No guns allowed for GOP convention
The Secret Service says people attending the Republican National Convention in Cleveland this July will not be allowed to carry guns. The statement comes in response to a petition that calls for allowing open carry of guns inside Quicken Loans Arena, the host venue. The petition has amassed more than 43,000 signatures as of Monday morning. Secret Service spokesman Robert Hoback said in a statement that “only authorized law enforcement personnel” working with the agency will be allowed to carry firearms inside protected areas/The Hill.

Question: Don’t delegates have a 2nd amendment right to carry guns onto the Republican National Convention floor? Are we dealing with a double standard here? Thoughts?
