RNC Convention Open Carry Petition

I agree, everyone should be able to. [More]

That said, my money says this is a ploy by conveniently anonymous antis designed to embarrass the GOP, the candidates and NRA with charges of hypocrisy (and in many cases they would not be wrong). The rhetoric parody is pretty much dead on.

They know they won't have a problem getting gun owners to sign, and the more who do, the more an agenda is served. They also know there's no place in the country big enough to host this where the venue owners would allow it.

It's a pretty clever "Gotcha!" But I'm betting the fake egalitarians behind it don't want open or concealed carry anywhere, unless it's by one of their precious monopoly of violence enforcers.

  1. If the venue mgmt hadn't already barred OC, FBI/DHS/TSA/OSP/and a dozen other entities would have by designating this a 'special security event' a'la the stupor-bowl.

  2. Not to mention the Secret Service eliminating threats against Presidential candidates. Falls under the "that's the stupidest thing I ever heard" category!

  3. Still, the GOP fully deserves this level of embarrassment. Same reason I smile at all the Trump coverage. Signing this petition is a gentler alternative to stocking tar and feathers (or rope).

  4. I think it's a legit issue, I didn't attend the NRA convention in N.C. because they were not allowing concealed carry in the convention center.
