What about the Indian Fort Theater Area (Pinnacles) park and hiking area? Last time I was there it was posted no firearms. I think they might be affiliated with Berea College but not sure.

Owned by Berea College last I heard. It is a private "Christian" college . But, it is one of those extremely liberal places. |

Floyd's Fork Park in Jefferson County has a visitors center near the egg lawn. The visitors center is posted NO FIREARMS.
I believe it's owned by Louisville Metro government.

Yes, that building is owned by Lou. Metro and Lou. Metro has an ordinance prohibiting CONCEALED weapons in all their buildings. You can thank Hal Hiener for that ordinance. He voted for it when he was on the Metro Council. Now, he wants to be Governor and claims he is pro 2nd Amendment. Those signs are legal, but they only apply inside the buildings(not in the open spaces of the park) and only to CONCEALED weapons, so if you want to go in, just uncover your gun and go on in open carry. No problem. |

Thanks, Softpoint! I'm not sure I had much to do with this one. Two other members of KC3 started working on it. One of them is a local and works in Winchester. I came late to this party. I had a relationship with the Mayor from our previous dealing with Winchester and sent him an email about the problem. The signs came down the next day. That was probably too soon for my email to have had anything to do with it. The other guys had been working on it from other angles and the ball was already rolling before I found out about it. These things are never about getting credit for who did what. We just want them fixed. I have more time than most of the other guys, since I am retired and my children are grown, so I get to spend more time on this work. Most of the other guys are doing worthless things, like earning a living and raising a family.

Winchester is a pretty good town. With Mt. Sterling court days so close I figure most of that area is really pro-gun. Surprised to hear that Winchester posted.

I don't visit Winchester, but I live close by in Richmond. While I haven't seen any illegal signage, I'll sure be on the lookout now.

Some local public officials get elected or appointed to some low level government job in a small town and all of a sudden they think they have been made king. I've heard some really disturbing things over the years. I hate to hear, "My office", "My Fire Dept.", "My Library", "My town". These things belong to "the people". I once had a member of a smal town parks board really surprise me. I told them that they didn't have the authority to ban guns and she said, "We are the government. We can do anything we want to do." If the local governments had respect for the constitution and cared about peoples rights, the laws to prohibit this kind of crap would not have been necessary. |
