I just talked to someone who has been going for years. He carries every time he goes. He said they just check bags and things. He also said there is no offcial signs reguarding permit carry. All he has seen is "weapons are prohibited". The website doesn't reference law either. It sounds m...

Skiprr, I respect those arguments, and you stated them very well. I'm simply not convinced they will carry the legal weight needed to allow an LTC to carry onto the premises. I would be in agreement with you if the City were the actor, but that's not the case here. I simply do not see anything in th...

Either way, thanks for your valuable input.

Yes sir, I like all of the Bill of Rights.

Yep that's what I expected. You can't be prosecuted if you sneak in with your CCW, but if they physically prevent you from entering there's nothing you can do.

Public outdoor areas like walkways and open areas in parks (non-buildings) are not "premises" under 46.035, so you can not make them a 51% "premises" to ban carry. They can't ban carry with 30.06/7 and wands since it's a public park, but as you point out, that doesn't mean they ...
