    Default Carnegie science center policy?

    Does anybody know the firearms policy of the Carnegie science center in north side of pgh?

    Was checking out their website and couldnt find any of their policies.

    Carried the last few times I was there. No security, no detectors, no visible signs that I could find anywhere outside or in. Concealed means concealed, and since I didn't see signs, I wasn't trespassing.

    I CC'ed the last time I was there (10 years). Be aware though, the Submarine is federal property and may be part of the National Park System, not part of the Science Center.

    I CCed there when I went for the Guitars exhibit a few months back. No signs, no metal detectors, no problems, and no second glances. Like others have said, concealed is concealed. If nothing says you can't, and no one knows you have it, no one can complain.

    As of August 31st 2013 there is no wanding or pat downs. I can't make any claims past that date.

    Was there in the summer without issue. That said, I was at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History a few weeks ago, and on my way out, I noticed a no firearms sign posted on the doors.

    Being as both are "Carnegie" museums, there may in fact, be a no weapons policy at the Science Center as well. But I see no policy listed on any of the websites to confirm one way or another.

    better to ask for forgiveness than permission if you dont see signs or posted online anyway

    The near future was this morning. No signs, detectors, pat downs or cavity or bag searches observed. Just people taking money and giving out wristbands. Had a good time with the family.
