If he was outside when the police arrived they have a pretty thin case on him carrying on the "premises" of a 51% location. I'd think they need more than just the complaintant saying that he saw him inside with a gun.nimravus01 wrote:I jave an update. I'll try to sum it up:
Let me just say that the defendant was carrying under permission of the lodge president, (Can that even be a defense under the 51% law?), In the performance of his duties as Seargent at arms. The verba altercation that lead to the police being called was in connection to lodge bylaws violations. The incident was over before police even arrived on scene and the defendant was outside the premises at the time.
That's all I know for now. We're waiting to see what the DA does.

If he has a LTC, they will no doubt amend that to 46.035b-1...which is still a felony. I wonder if there was a properly posted 51% sign. If not he will have a Defense to raise.
