While in Ireland, as the Candian Ambassador? I doubt it.

He has his concealed carry permit. After he perforated the last guy to make a scene at a ceremony I'm guessing he's carrying.

Depends on the arrangement he may or may not have had with Ireland officials. Dignitaries, other high ranking officials or security can have their permits recognized by other states. Hard to say but it wouldn't surprise me.

I find it difficult to believe that an Ambassador would be carrying a weapon. Its more likely he'd have security somewhere around him, but I doubt he personally would have a gun on him.

Sorry to back up a bit, but how do you know he has a conceal carry permit?

It seems a little embarrassing to me...especially as the guy was so much smaller than him. I think he should have concentrated more on protocol, and left the matter up to the Irish police to address.

I don't entirely disagree, but the assailant was also alot younger & spry than him, so I think it evens out physically. Although I do give the mental edge to Vickers because he's actually killed a man before. It's like one of those Mantis Vs. Black Widow youtube videos you know?

The Irish police looked to be treating this like a front row spectator sport instead of doing their job in a timely fashion.

When you use words like 'perforated' to describe the Parliament Hill shooting, you don't sound unhinged at all..

On social media it became the go to meme for Republicans in the States a year or so ago, and they were made fun of for it's simplicity and their overue of it.

But... it's Doge. It's not a conservative meme at all. It's like the most 4chan thing ever. They even made it into a cryptocurrency. Conservatives and old people don't even know what that is.
