There is a petition online which has NRA support to insist that the GOP convention in Cleveland this summer allow open carry. Ohio is an open carry state. The Quicken arena has a no guns policy but as the petition explains, your second amendment rights can not be denied by the Quicken corporation. Given the level of discord in the party, is it really a good idea to have open carry? Or does it make it more necessary as the petition argues for each attendee to have the right to defend him or herself? Sign the petition

From the petition:
This is a direct affront to the Second Amendment and puts all attendees at risk. As the National Rifle Association has made clear, "gun-free zones" such as the Quicken Loans Arena are "the worst and most dangerous of all lies." The NRA, our leading defender of gun rights, has also correctly pointed out that "gun free zones... tell every insane killer in America... (the) safest place to inflict maximum mayhem with minimum risk." (March 4, 2016 and Dec. 21, 2012)

Cleveland, Ohio is consistently ranked as one of the top ten most dangerous cities in America. By forcing attendees to leave their firearms at home, the RNC and Quicken Loans Arena are putting tens of thousands of people at risk both inside and outside of the convention site.
