Breaking: Idaho Independence Day Parade in Boise Rescinds the Ban on Open Carry for Participants
Idaho Dispatch ^ | June 29, 2023 | Sarah Clendenon

The Idaho 4th of July Parade Live from Boise has rescinded an addendum to the parade entry rules that was sent to participants yesterday.

Idaho Dispatch broke the story late last night that an email had been sent to all parade participants with an attachment that contained an addendum. The addendum said that participants were not allowed to open carry firearms or weapons in the parade. The email instructed the representative of the entry to agree and sign the addendum and return the form via email.

Comments on the Idaho Dispatch article started immediately, and intensified this morning. The We The People 4th of July Celebration Committee, Inc who has organized the parade also began receiving feedback through their website, Idaho 4th of July Parade from Boise (boise4th.com)

Todd Christensen, the Board President of We The People 4th of July Celebration Committee, Inc. sent this statement to the Idaho Dispatch today, which rescinds the addendum:

“We’ve received valuable feedback regarding the addendum to prohibit open carry by parade entries. We The People 4th of July Celebration Committee, Inc. thank all those who shared their concerns. After careful review, we rescind this addendum. We look forward to a safe and enjoyable Independence Day celebration. This is a great opportunity for our community to come together to celebrate our Nation’s birthday.”

Additionally, this document rescinding the addendum was sent to all parade participants just moments ago...

They likely can’t afford to litigate and don’t want to pay for all the LE needed to police a disarmed crowd.

A good thing. I always worry about parades after the Waukesha, parade.

Would make for a good headline in any American parade in any American town.

This following nationwide parades with naked gaybos on bikes is refreshing.

I would like to carry my Springfield 1903 or my M1 Garand in a parade.

Glad they backed off. We will be in Virginia City NV for the parade tomorrow and I KNOW there will be plenty of open carry in that parade. Then we’ll rock the folks at the Red Dog Saloon right after. May even strap on a revolver my self. 😁👍
