This is an idiotic idea.
The single, sole, all important overriding purpose of the convention is to nominate a candidate who will defeat Hillary or whomever in November. It is not a showplace for guns or even the ego-driven exercise of rights.
Remember, we do not decide elections. Nor do the hard left. Elections are decided by the middle 12- 18 of voters who swing either way.
Anyone who would want open carry is already voting NOT voting for Hillary. It would get us no additional votes.
Worse, it would scare the middle-ground swing voters. They may not be anti-gun, but open carry is frightening to them. Let’s not scare them off.
PS, no I do not work for the government, nor do I trust ALL the people.
Do you want radical jihadists in the streets near the Convention exercising their “constitutional rights?”
>>Elections are decided by the middle 12- 18 of voters who swing either way.
In other words, our leadership is determined by the stupidest people in our nation who are still trying to decide if they want the R or the D.
I went on the GOP site and tried to vote for Donald Trump on the straw poll. It kept saying they had an error. After many tries, I decided to just put Kasich’s name ~ just to see what would happen ~ and I got through immediately and got my “special prize!!!!” I’m getting a little frustrated with my “folks.”
I think it is the uncontrolled street that is prompting this.
