    Default Franklin Institute

    Franklin Institute is not carry friendly. They have no where to lock up you firearm.

    I was there a few weeks ago for the "Mummies" exhibit. I wasn't sure about the place, so opted not to carry when going there. But I didn't notice any signs. And there wasn't any metal detectors or people being searched/wanded.

    I'm wondering if the OP tried to check his weapon and they then had an issue??

    perhaps they aren't OC friendly, but I've CC'ed in there numerous times, including last month, with no problems. Can the OP elaborate on his situation?

    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.

    I didn't see any sign. What sign? Where? Unless it'll get me arrested I carry everywhere.

    I did the mummies a few weeks ago.

    The 5600 year old South American baby with the flat face is interesting. The European mummies were less well preserved. The bog woman looked squashed.

    No metal detectors, no signs, no problems CC in the museum or while visiting the mummies (OTW, longer shirt not tucked in). I have a membership and go there every few months.

    I have never seen or heard anything about their gun policy. I am sure I cc'ed there about 10 years ago.

    I just reread your post. Why would you need a locker if you are carrying your gun?
