I feel like a riot is the least of the worries, if Trump got killed. And you're right that people are probably more likely to be calm at the actual event, largely through shock but also because these events probably aren't attracting the extremists.

What I'd be more worried about is the aftermath, the political fallout that would engulf the country. I think Trump being assassinated would turn him into a martyr and radicalise a lot of people who currently aren't all that radical. This is an armed country we're talking about, and Trump's supporters tend to also support gun rights and own guns.
