It doesnt matter to me if it was done by George Soros or George Costanza. The irony here is that many at this convention have the 2nd amendment as a platform, and the NRA is a huge supporter, But, point being, too many times Ive heard ..well if there was a good guy present with a gun, the bad guy wouldnt have tried anything,or his damage would be less. Ive heard Trump say more than once, including someone packing in a bar wouldve reduced the carnage at Pulse. But now when the shoe is on their foot. legal or not...or with a petition,amendment,etc made to pack at the convention..these proponents of pack square n fair have reservations of allowing it. 

Its insane to allow it, and I'll agree that open carry is not a good idea. It asks for trouble in cases like Cleveland where there are some unsavory characters protesting. 

I guess what Im trying to say is, so many on the stage tout the right to bear arms,etc...but its a faux pas to do it in their presence. The law is the law, but obviously addendums have to be put in place, like sure you can pack...but not in social gatherings??  

 

 

Where it's different at a political convention is that no civilian is going to be allowed to have a firearm present period.  That goes for both parties and is common at many political gatherings, especially if there are a lot of political dignitaries present.  It's not the candidates or politicians that won't allow it, it's the Secret Service.

 

I remember going to see Bush at then Alltel Stadium.  There were metal detectors and scanners, and at the time I had to turn on my digital camera to prove that it actually was a camera.

 

Put it this way.  Weapons aren't allowed in a courthouse.
