March 30, 20179 yr A gun law recently passed in Arkansas apparently will allow people attending sporting events to carry weapons into the stadium. The University of Arkansas is asking for an amendment to outlaw this in stadiums. The University states that their membership in the SEC could be at jeopardy if this law is not amended. Should fans be allowed to carry weapons into stadiums?

The University of Arkansas is asking for an amendment to outlaw this in stadiums. The University states that their membership in the SEC could be at jeopardy if this law is not amended. Should fans be allowed to carry weapons into stadiums? Absolutely not. Too much can go wrong with that man people in one place regardless of the intent. This needs to be banned from sporting events. Why did they pass it in the first place?

March 30, 20179 yr KY's law. A concealed firearm SHALL NOT be carried in the following places Police station or sheriff's office. Detention facility, prison or jail. Courthouse (Court of Justice, courtroom or court proceeding). County, municipal, or special district governing body meetings. Meeting of governing body of a county, municipality, or special district. General Assembly session, including committee meetings. Any portion of an establishment licensed to dispense beer or alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises, which portion of the establishment is primarily devoted to that purpose. Elementary or secondary school facilities (without the consent of school authorities). Child-caring facilities, day care centers, or any certified family child care home. Areas within an airport where restricted access is controlled by the inspection of persons or property. Any place where federal law prohibits the carrying of a firearm. In addition to the above restrictions, units of state and local governments and postsecondary education facilities (colleges, universities, technical schools and community colleges) have the authority to limit the carrying of concealed weapons on property owned or controlled by them (KRS 237.115). You should check with units of state and local government as well as postsecondary education facilities prior to carrying a concealed weapon on their property. Also, KRS 527.070 prohibits unlawful possession (whether carried openly or concealed) of a weapon on school property, except for certain specified exceptions. KRS 244.125 prohibits loaded firearms (concealed or otherwise) in places where alcohol is sold by the drink, except for certain specified exceptions. In addition, Kentucky law does not prohibit the owners of private premises from excluding persons carrying firearms. Failure to vacate private premises when asked to do so could result in a criminal trespass charge.
March 30, 20179 yr 1. A law allows fans to bring guns to sporting events. 2. A segment of the UK fan population has spent the last week threatening a referee who made a handful of questionable calls in a game. Doesn't it seem possible (maybe even inevitable) that if #1 is allowed, then #2 could more easily happen?
March 30, 20179 yr I'm generally in favor of Gun ownership rights, but I do draw the line in areas where alcohol is served.

March 30, 20179 yr The SEC wants to make it where college sporting events are exempt from the law. If the SEC wants it I bet it happens.
March 30, 20179 yr Does the law as it is now stop them from doing it? No clue, but I'd imagine those people frisking me outside various arenas where I watch games aren't just doing it for the heck of it.
March 30, 20179 yr If someone has already asked this, my apologies, but what is the reasoning behind making this a law? Where is this demand coming from?
March 30, 20179 yr How did this law even get put on the floor as a bill? Who is calling their representative in Arkansas saying that it's just not right that I can't take a gun into football games? I'm just kind of at a loss as to how this came about anyways.
March 30, 20179 yr If someone has already asked this, my apologies, but what is the reasoning behind making this a law? Where is this demand coming from? Maybe because many consider a sports venue as a potential for a terrorist attack? People would now feel that they could defend themselves? If terrorists want to find a way to bring in guns they would. I think the greater fear would be a bomb in a stadium?

It would be very easy to do, security in public arenas and venues suck, suck bad, and people will feel violated if security was handled the way it needs to be handled.
