4. That's not even considering the possibility that Trump supporters will be armed!

There's actually a petition to allow 'open carry' in the Quicken Loans Arena during the NRA - errr, RNC Convention. I'm half-convinced it's a sick attempt at satire; and I'm really certain it won't change the Quicken Loans Arena policy against firearms.

But, I'm also reasonably certain that Trump followers marching outside will do open carry, and Trump followers inside the arena will probably have their guns in their cars.

Anyone know the lethal range of a 5.56 mm round (Caliber for the AR-15 / M16 assault rifle)?
