Those "thugs" had permission (oh knows why) in Sacto, but they won't have it there..
What makes you say that?
Trump delegates are planning to carry guns during the convention, BTW.
As the Republican convention in Cleveland approaches, several delegates who support Donald Trump say they are planning on bringing their guns with them to the GOP gathering.
Why? They say they are worried about protest and an attack from ISIS.
James Klein, a Trump delegate, has decided to come armed to Cleveland, and he has urged his fellow delegates to do the same. "We're talking about ISIS," he remarks, citing the recent shooting in Orlando and the bombings at the Istanbul airport. Referring to protesters outside Trump rallies, he adds, "We're talking about people who have shown a propensity for violence."
"There are a whole bunch of things happening: You go to various events, receptions, whatever," says Ash Khare, a delegate from the who applied for a concealed carry permit in preparation for Cleveland. "And you know, people know that you are a delegate, and who knows what the crazy people are going to do? So you've got to be vigilant about what's going on and prepare yourself."
Marc Scaringi, another Trump delegate, says that during the past few weeks there have been many emails exchanged among delegates discussing whether to bring weapons to Cleveland.
A lifelong member of the NRA who carries a gun every day, Klein notes he is particularly concerned about the threat of international terrorism. "I'm not a terrorist, okay, but I would think that if I were an ISIS guy that I might want to attack the Republican National Convention," he says.
Klein continues: "People will attack you at your weakest, at your softest." That is, he explains, where police and Secret Service officers are unlikely to stop an attack.
Khare expects to receive his concealed carry permit in a few days. Then he plans to buy a gun. But he stresses that having a weapon is not about stirring up trouble: "This is just in case you get into a situation where you can make a difference."
Scaringi also points to the violence that occurred at a Trump event in San Jose, California, in early June. Anti-Trump protesters punched the candidate's supporters, jumped on cars, and threw eggs at a female Trump supporter. "I think this is going to be the most riotous political convention since 1968, and maybe even more so," he predicts. "In addition to just your average political protester, you're going to get serious people here who want to do harm and want to create mayhem."
