Let’s get ready to rumble (  Reuters) – The New Black Panther Party, a “black power” movement, will carry firearms for self-defense during demonstrations in Cleveland ahead of next week’s Republican convention if allowed under Ohio law, the group’s chairman said.

“If it is an open state to carry, we will exercise our second amendment rights because there are other groups threatening to be there that are threatening to do harm to us,” Hashim  Nzinga, chairman of the New Black Panther Party, told Reuters in an interview.

Ohioâ€s open-carry laws mean that those who legally own guns can take them into the 1.7-square-mile area where many of the events and protests connected to the Republican convention will be held next week.

Beginning Sunday, protesters are expected to flood into the city, with causes ranging from white supremacy to Palestinian rights.
