Quote:Just saw where either the Governor or Mayor is requesting temp suspension of open carry during the convention. Dont think it will be granted though. 

 

Neither can do anything about it.  Kasich has already said that he can't just arbitrarily suspend rights provided in the Ohio or US Constitution. 

 

Quote:We should just have an "open carry" zone outside. 

 

The areas outside of the arena off the property are open carry.  People were complaining about this yesterday when a protester showed up with a long rifle slung over his shoulder. 

 

As Marty already pointed out, this is a tinderbox waiting to ignite.  Soros funded protesters have already made it clear that they intend to disrupt the convention by any means possible.  With the current wave of attacks on law enforcement around the country, this puts them at additional risk.  It wouldn't surprise me one bit to see half the police force in Cleveland call in sick with the blue flu this week. 

 

Quote:No, more like a "Free Speech" zone where they can be free to exercise their rights.

 

 

Some folks wish it was that small, but the cordoned off areas for organized protesters is a tad bigger than that.  Protesters will actually have pretty good access to the arena in comparison to the DNC convention later this month where anti-wall Clinton's convention will have a huge perimeter fence around the area keeping protesters out of earshot.  She didn't want any of Bernie's fans causing problems for her coronation.
