Remember, we’re not talking about what’s allowed inside the convention hall itself, where security will be very tight for obvious reasons. Those who attend the convention will not be allowed to carry firearms. Rather, this is about what’s permitted outside the venue, where various groups, protesters, and observers will have their say. Those folks will be able to carry loaded guns, but won’t be able to carry toy guns. Tennis balls are out, but bullets are fine.

By all appearances, Cleveland officials would prefer a more sensible policy, but state law won’t allow it.
