The Secret Service plans to stop any plans to allow guns at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, 12News reports.
The Secret Service made its position clear after a petition with 45,000 signatures demanded that Quicken Loans Arena, end its ban on possessing firearms.
“This is a direct affront to the Second Amendment and puts all attendees at risk,” the petition states.
The Secret Service responded that only law enforcement will be permitted to posses guns inside the event.
“Individuals determined to be carrying firearms will not be allowed past a predetermined outer perimeter checkpoint, regardless of whether they possess a ticket to the event,” Secret Service spokesman Robert Hoback told the Hill.
GOP frontrunner said he plan to read the petition before making a position on the ban.
“I want to see what it says. I want to read the fine print,” said Trump, who reiterated that he is “a very, very strong person for Second Amendment.”
