Who says property rights trump state carry laws?
« on: August 18, 2014, 12:26:26 AM »
In Minnesota, state law says somebody is not prevented by law from carrying in a sports stadium, and a court says the NFL can't prevent them (a very special them of course) from carrying in the stadium where the Vikings play.

The Vikings are playing in a public university owned stadium at the moment, but does that matter if the Vikings have rented it out so they can sell tickets to a private commercial event?

First important distinction: an MN state court has zero binding on legal matters in Michigan.

No not for this specific case but if they win, pro-gunners in other states will know how to argue the same way.  :)
