"RNC 2024 Kicks Off Amid Trump VP Pick and Firearms Debate"

Despite an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, firearms will still be allowed in the outer security perimeter of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, as state law permits open and concealed carry. Local officials' attempts to ban guns in this area were unsuccessful due to state regulations. The U.S. Secret Service confirmed no changes to the security plan, although other items like paintball guns, drones, and tennis balls are prohibited. The RNC will proceed as planned, with Trump expected to be formally named the party’s presidential nominee.
