More than 20,000 people have signed a petition to allow the open carry of firearms at the Republican National Convention this July.
The convention site does not currently allow "firearms and other weapons of any kind, including pepper spray, pocket knives and/or blades of any kind" on the premises, though Ohio is one of 31 states that allows the open carry of firearms without a permit or license.
The petition declares that such a policy is "a direct affront to the Second Amendment and puts all attendees at risk."
The petition was launched Monday, March 21 with a goal of 5,000 signatures, which it reached by Thursday. As of Saturday afternoon that number had grown to over 22,000.
