"Is that a toy gun sir?Mystery Archives"
"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.

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."
