"Is that a toy gun sir?LelleBelle"
"No, it's a real one."
"OK, on your way."
So might a conversation go at the Republican convention in Cleveland next week, thanks to a set of rules specifying what is and isn't allowed into a defined "event zone" surrounding the event.
SEE ALSO: Trump taps Tim Tebow to speak at Republican conventionWater pistols, BB guns, pellet guns and paintball guns are on a list of numerous items banned from the area outside the Quicken Loans Arena, along with an arsenal of other hardware including swords, sabers, hatchets, axes, nunchucks, maces, hammers, crowbars and pepper spray.
Also banned: light bulbs, canned goods and tennis balls. And containers of bodily fluid.
Guns? They're permitted, because Ohio is an open-carry state and officials can't stop licensed owners from taking their weapons with them. Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson clarified the position at a press conference Wednesday.
"Our intent is to follow the law. And if the law says you can have open carry, that's what it says. Whether I agree with it or not is another issue," he said.
Here are 70 things specifically prohibited from the area, as well as "any other item determined by the [chief of police] or [director of public safety] to be a clear and present danger to the safety of others."
