It was a far cry from last year's psycho lady who flipped out when I didn't let her grab my CHL out of my hand.

Security guy? Not a LEO? I don't even think my dad has seen my CHL. Not that I wouldn't show it to him if he asked to see it, but I don't see a reason to show it to a complete stranger if they aren't at least a LEO or I'm buying a gun from them. Call me paranoid, but I don't think I would show it to one of the gate folks like you did.

The question is then, is it enforceable since the property itself is still owned by the city? Some people, usually the business owners, still think they can.

I will not be going this year, but this is what I've done the last few years. I don't tell anyone at the gate that I have a CHL or gun or anything like that. I just tel them that I would like to see an officer. They usually know what I mean anyway and will just walk me to them. I do not show anyone except the officer my CHL. A few years ago one of the security folks tried to insist that they needed to document my name and address or phone number and I wouldn't let them and argued, in the officer's presence, that they could not prevent me from carrying since the park was owned by the city and that providing any personal information to anyone working there would amount to a form of registration. The officer agreed with me.

Since then they have not tried to collect any information from me, but have heard from others here that they have tried occasionally. That is probably more the Platinum Security folks, though, rather than the wanders or gate supervisors. Some of those Platinum folks get a little uppity. Last year was the easiest for me. The gate folks were very polite and no one yelled out anything like we've heard from some folks.
