Well I've just recently tried to catch up on all this stuff with arts beats and eats I haven't had time to keep up with all of the developments. But, I just read the Arts Beats and Eats web site were i read this
Please join us in making large festivals gun free zones. To all festival fans, including gun owners, we have no intention of marching against the second amendment and gun rights, we simply ask everyone to join us in some common sense legislation that prohibits guns at large fairs and festivals where there are families, alcohol served, a large police presence for security. Our environment is similar to other places where guns have limitations including stadiums, theaters with 2500 seats or more and places that serve alcohol. If you are willing to join us to remove guns from large special events then please sign up here and we will contact you after the festival.
Thanks,
Arts, Beats & Eats
The point I would like to make is that these other events that he is talking about are held on private property(stadiums&theaters). If he doesn't like the fact that we can open carry on public streets in the RO then maybe he should think about buying the city or holding the event on private property where he can impose his opinion on law abiding citizens. The establishments in RO that are participating in this event which are on private property still have the right to deny OC on their property wich is there rights because they own the establishment. What this guy needs to realize is that he is on public property holding his event because the tax paying public lets him not because he owns it. If he doesn't want law abiding citizens carrying firearms legally then he needs to hold it in his own back yard or buy the silverdome.
