The New Black Panther Party has announced that their members will ‘open carry’ while gathering outside the Republican National Convention next week, for stated self defense, provided that it remains legal for them to do so.
Under Ohio law, protesters who possess gun permits will be allowed to carry weapons openly in the downtown area during the convention, though ironically, squirt guns are banned. Many groups supportive of presumed Republican nominee Donald Trump have also stated their intention to attend the event openly armed.
“If it is an open state to carry, we will exercise our second amendment rights because there are other groups threatening to be there that are threatening to do harm to us,” Hashim Nzinga, chairman of the New Black Panther Party, told Reuters.
“If that state allows us to bear arms, the Panthers, and the others who can legally bear arms, will bear arms.”
