There is nothing in the penal code that prevents anyone from verbally describing where on their person their gun is being carried to any other person - LEO or not.
This subject comes up so often that I suspect that there are misinformed instructors out there that are teaching this stuff.

OK. Acvtually the law was changed in 2005 so as to ban any "government entity" from restricting concealed carry on any property it "owns or leases" except for specific places listed in the statute.Dragonfighter wrote:I am too tired to run it down, but I seem to recall a 2005? opinion (or maybe a statement in answer to inquiry) that "clarified" that statute and explained that municipalities could not restrict access to its facilities or properties of those persons that have CHL's and carry concealed handguns.
What is not clear, at least to me, is whether a private entity that leases property from a government entity (which owns it) can restrict concealed carry via 30.06.
Chas says no they can't. If the government owns the property, the private entity that leases it cannot enforceably post it 30.06. But I think he also said that the statute could use clarification through the legislative process.
It's certainly unclear to me. And I know for my own part, if I ever find myself at a place owned by the government and leased by a private entity that is posted 30.06, I will honor the 30.06 signs until it is clearly established (to me) that it is OK to do otherwise.
Others are of course free to do as they wish, and live with any results or consequences.

I went to the site. The yes/no answers did not have any elaboration. It was either "yes" meaning that people SHOULD be restricted from carrying concealed weapons and "no" meaning that people SHOULD NOT be restricted from carrying.
I voted "no" of course. At present, "no" was leading at around 79%.
Maybe not the result that Fox4 wanted.

Re: Went to the fair today with my CHL...
Good to hear!Shadowboxer wrote:After reading the great thread on what to expect at the fair and how the weren't going to allow CHL/then changed their mind, I was prepared for an interesting experience entering.
As I approached security at the gate, the girl started to wand me from my left side, before she even got to my right side (where the IWB is), I showed my CHL. She just smiled, kinda chuckled, stopped wanding me and let me pass.
Doesn't get any easier than that!
