If Alexander Hamilton wanted to visit the church where he’s buried today, he’d have to leave his pistol at home.
Historic Trinity Church and St. Paul’s Chapel have installed metal detectors at their entrances, citing terrorism fears.
“It’s a sign of the times, unfortunately,” said Marc Pacheco, a tourist from Albuquerque who was visiting Trinity on Wednesday. “I’m sad that we have to have it, but it’s probably necessary.”
Donna Gebers, a tourist from Brentwood, CA, quipped Hamilton is probably “turning in his grave” over the sorry state of the country he helped found.
No argument from me there.
