    I want to know how being around guns is supposed to work with the Secret Service. Had a buddy go back in because his parole officer made a surprise visit and, unknown to him, his buddy had stuck a pistol in the sofa. Straight back to prison.

    I’m sure the judge can make an exception, unless that sort of thing is a statute?

      I imagine the drug being in someone else’s physical possession makes a difference. People (thankfully and reasonably) aren’t charged for guns the police have in their possession during their arrest, for example.

      Hopefully the secret service aren’t stashing their guns between the sofa cushions.

      It’s probably not too different from if your buddy has gone into a police station to report a crime. He shouldn’t have his parole violated for being near the guns that the police are carrying.
