Philadelphia zoo concealed carry

[Walleye Hunter]

Give it a try.
If they detect it, go put it in the car.
Explain to the family

Nah, just say, "OK family, it's the Franklin Institute today".

The zoo is in a war zone and the parking arrangement requires that you have to walk a good distance to get to the gate. I won*t do that without a gun in my pocket. And now that there is a real chance that they will turn me away at the gate (making me the bad guy to my family) I*ll simply choose other entertainment.

You could drive about another 30 minutes to see the indigenous fauna in their natural environment.

There's a parking garage right next to the zoo.

Silly question: Is the zoo a privately owned entity or owned by government?

From the link above right below the info about the Evolv system.

Oh? When did they build that?

Edit: Google is only showing the same 2 street level lots that have been there for many years. Both require a nice hike through the aforementioned war zone to get to a gate.

You can pre-pay and park in a guarded and fenced smaller lot inside the zoo fences...
