Carry, be vigilant. Wear INGO hat.
I ran the Mini half-marathon twice....that just proves I'm a full idiot.
There will obviously be extra security measures in place at the Mini Marathon this Saturday. Does anyone know if concealed carry is prohibited for spectators?
I volunteer every year at the start line for the Mini and I would say if you are going to carry, carry concealed. I'm not looking to start anything hear but I am hearing there will be LOTS of extra security thanks to the boneheads in Boston. They're telling us not to bring backpacks unless you want to get stopped and searched frequently. Because of this, I suspect any OC'ing around the course may be pulled aside for questioning.
National Guard will be at the corrals searching bags. If you're a spectator, you won't be let in. I understand the latter half of that.
What I don't understand is that if you're just a spectator on public property, if you're carrying a bag you will be searched. . . . so unconstitutional.
Impromptu 2A rally at millitary park?
It is public property, however there is an event going on, which has an equivalent event in another city that was attacked. Your rights mean nothing to them. I'm sure you could also argue that it's the same as any events going on at Lucas Oil.
So, if I want nothing to do with the mini, and I'm just walking through the city to get to a friends house to do some reloading with my pistol powder in my backpack.....
Where do we draw the line folks? Seriously? If the above were to really happen, which is in no way illegal, I would be illegally detained, searched, and most likely held for a long period of time.
