From a blog on ABC News, Amy Bingham writes that water guns are banned but handguns are allowed at the GOP convention. I had no plans to attend, but now it does sound inviting. While no guns will be allowed inside the convention, concealed carry license-holders will be allowed to carry their weapons on the streets surrounding the convention.
Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn has wanted to ban guns from downtown during the August event, but did say he was less concerned with license-holders than some that may have guns and try to create mayhem.
Local police and the Secret Service will be out in force of 4,000 to control any security problems. So, all this sounds like is another strike at pro-gun folks.
I am not going. However, if they decide to have hard liquor and handgun night, I will reconsider.
