The gunshot triggered panic amongst the Secret Service agents. Barletta tried calming them down, but his word choice only made things worse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was trying to tell them that it\u2019s the President doing the shooting, everything\u2019s OK, but it didn\u2019t come out that way, and it just caused more excitement,\u201d said Barletta. \u201cHis codename was Rawhide. And I said, \u2018Rawhide shot.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eventually everyone figured out that the President had not been shot, but was the one doing the shooting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI supposed I should have told you was going to do that, huh?\u201d President Reagan said to Barletta.<\/p>\n<p>According to Barletta, President Reagan enjoyed his little getaway ranch and the two often rode horses together.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can ask anybody who rides a lot,\u201d said Barletta. \u201cYou throw a leg over a horse, and it\u2019s like the tension just flow right out of the tip of your boot. You\u2019re at peace. At least I am, and he was. He definitely was. He would mount up and he would go \u2018Ahh\u2019 and sigh like, \u2018This is home.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After President Reagan discharged a firearm unannounced, the Secret Service took possession of the Commander in Chief\u2019s guns. But the heron who was eating President Reagan\u2019s fish? He never returned again.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the full story on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/interactive\/2015\/09\/politics\/ronald-reagan-ranch-history\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"secret-service-agent-reveals-how-president-reagan-lost-his-guns\" title=\"Secret Service Agent Reveals How President Reagan Lost His Guns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>(<em>This article was a submission by freelance writer Brent Rogers<\/em>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Ronald Reagan was a good ol\u2019 boy who enjoyed packing heat around his property, but after discharging his weapon to scare away a heron one day, the Secret Service decided they better hold onto his guns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":42803,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,326,25,241,240],"tags":[132],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-42802","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-brent","9":"category-current-events","10":"category-rapid-fire","11":"category-this-week","12":"tag-buzz"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Secret Service Agent Reveals How President Reagan Lost His Guns<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"\u201cI supposed I should have told you was going to do that, huh?\u201d President Reagan said to Barletta.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/secret-service-agent-reveals-how-president-reagan-lost-his-guns\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Secret Service Agent Reveals How President Reagan Lost His Guns\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"President Ronald Reagan was a good ol\u2019 boy who enjoyed packing heat around his property, but after discharging his weapon to scare away a heron one day, the Secret Service decided they better hold onto his guns.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/secret-service-agent-reveals-how-president-reagan-lost-his-guns\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2015-09-13T12:24:55+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-19T00:59:40+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/ReaganGuns.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
