New Hampshire House Speaker Shawn Jasper has invited all major presidential candidates to speak to the legislative body ahead of the primary on Feb. 9, but he tells the Secret Service that House members will not be leaving their guns behind.
\nWhile only three presidential hopefuls have Secret Service protection details, Jasper\u2019s office has preemptively told the federal agency that if those candidates do visit, the House doesn\u2019t plan to suspend its rule allowing members to carry concealed guns on the floor, which violates Secret Service security protocols.
