Franklin Institute

I'm taking my 3 grand daughters down to the Franklin Inst. I carry, so I called to see what there policy was. When I found out they are not carry friendly, I asked about a locker.
I didn't want to get there and not be able to get in. When you have kids at tow, things get upset quick.

I cc there at least once every two months as my daughter loves the giant heart and sports arena thing

When I have kids in tow, I am even more likely to be armed.

This is what "think of the children " should mean.

And we all know that mummies are just one step away from zombies, so you don't want to go in and not be prepared when SHTF.

LOL!

CCW is a wonderful thing...there are no metal detectors at the FI.

I was just there in April, with family, saw no signs and had no issues.

I was there last weekend to see the new Harry Potter film in full IMAX glory. (It was pretty freaking good).
Since I don't have a wand, I figured I'd better CC.

I went with 2 others, and there were at least 4 guns between the 3 of us. No one said anything, saw anything, or cared.

I've been there many, many times over the last few years. I volunteered there in high school (Long live W3TKQ/W3AA!), and I've maintained a membership off and on for the last ~10 years).

Did you also ask about other lawful things such as carrying a knife, pack of smokes, maybe a pen in your pocket or even open toed shoes?

If I don't know the policy of a place I want to visit, I don't ask and just cc.
