Opry Mills posted or not?

[Oh Shoot]

A guy this year who was from Kentucky walked past the metal detectors at the Memphis airport and was charged among other things with that 500 dollar sign fine violation. He had a license in his state and the charge was dropped. He paid a fine and that was it.

Well, of course, even if he had been convicted of 1351, it wouldn't have tested the loss of TN HCP stipulation.

Saw a open carry in the mall this past weekend. Pretty crowded, no else seemed to notice.

Doesn't prohibit carry just prohibits use to inflict bodily injury. IMO it not only doesn't meet the TCA definition of a correct sign it really doesn't say you can't carry either. "No weapons..........may be used in any way to inflict bodily injury.........."

Certainly sounds like a "weasle-matic" posting.

weasel-matic ?

My question is pretty stupid but I need to ask anyway. How could they have the Opry Mills parking lot posted as Gun Free Zone and have a gun store on the property. I mean does Bass Pro Shop not sell guns and is it not located on Opry Mills property parking lot? How could you purchase a gun and some ammo to use in the gun and not break the law trying to get back to your vehicle in the marked parking lot?

While you're carrying a long gun and ammo you're actually in violation of the unlawful carry statute, not just the postings one.

The code of conduct sign doesn't meet the provisions of TCA 39-17-1359 and therefore is not enforceable other than asking you to leave. Doesn't mean they might not ask to have you arrested. At that point it would be up to the LEO (legal or not). I DO know that Opryland IS posted (as of about 6 months ago or so). The entrance off McGavoc Pike as well as signage entering the parking lot is nearly verbatim with the posting requirement

No case law we know of on non statutorily conforming signage.

Concealed means concealed and last time I was out there on a Saturday night, well lets just say I'm not going unless I'm carrying.

If I had a nickel for every time I read you type this ...  :2cents:

 

**edit** 

Not saying you shouldn't continue ... whenever I start reading a thread like this one I think to myself: "how many posts before OS comes in"

It's the only realistic answer every time somebody asks about whether you can be convicted for it, or states that you can't.

 

I'll add the TN AG's opinion to my canned retort to make it a bit more comprehensive. :)

No signs anywhere that I saw last Wednesday.   I entered neighborhood 2 and also looked at the theatre.   I did see the code of conduct that's been mentioned, but that's it.   Shhh.  :)
