Is it legal to CCW at BOK? specifically to concerts?
I did not carry for fear of pat downs - wands etc and was parked 4 blocks away.. I went to Fleetwood Mac this past wknd, and although the venue seems "safe" etc...the surrounding area - especially down on Archer St is iffy at best... I would be in Condition Yellow down there no matter what time of day. I was particularly uncomfortable the entire event being unarmed. and then the walk back to the vehicle at 11:30 PM......... sorry if this is a dupe I don't recall seeing any previous threads thanks, |

Nope not legal. I don't remember the exact rule but I know it's a no go.

Quoted:
is the BOK owned by the city? I re-read that SDA portion before posting and wasn't sure I saw what might prevent my CCW.. concerts don't quailfy as sporting event in an arena?? I really can't say who owns it....BUT....It would make sense that it is still considered a public event held in an arena for sales and promotional purposes. I'm guessing they'll be patting people down and hitting them with the wand. better safe than sorry in my opinion. |
