would.”
Trump, who attended the New York Military Academy as a high school student, has also said in the wake of the mass shooting at an Oregon community college earlier this month that he favors arming teachers.
