Interpreting the law
Posted: Sun Jul 19, 2009 6:30 pm(a) It is an offense for any person to possess or carry, whether openly or concealed, with the intent to go armed, any weapon prohibited by ยง 39-17-1302(a), not used solely for instructional, display or sanctioned ceremonial purposes, in or on the grounds of any public park, playground, civic center or other building facility, area or property owned, used or operated by any municipal, county or state government, or instrumentality thereof, for recreational purposes.
So the park issue has changed which is fine. However, what does the state define a "civic center" to be? I am thinking a music hall or theater owned by the state. Does this seem correct? Also, this law only concerns facilities "owned, used or operated by any municipal, county or state government, or instrumentality thereof, for recreational purposes" correct?
