Someone in Cleveland is saying that anyone carrying firearms in the vicinity of the Trump Convention Center should be arrested."There's no reason to bring firearms to the convention". Agree/dis/why?

Like there is a reason to bring them anywhere period.

and what is up with this "someone in Cleveland said" absurdness?

But...aren't people just "exercising their 2nd Amendment rights" ? I'm surprised THEY don't support that and encourage everyone to be armed. How puzzling.

Hello Rosie:

Couple things...  Right wingers want people to carry - just NOT in their city..  Secondly, I don't know what the hell "vicinity" means..  If you can open carry, then you can open carry.

excon

Agree. because the police need to have a hands up on possible trouble makers are.

Well the banned items  (you know like tennis balls and water pistols) cannot be within a mile and half of the Trump Convention Center excon. So I am assuming that is what  is meant by "not in the vicinity". Thank you for your reply and Happy Tuesday! :)

I couldn't agree with you more cg. Thank you for telling it like it is and Happy Tuesday! :)

 It's very confusing to me too bijoux. I guess we will find out what is what soon enough. Yesterday was the first day of the Trump Convention and I think that the last day  is Thursday. So depending on what happens and how it is handled we will get our answer! Thank you for your reply and Happy Tuesday! :)

I think the potential for violence is mainly what is keeping some Republicans away from Cleveland. I don't blame them. Thank you for your reply IK!  :)

Thank you for showing up Sharonna.
