Zoo

[oucme69]

The family is going to the zoo tomorrow and I am wondering if I can carry there. I know they say no firearms but can cc so they can't see. But don't know if they search or have metal detectors. I looked threw the forms but couldn't find anything resent to see if maybe they updated there entrance. Thank in advance

The animals are all in cages.
Why do you need to be armed?

They do not have metal detectors or conduct any bag searches. Enjoy the zoo

I was there today and cc'd with no issues. Have fun with the family.

I CC every time I go...and with a 4 yo, I go a lot. Never had an issue.

Its the animals "OUTSIDE" the Zoo who should be caged up and that's why you should always carry

Love the zoo. Just google zoo accidents or escapes sometime. Might want to carry something bigger than usual.

Indy zoo is GTG. Same with Cincinnati zoo.

I thought Cincinnati Zoo was posted GFZ.

Something like this...

I was going to recommend a double gun in a significant caliber and a safari jacket...

I was at the Milwaukee zoo years ago and noticed that the Wolverine in one of their outdoor areas kept throwing itself at the wall where viewers had gathered. I walked around the enclosure to get a different view and noted that it was throwing itself at a place where a branch from a bush was hanging down...almost there...just inches away. I recommended to a local worker that they might want to trim the hedges before that Wolverine joined the crowd.

It would get a few looks but maybe we should all be carrying a double in something like a .470 Nitro Express!

 

[Thor]

And maybe with the increased demand they will make more and prices could come down...hey we can dream...

Yeah in cimcinatti or Ohio in general signs hold the weight of law. So if there is a no gun sign you will be going to jail if they catch you. Also Ohio is a "must inform state" so if you are involved in a traffic stop you must immediately upon contact tell the officer "I have a gun" or go to jail and they will do it too. So yeah have fun with that bs. I don't think a right can be legistlated away myself nor did our founders but just keep the consequences in mind should you choose to carry.
Indianapolis zoo is good to go as long as they never see it. If they do you will be asked to leave. Otherwise No issue. Have fun.

cincinatti used to have mag limits (10 rounds) as of just a couple years ago. The state made that uninforcable thankfully.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but: The Indy zoo being inside of White River State Park no local ordinance can limit carry beyond what the state has already limited, therefore local gov making limited carry laws in the zoo against state law and state allows carry in zoos and parks.

the zoo leases the property from the state for like a dollar a year I think. But yes the state passed a law like 2 years ago that made the Indianapolis city code of no guns in city parks null and void, since Indianapolis city council wouldn't do the right thing themselves and other cities too. So the state slapped their pee pees

If you are talking about the high price of doubles, it is not the demand or lack their of that makes them expensive, it the time and labor intensive cost of hand fitting to regulate the barrel. EAA did make some cheap doubles with a wheel for the owners to adjust regulation but very few ever made it to the US and with the exception of a chambering in .45/70 all were small bores.

I did not see anything while I was there this past weekend. Maybe I overlooked it, maybe I didn't, but it stayed in the car the entire visit.
