Is there a better example of how open carry law serves as a detriment to would be shooters than the recent success of the GOP Convention in Cleveland, Ohio? I’d say not.

Present were a lot of radicals up to causing trouble for the proceedings including an in your face ‘armed to the teeth’ vigilant New Black Panther Group. So concerned about possibilities becoming probabilities, Stephen Loomis, the president of the Cleveland Police Patrolman’s Association, sent a letter to Ohio Governor John Kasich asking him to restrict Ohio’s “open carry” law for Cuyahoga County for a week. Among Loomis’s comments were: “Somebody’s got to do something. What we have now is completely irresponsible.”

Of course, helping this fine outcome was the awesome contingency preparedness established by a consortium of law enforcement and other government agencies. America should be proud of Cleveland, Ohio planning and implementation of securing a successful national event under the scrutiny of high profile international news coverage.

SHOOTERS BEWARE IN IDAHO

It’s pretty obvious that shooters really hate the thought of ‘visibly packing others’ could shoot back. And even worse for them, is not knowing who is legally carrying ‘concealed.’ Here in Idaho it could drive would be shooters nuts wondering about concealed carrying citizens because our citizens no longer even need a permit to legally carry concealed. ‘Permitless concealed carry’ can literally be everywhere. What a state! Thank you Idaho legislators and Governor Otter.

Special kudos should go to Greg Pruett of the Idaho Second Amendment Alliance who doggedly spearheaded a movement around the state by traveling all over Idaho speaking to gatherings of concerned patriots and affecting such influence through them and their joint efforts with our legislators to reap an overwhelming congressional vote pressuring Governor Otter to sign it into law.
