And this would be a good example of concealed carry being more appropriate than open carry.

It is a Metro park. My understanding was there is no carrying on any metro parks thanks to the horrible metro council.

All parks which opted out of new law must be posted according to state statute.

As some may or may not know...if a team wins all games of series it is called a "sweep" So in places where allowed fans may bring brooms for the last game of series, if there team has one all the previous ones, as a symbol to cheer for a "sweep".

Greer is not listed as a Metro Park on their website.

Nashville.gov - Parks and Recreation - Park Locations

Metro Nashville Parks are all off-limits, are not posted, and I don't think they have to be posted.

Municode - Search

13.24.440 is the text on their ban in the parks.

TCA 39.17.1311 (d) says they can make all parks off-limits and it makes no requirement to post.

TCA 39.17.1311 (e)(2) says they have to post, but I seem to recall that certain municipal codes were "grandfathered" in and don't have to. Nashville and Knoxville come to mind. Does anyone know more about that?

TCA 39.17.1311 ©(3) looks like the city can simply vote themselves out of the requirement to post.

I didn't stay at a Holiday inn Express last night, so this analysis is probably worth what you paid for it.

The grandfather clause covers any city ordnance in place before 04/01/86 Knoxville had an ordnance in place before that time that prohibited carry in their parks. So they are off-limits per city ordnance, (that didn't require posting) not state law. So a violation there is a violation of a city ordnance, not state law. I didn't think Nashville had any such ordnance in place, otherwise they wouldn't have had to vote to opt out of 39-17-1311. But even if they did have such an ordnance, I would think it would be superseded if they took a vote per 39-17-1311 and wanted to make them off-limits per state law.

©(3) allows cities/counties to opt of out posting the posting requirment in ©(1) that requires all local parks statewide to be posted regardless. (e)(2) says they must post if they choose to exercies their "opt out" option.

Of course you highlight a problem I've mentioned...if you a sign, you don't know if it is posted per ©(1) or (e)(2), plus the AG has said you can still be charged even if no signs are posted....so......

I could be wrong but I believe it's part of Fort Negley park hence the same address.

[monkeylizard]

I don't know if zoning and parcels are relevant or not, but the children's science museum is on the same parcel of land as Fort Negley while Greer is on its own.

Fort Negley is parcel 10502044600

Greer is parcel 10502043400

Blah blah blah. Tennessee gun laws are so F'd up.......

+1 but at least it keeps a great discussion going

[Guest nashvegas]

Well, I decided that I'd like to wash the hotdogs down with a beer, so I opted out of carrying in the ball park.

It was a beautiful evening weather-wise. Sadly, the Sounds got their arses handed to them by Las Vegas.

I saw no postings anywhere.

Agree...

Since carry is illegal without a permit I don't see why if you want to allow those with a HCP to carry somewhere (parks) why not just repeal the law that prohibits it instead of making an exception?

Only took a court case, 2 votes, 2 vetoes and 2 veto overrides to figure that out for places that serve alcohol.......lol
