And since it is publicly owned, they cannot prohibit you from carrying there, per 30.06(e).

Therefore refusing you entry because you're carrying, and not willing to allow them to collect your information is illegal.
Unless they collected the exact same information for every single other patron that entered.

Singling you out because of your CHL status is discriminatory.

Done.

Unfortunately, I think this only covers the DPS disclosing this information, not individual.

This is a Charles Question... I don't even know where to start looking.. I wouldn't look towards CHL law, but rather, General law, that should provide protection of privacy, for all individuals.

Also, good call on contacting the state rep. I'd do it.

Personally, Sounds like someone needs to go, take a videographer, and refuse to allow them to take down your information. If they refuse to stop taking it down, be sure to loudly state that you do not consent to them recording your information. Then try to continue walking in. If they stop you, ask them if you are under arrest or are being detained, and if so, for what reason? Ask them what laws you have broken.

I dont know if the property is government owned or leased though.. cant find anything on tax records, they act like it's not there.
