Guns not on list of banned items allowed inside 'soft perimeter' at RNC

At the Republican National Convention, guns are one item that will be allowed inside the “soft perimeter” surrounding the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, where delegates and officials are congregating.

Gov. Tony Evers (D-WI) tried to ask law enforcement to keep guns out of the zone, but his request was shot down because Wisconsin state laws allow individuals to carry firearms openly and conceal-carry with a permit within the “soft perimeter,” which surrounds the inner “hard perimeter” patrolled by the Secret Service.
