Park Carry and Loaded Long guns?

[Fallguy]

Just so I am clear on all this: I can now legally carry at Meeman Shelby State Forest? But I need to wait until Sept 01 to carry at Overton Park or the Memphis Zoo provided they do not opt out and post?

And on 02-01-10 I could legally carry at Smokey Mountains National Park?

Thanks for clarification, I am still a bit confused by all of this bill...

Yes, except for maybe the zoo as redbarron06 pointed out.

Also I'm not sure if it is Feb 1 or a date later in the month on National Park carry. I'm sure we'll know the exact date by then, if it doesn't get enacted sooner.

I agree. But let's say if the sign was only $5 by the time you multiply that for every state park in the entire state, the sum is large enough for some to say they are Pro-2A, but fiscal impact on the state is too great and vote against it. That is what has happened in years past anyway, thus the express language of not changing signs in this bill.

Yea, I guess it's not the time for the state to spend additional money right now on new signs, besides, if they did the producers at channel 5 would have to be rushed to the ER for anxiety attacks.

As others have said, some zoos, like the Memphis Zoo (and K-Ville Zoo) are private companies and can post if they so choose. However if they are city owned, then the new law would apply assuming the city doesn't ban carry in parks.

I want to carry a loaded long gun in parks.

Good Heavens, think of all the poaching that will go on if we allow guns in the zoo!!

[Guest abailey362]

went fishing last night in a state park and carried ...be visiting there more often now probably

[Guest tedbo]

WooHoo!! We be cool at Cedars of Lebanon now as I understand it!

It remains a no carry place for those that do not have a HCP.

If you have HCP you can carry in a state park even if it is posted.

Thanks for the info.
