Canal Days

[Koven]

Can you carry in Canal Days? I wasn't able to find anything on it so was wondering if anyone can shed some light on it. Thanks!

How about more details for those of us that have no idea what a "canal days" is? (or where it is for that matter)

Going out on a limb if it is Metamora you are good as long as you dont enter the grist mill building. That building is state owned property that prohibits carry and the sign carries the force of law.

My bad, here's a link; http://www.visitfortwayne.com/event/new-haven-canal-days/16669/

It's like a festival/faire thing on a street.

In that case you should be good to go. I cant think of anything that would prohibit carry.

More than likely it's considered a private entity that is leasing public space and IS a GFZ according to their policy, not that they can readily enforce it if you are concealed.

Don't ask, don't tell!
dont do illegal or stupid, and carry on!

I open carry, but I sent them an email. Hopefully they respond back in a couple hours before I get there, or I will just have to see if I get asked to leave. If I do, I will definitely report back here.

or just conceal and have an enjoyable time.

If it tunes out that it is, ask them if they have any GFZ signage posted (doubt they will) and point out the idiocracy of removing legal carry when there are no signs to "stop" the criminals.

I was emailed this, "I echo chief McKinnons email. And I do support 2nd amendment rights. We will always ask anyone exercise common sense and have firearms properly permitted if there would be any concerns." - and open carried no problem. I actually had a few people ask me questions about it

Since it's owned by the Indiana state museum, I beleave you are correct that firearms are prohibited. But do you have a cite that the sign carries force of law, and what penalties are there if you ignore the sign?

I believe canal days is now over but FYI for future reference, last time I went, AFAIK part of the vendor area was located on school property. Be cautious about school property, otherwise you should be GTG.

I saw the school property part and avoided that area parking elsewhere.

My response to the email on if Canal Days is a GFZ or not is as follows;

"I echo chief McKinnons email. And I do support 2nd amendment rights. We will always ask anyone exercise common sense and have firearms properly permitted if there would be any concerns."
