Now if they removed their ban, and the feds or RNC insisted it still be a gun restricted area, then that would be a different story.
True....but the point here is that given the RNC (as lap dogs to the NRA) stance SHOULD request from the venue the right to openly carry weapons.
It's a tough position. We've seen all the problems and violence the Democrats have caused just in the primaries. Think of how many problems liberals are going to start at the convention. More than likely they will be bussing in trouble makers and the SS doesn't want to see people getting killed.
We have very favorable laws in our state for the armed victims of an attack. Our law reads:
"A CCW holder can use deadly force if they believe that they (or others) are in jeopardy of serious bodily harm or death."
The law is in our favor because for one, there is no legal definition of what
serious bodily harm is. Two is that if I shoot and kill somebody, nobody can really prove what I believed at the time. To prosecute a case against a licensed shooter, the prosecutor would have to be able to prove both.
The way our laws are written (in favor of the shooter) there is a greater chance of a legally armed citizen defending themselves against these violent thugs than in other states that have weaker laws for a shooter.
