Because what could possibly go wrong?
Via CBS News.
The New Black Panther Party, a “black power” organization, plans to attend demonstrations in Cleveland ahead of the Republican National Convention, and members plan to bring their firearms.
Hashim Nzinga, chairman of the New Black Panther Party, told Reuters in an interview on Tuesday that the group planned on exercising its Second Amendment rights in Ohio, an open-carry state, because “there are other groups threatening to be there that are threatening to do harm to us.”….
Cleveland.com points out that there is a designated “event zone” outside the Quicken Loans arena where the convention will be held. This outer zone is essentially downtown Cleveland, and open-carry laws will apply here. The arena, however, is part of an inner security perimeter that is controlled by the U.S. Secret Service, which will prohibit guns on the floor of the convention.

I can’t see a single thing that could go wrong with this plan. Not a single thing. Do they realize we have the second amendment to allow us to defend from a tyrannical govt, not to give you permission to show up looking for trouble?
As a staunch supporter of gun rights, I always believed that open carrying of guns is a deliberate and provocative stunt in most cases. What would most of these non – police gun carriers do when something overt happened? They mostly likely shoot someone but not the bad guy. The black panthers are looking for an excuse to kill white people, in my opinion.
