Concealed Handgun License?? - Page 2

Regardless of the law I think a private business is allowed to say "no guns up in here"

and if I had a casino I would DEFINITELY not allow guns.

I've only hit up B&M's to play twice in my life (Tunica) and I distinctly remember a sign entering the casino floor that guns and knives were prohibited.

You'll be hard pressed to find a casino in Las Vegas that's posted "no guns allowed".

There is no law in Nevada prohibiting concealed carry in a casino.

Which is why I said it would be hard to find a casino that's posted.

Sorry, my stumbling way of agreeing with you. My bet is there are plenty of armed citizens carrying wads of cash and more than willing to protect their lives while playing in Nevada casinos.

My dad was walking into Winstar and saw the sign on the door prohibiting guns. He joked to his friend, "Guess I should've left my gun at home," not realizing that he was within earshot of security. They followed him very closely for quite a while [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] I'm pretty sure that all 4 of the OK casinos I've been to have had the same sign on the door.

I have a CCW, never do I carry in a casino but I always carry when in a private game.

Mississippi's concealed weapons' permit law specifically prohibits casinos, bars, etc. However, that didn't stop a guy from shooting up Casino Magic in Biloxi several years ago. IIRC, he killed several people. I don't recall, but I doubt he had a permit anyway. The people to fear are not the ones who go to the trouble to obtain a permit.

concealed carry laws are specific to the state you are in.

very few states allow private businesses to prevent you from carring on private property. you can carry in the mall, banks, etc., that's kind of the whole point.

an almost universal exception to this rule is any business that serves alcohol can prohibit concealed carry. i think all states with concealed carry have this exception.
