concealed carry at mid-America center

(1/2) > >>

depserv:
I'm going to be going to a concert at the Mid-America Center in Council Bluffs.  Does anyone know if they allow concealed carry there?  I believe a Nebraska CHP is recognized in Iowa.

From the MAC website:

PROHIBITED ITEMS
Bottles and cans
Food Coolers
Frisbees and beach balls
Laser pointers
Noise making devices
Fireworks
Illegal drugs and alcohol
Weapons and dangerous devices of any type

FarmerRick:
What are Iowa's laws concerning posting of prohibited places, penalties for disobeying, etc?

Kendahl:
Iowa accepts all state concealed carry permits including ones from Nebraska.

According to Handgun Law's web site, “'No Firearm' signs in Iowa have no force of law unless they are posted on property that is specifically mentioned in State Law as being off limits to those with a Permit/License to Carry." The owner can order you to leave and charge you with trespassing if you refuse. But it is not a violation of Iowa's gun laws.

Although Iowa does have state pre-emption, some cities and counties have enacted local ordinances prohibiting carry on property they control. The attorney general has issued an opinion that "home rule" allows them to do so. No one has volunteered to be a test case to determine whether this is legal.

Casinos are off limits without permission from the owners.

One of these restrictions may apply to the Mid America Center. The people at IowaCarry.org should be able to advise you.

Thanks for all the good answers my friends; this is a good forum.
