Philadelphia Zoo
This is my first time posting, but I have PM a few and read hundreds of threads...this place is great. My question is am I allowed to CC at the Philadelpia Zoo. The wife wants to take my nieces there and I was curious if I can carry it there. Thanks for your help.

Re: Philadelphia Zoo
I would suspect you would have to check with the park rules. Personally I can't see why not, but this is philly we are talking about. Like I said, just to be safe, I would probably check the rules and possibly even call someone inquire about the rules and regs. Just my 2cents...
Be safe in Philly friend!

Re: Philadelphia Zoo
The key distinction is between laws and rules. Laws should not be broken, but unless the PZ is a national park, CCW there is not against the law. If the PZ is a state park, then it's possible that CCW is against the law. If the PZ is neither, then any CCW ban is just some piss-ant rule that the PZ invented, and has no legal weight whatever. I'm gathering that the OP wants to know which of the 3 cases prevails.

Re: Philadelphia Zoo
No metal detectors, but I believe there was something posted about no weapons allowed. I didn't CC when we went there last because I didn't know the policy. Could you let us know what you find out?

Re: Philadelphia Zoo
But it doesn't mean that you can just go blatantly disregarding rules set out by the PZ or anyone for that matter. And you all wonder why politicians think of gun owners as law breakers too. Do you know how easily this could turn terribly sour if the media got ahold of this?
"Breaking news this evening, local man carries a concealed weapon into the philadephia zoo with blatant disregard for the rules..." You wonder why we have such a tough time keeping our guns in our hands? You people drive me insane!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Philadelphia Zoo
Problem would be that if it is a policy set by the Zoo (is it privately owned?) you would be breaking their policy and be asked to leave the Zoo. While I think we have a right, I also think private property owners have the right to set policy that should be followed. You can't force one right down the throat of another who is exercising their right. If it is a city owned or national park I think the stupid regulations must be repealed, but until then follow the rules of private property owners and the laws of the land. Disregarding either is no way to change either.
