USA – -(Ammoland.com)- The Cleveland Police union boss has made an emergency request to suspend open carry for the duration of the Republican convention inside parts of the City of Cleveland.
“We are sending a letter to Gov. Kasich requesting assistance from him. He could very easily do some kind of executive order or something — I don’t care if it’s constitutional or not at this point,” Cleveland Police Union president Stephen Loomis told CNN.
Once more powers that be want to target honest gun owners, if the police union boss really does not care about our rights, why doesn’t he want to suspend the right to free speech and shut down all the protesters.
If it is really about safety, why target law abiding gun owners, why not everyone. Bad people don’t follow laws and anyone that wants to kill cops or shoot conservatives will not follow an order that suspend our rights and they will bring guns no matter what. This requests would only effect people that follow the law in the first place.
Ohio’s open carry laws allow anyone without a felony record to carry guns in the state, including in downtown Cleveland, but not inside the U.S. Secret Service security zone around Quicken Loans Arena, where the RNC will be held Monday through Thursday.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich responded saying that Ohio governors don’t have the power to arbitrarily suspend federal and state constitutional rights or laws.
Can he governor fire this clown? Likely not, but how about the mayor?
I feel for the guy, though I cannot quite reach him. Otherwise, now and then I too have the odd wet dream of power, dreams that remain unfullfilled.
GOOD MAN… About time a politician does what he thinks and knows is ryte instead of just doing whatever they think they can get away with … AWESOME ALL OTHER POLITICIANS SHOULD TAKE NOT OF WHAT OHIO’S GOOD MAN IS SAYING AND DOING!!!
Loomis says he was born in Milwaukee but was born in Toledo. The man is sick and needs to go on down the road. 95%patrol officer Union despise this fool.
Note to Mr Loomis:
There are a bunch of things I too “wish” for. Poor me, I do not get them either. MEanwhile, the convention has been held, and in so far as I know, there was no discharge of weapons by anyone.
So if someone grabbed him and threw him in a cell, it should be ok since he doesn’t care about constitutional rights.
