The delegates at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee have expressed a range of concerns and expectations regarding their safety. Some delegates, like Derek Babcock from Louisiana, have taken precautions by contacting local police and private security companies to enhance security at their hotel, despite feeling safe within the convention's secure zone. Others, such as Suzanne White from Baton Rouge, have not sensed much fear among attendees, instead noting a sense of resolve.

Stephanie Soucek from Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, mentioned that the increased police presence on the streets has helped alleviate her concerns, while Steve Zipperman from Arizona entered the convention with a feeling of uncertainty, hoping for a peaceful event and expecting tighter security in response to the shooting.

Overall, while some delegates are cautious and have taken additional steps to ensure their safety, many are confident in the security measures provided by law enforcement and are not overly fearful. The convention's security plan, which includes a ban on guns for the general public in and near the Fiserv Forum, and the presence of various law enforcement agencies, including the U.S. Capitol Police, has helped to reassure attendees that their safety is a priority.
