Trump campaign denies former President bought a glock with his face on

The Trump campaign has backtracked on a claim the former president bought a handgun embellished with his face and name during a stop in South Carolina, as it was claimed such a move could have broken the law.

Staff working for the 77-year-old initially said he had bought the 9mm Glock pistol, said to be priced at $829, at a gun store in Columbia, South Carolina, and posted a photograph of him with the gun.

The handgun was a special “Trump edition” that featured his image on the handle and the words “Trump 45” on the chamber.
