Trump didn’t answer, but said “gun-free zones” have made such areas “target practice for the sickos and for the mentally ill”.

For those wondering whether they can bring their guns with them to the Trump-branded hotels and golf courses that dot the United States’ classier corners, Donald Trump may have only added to their uncertainty during Wednesday’s Republican debate.
In case you needed another reason to be nervous about Donald Trump, the real estate mogul and presidential candidate has apparently been toting guns around New York City.
His statements on gun free zones came in response to a question from debate moderator Carl Quintanilla, regarding the fact that part of Trump’s reaction to the Umpqua Community College attack was to point out that the college was a gun free zone. “I respect the Mexican leaders, but their leaders are much sharper, much smarter and more cunning than our leader”.
“I do carry on occasion – sometimes a lot”, Trump said. “I would say that I would”. “They look around for gun free zones”.

And a 2014 analysis by a gun control group of 110 mass shooting incidents between January 2009 and July 2014 found that only 14 percent of those shootings took place in a so-called “gun-free” zone. They’re a feeding frenzy for sick people. Trump then dropped in a semi-unrelated comment about how it’s good to keep ISIS on its toes (possibly with guns as well). “It got me here”, Trump told Kernen in the post-debate spin room.
