MILWAUKEE, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — Democratic Governor Tony Evers is asking the U.S. Secret Service to ban guns in a wider area around this week’s Republican National Convention.
The request follows the weekend assassination attempt at a rally for Former President Donald Trump.
State law restricts local gun bans, and people will only be checked for weapons inside a security zone around Fiserv Forum.
Evers says expanding the weapon checks will keep people safer in the outer security zone where many rallies and protests are planned.
