boy scout carry

[spanky_27]

What does everyone think about carying during a boy scout meeting in a church I like to cary everywhere I go except schools and courts and whatnot but this has nothin 2 do with school but there is a Sunday schoeol class at the church just wanted some thoughts and opinions..and were meeting on a Saturday so........

Because it's at a church, I'd also be concerned if there was a daycare on scene, something you need to know before you even have a gun in your car on the church property.

Because it's the boy scouts, their policy is no carry whatsoever, firearms only as part of designated activities with a handful of other rules surround, a link was posted on INGO last week I'll see if I can find it; so depending upon your level of attachment to the group it may or may not be worth it.

Conceal it well and it wont be an issue.

 

[tgallmey]

In the thread from last week, wasn't it discussed that the Girl Scouts did not have a policy on firearms and would not tell someone they couldn't? So the Girl Scouts are more constitutional than the BSA? I was never a Boy Scout, but I'm not really bothered by that either. There are way too many things they do that I disagree with.

 

[ERyanH]

BSA Rules - No Firearms at meetings or on Scout Property. So leave it in your vehicle. I'm an Assistant Scoutmaster.

 

[dailylc]

If it is legal to carry on the property the meeting is being held, cover up well. I always did. Worst that could happen is, they kick your boy out.

Having the ICs in your quote, are you trying to say that it is illegal to do so, or by gone for good do you mean kicked out by the Scouts?

 

[actaeon277]

Yes. Boy scouts you can't carry unless you are LEO. But they have shooting sports.
Girl scouts you can carry. But they rarely have shooting sports.

Kinda funny. If it wasn't so twisted.
I leave the gun in the car. Bring Xtra knives.

 

[spanky_27]

I really appreciate all the info as I did not no the BSA law...never even thought about it hence the reason I was asking ... and I thought I new it all lol.

"Be prepared" but leave your gun at home? Whatever.

Let's start INGOscouts and focus on teaching our kids the constitution and survival in the real world instead of a state park.
