Over the years, the Louisville Zoo has claimed at different times that they were private property, that they were a school and that federal law allowed them to ban guns. KC3 confronted them on each of these points. The Zoo was never willing to take their ridiculous arguments into a courtroom. I have OC'ed and CC'ed in the Zoo on several occasions., The family and I went to Binder Park Zoo (Battle Creek MI.) this weekend. It is a great zoo and we gladly make the drive. I had not OC'd there before but was not concerned as I OC everywhere allowed by law (I have a CPL). We entered and looked around as usual and then boarded the tram to the "Wild Africa" section of the zoo., Planning for a trip to COS and Woodland Park. From what I've read here, it looks like OC is a non-issue most places in COS and Teller County. As most of the threads are a bit old (2012 and earlier, mostly), I thought I'd check in here and see if there's anything new I need to know. TX (home), it is hereby declared that plaintiff zoological park subdistrict of the metropolitan park museum district (saint louis zoo) fits within the definition of one or more of the gun free zones listed in the carry staute, specifically subsections (10) and (13) of 571.107.1 rsmo, and the zoo's designation as a gun free zone prohibits vistitores , If the zoo is owned by the city, county, or state, state preemption does not allow you to be prevented from carrying in a lawful way. However if it is a private business, it is their rules and you can be removed and trespassed. (Just CC if this is the case) lol, I'll do the "I am not a lawyer" disclaimer now. I am not a lawyer., I also hired her to counter-sue the Zoo so as to establish precedent that the Zoo's claims of being an educational institution, a day care facility, an amusement park, and a business (among other things) - are hogwash. If you've been following the news, you may have noted that the Houston and Dallas (TX) Zoos have made similar claims..
