[TexasTowelie]

CLEVELAND, Ohio — The chairman of the New Black Panthers Party said members will carry guns this week during protests and demonstrations in the run-up to the Republican National Convention, according to a report from Reuters.

Hashim Nzinga said his members will carry guns in self-defense and to protect other protesters, the news agency reported.

"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," Nzinga told Reuters.

"If that state allows us to bear arms, the Panthers and the others who can legally bear arms will bear arms."
