BREAKING: New Black Panther Party will carry arms during protests at U.S. Republican National Convention if legal - group chairman

[Buckeye McFrog]

Dang, wish I knew that. Would make me a whole lot safer when I visit family in Toledo.

[Darnright]

The GOP made such a brilliant choice of location this time around. What were they thinking??

[nevergore]

First....I welcome them with open carry....as long as they are both legally allowed and they conduct themselves accordingly....(plus it has the other benefit of you don’t need to guess)

It is a two way street if you support open carry which I do....

Second, The number of LEO snipers should be through the roof (pun intended) so if a tango is present, he’s taken down quickly....

The anarchists are the ones you need to worry about.....

Anyone else find it funny that anarchists are organizing and setting structure? I never knew that “Anarchist’s Unite” would ever be a rally cry....LOL

[KittyKares]

They probably thought Jeb Bush would be the nominee.

"The Secret Service will have their hands full in Cleveland -— better bulk up on reinforcements."

Yes, just like in Bengazi!

If a few cops get killed...(all together, kiddies)...

What difference, at this point, does it make!?

[Mariner]

Open carry in Cleveland, OH?

[ManHunter]

So who do you think can shoot better, us or them?

[justa-hairyape]

Why are they even there ? Are they registered Republicans ?

[RummyChick]

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_Ohio#Open_carry:

Ohio is a traditional open-carry state. The open-carry of firearms by those who legally possess the firearm is a legal activity in Ohio with or without a license.

This “day of rage” apparently is just a myth: http://www.snopes.com/2016/07/11/anonymous-day-of-rage-protests-2016/

Is open carry permitted in Cleveland? It isn’t Texas.

What Texas are you talking about?

The Texas I live in it is legal to open carry a long gun and open carry a side arm with a permit.

[eartick]

No, it isn't. In Texas, you need a permit to open carry. Lol.

Not a long gun. You can carry a long gun all day long without a permit.

[Califreak]

Myth or not the crazies are out there and probably will be trying to shut down freeways and such.

I agree, and I agree it's a 2 way street. I'm surprised most here their feathers ruffled, which is exactly what they want.

Let them open carry, and let them see their enemies are not Trump supporters, but the globalists who shipped their jobs overseas, and enslaved their people with generational welfare, and a dumbed down educational system.

[Freedom56v2]

Could the municipality declare the area no open carry for the duration of the convention?

My concern is that it will be impossible for LE to know who is lawfully able to open carry and who is not...

Perfect storm for problems IMHO

"Probably ALL but you'll have to figure out what their real names are to find out what they were in for."

That's not a problem if their fingers are still attached- might take a while, though.

[JimRed]

The Secret Service will have their hands full in Cleveland

At least they'll have the satisfaction of working to protect someone who respects them

[JimRed]

My general rule is, if I need to be carrying a rifle to be safe somewhere, I need to get somewhere else quickly.

Smart!

Anyone have a car horn that sounds like a gunshot?.
