No "weapons" at MD BBQ Bash in Bel Air this weekend

[Art3]

No firearms for permit holders and not even pocket knives...but they'll provide axes for you to throw...

Honestly, I probably hadn't planned on going anyway...but this makes it an even easier pass. I'll probably go to Mission for lunch on Saturday

I can't seem to share the actual posts, but they can be found here:

I went to that a couple times and wasn't very impressed. Crowded, long lines and mediocre barbeque.

Good test of your concealment ability. Unless they have a metal detector or ID check.

Do Facebook posts have force of law?

I mean I'm not going but now I kind of want to

Patronizing ass Bel Air PD. All they do is stalk Looneys for drunks and write cheap traffic tickets. I wouldn't want to depend on any of them in a pinch.

Same with Aberdeen. Our SRO was a frail old woman who you could've knocked over with a stiff wind.

They said they would be "screening checks at entrances" I didn't realize there were "entrances." I thought it was kinda the whole block.

I wish I had saved up for that Glock 7...

Facebook posts have the legal weight of signs in Maryland- none.

Doesn’t it matter if the venue is private and how they control entry? Or see post #6

It's all up and down Bond Street in the town of Bel Air. Roads and sidewalks aren't private property

In that case public is public. Maybe it’s one of those empty threats so the organizers can say they ‘tried’ to influence people not to bring guns. It’s dumb; sounds like trying to make more gun free zones.

Now does anyone know if temporary permits can make an area not public for some purpose. Like is done for work zones? Temporary Ordinance?

While FB post may not have backing of law it would be interesting to see if a sign put up by local PD has force of law.

Looks like they will cordoned/partitioned off areas that will controlled entrances with security. Mainly Activiites and Event Central areas.

Who is Magnum Investigations and Firearms Training and why are they fascist pricks to assist with this tyranny?

 

[Chat-Bot]

Never heard of it. Get good BBQ elsewhere. St. Louis being one of my favorites for it.

 

[Bob A]

What's the draw for this?
Is it the traffic, crowds, long lines, greasy BBQ, drunks throwing axes?

Must be missing something . . .

Google it.

Private detective agency and personal security.

 

[brianns]

I bet there's a place you could just call that would bring bbq right to you. Even the greasy kind.

 

[Jimgoespewpew]

Sounds like the kind of thing I'd have loved in my twenties and hate now. No thanks. No desire to be in a crowd, especially without protection.
