Tennis balls bounced from Cleveland 'event zone' -- but not guns

Tennis balls bounced from Cleveland 'event zone' -- but not guns

(CNN)Slingshots, sledgehammers, rockets and ... tennis balls?

The city of Cleveland has explicitly banned at least 72 kinds of weapons, gadgets and assorted hardware from the 1.7 square-mile "event zone" surrounding next week's Republican National Convention.

Not on its extensive list: Guns.

Ohio is an open-carry state, so local officials said they cannot prevent licensed gun owners from carrying their weapons around the external security perimeter.

What are they going to do if a light bulb burns out, since light bulbs are on the banned list?
