Concealed Carry at Merriweather pavilion

[Jpaul97]

Are CCW holders allowed to conceal carry at Merriweather? On the list of prohibited items it says firearms but I don’t know if that holds weight to CCW. Haven’t been there in a long time so I don’t know if they pat you down, or have metal detectors. The police are bound to be there, which would probably complicate an entrance refusal from a security guard who’s feeling the “authority” they have.

Has anyone had experience there?

Their prohibited firearms policy has no legal ramifications, at least not until the new laws take effect. All they could do is ask you to leave and trespass you if you refuse.

It's been several years since I've been there but they didn't have metal detectors or anything last time I was there. I would just carry there and if they have metal detectors put it in a lock box secured in your vehicle. They do have Police and security actively patrol the parking lots so I wouldnt worry to much about theft.

I was there earlier this month. They have those OpenGate poles, or something similar. My keys and cellphone set it off. I think I'd leave it in the car just to avoid the hassle. I'm not confident the kids working the gates would have a calm and reasonable reaction to a legal CCW.

I was there twice this month for concerts. They poke in your bags for liquids primarily but there are metal detectors. Not likely to let a weapon get through CCW permit or not.

Doesn’t matter if you have a permit or not. If they find something they don’t like they ask you take it back to wherever you came from or throw it away. My steel toe boots set off the alarm but they never check them.

Carrying in a crowded venue like that is one thing, being able to take shots with people running around an enclosed venue is another.

What if it is for the greater good?

Then some were meant to be sacrificed.

I go to Merriweather quite often and I would say no, the "Security" walking around are off duty HCP and they are not armed. You can pick them out very easy by the way they are dressed and the wire in their ear is a dead giveaway.

Doesn’t Concealed mean Concealed? Remember “don’t ask don’t tell”? Same as Don’t show!

They have metal detectors and HCP in uniform are only a stones throw away

 

[Blaster229]

Look at it this way. If you think it's easy for a bad guy to get a gun in there, then you'd have no problem, right?

 

[44 Bulldog]

I'm sure right now they would just make you go put your firearm in the car, not sure what would happen after Oct. 1

HCP patrols outside the gates at Merriweather, they will go inside if need be or asked to by Merriweather. Patrol officers and SWAT guys picking up OT

They won't try that in a small town, I'd bet.

No protestors seen around the perimeter.

Not enough cowgirl boots and shorts. And many of those with that combo need some proper back-filling.

I never heard of Jason Aldean til last week I don't listen to country music at all but someone told me today that Jason gave in to the left and apologized.

The OP's prediction of a mass shooting didn't come to fruition.
