Carry Prohibited locations

[oldman45]

I was at a meeting at the Shreveport Police Station today. Part of the discussion was about the Red River Revel that starts this weekend and the LA State Fair that starts three weeks.

Guns are forbidden at either of the events. Police will be looking for anyone carrying concealed or openly.

There is nothing in the law that says one cannot carry at these events and there are no signs posted showing carry is forbidden. Yet the rules of the locations say that carry is forbidden

Just wanted to let people know in case they are headed out to one of the events.

That might be the key to it all . Who owns the property ?

Sorry but if signs aren't posted and it's not a prohibited location (school grounds) then you can carry there. The Shreveport police can say whatever they want but the CCW rules are clear.

The City owns some of the property and the rest is owned by a private investing group and rented by the City as well as others.

You may be correct. However, they will be making arrests.

Their Code of Conduct says no firearms even with a permit. There is nothing in the State laws forbidding weapons.

Well, if you read this and now know that they are not allowed there, an you still carry, then you knowingly broke the law. If you didn't know any better, you might have a case if they don't plainly mark no firearms in an otherwise legal to carry location.

Concealed means concealed.

 

[aroundlsu]

It's highly unlikely they would arrest a licensed concealed carry permit holder who was otherwise doing nothing wrong. At most they would ask him to leave. But like its written above, concealed means concealed. If you see them doing wands or pat downs as you enter just turn around.

Concealed means concealed.

Metal Detectors mean Metal Detectors

Tyranny means tyranny.

Tyranny means tyranny.

Agreed. I would like to see a highly public boycott organized. I would also love to see Glover questioned on his membership of Bloombergs anti-freedom "Mayors against illegal guns" coalition. Right before his next election time.........

The State Fair meant corn dogs, cotton candy, and riding the bump cars when I got old enough.

A couple of bucks could get me thru the day.

You and I came up at the same time. Now it cost a fellow about $15 before he gets out of his car. As a young kid going there, I would sneak into Club Lido and watch the women. Now they have a fair about half the size, stays twice as long and charges four times as much and there are no girly shows but where I used to be too young for them, now I am too old for them.

I think they started charging when I was in college in the late fifties.

I remember the show as Harlem in Havana. The late show was topless.

We got a day off from school but never went that day as it was so crowded with kids. The black schools got a day off on the State Fair black day. No integration then.

The fair was the only time we got corn dogs and cotton candy. We enjoyed the exhibits, too, esp livestock. There was also a great model train in one of the halls.

Thanks for bringing back the memories.

That train is still around. Best layout I have ever seen for a model train. Until our antique car museum closed last year, the train was set up inside the museum when not at the fair. Now we got way too many multi millionnaires and billionnaires in Shreveport that compete with their hobbies on exhibit at various venues.

There's a good solution to this... Don't go to the [un]fair.

Can you carry at a wedding reception in a rented hall? Got a friend getting married and was wondering how the law worked since they will have drinking.
