I was just curious as to if anyone here planned on attending Saturday the 21st.
Unless you are planning on flying around with the airplanes, the military involvement is nonsense. A few years ago Louisville Metro blocked off almost half of downtown Louisville and declared it a "gun free zone"during all Derby Festival events. KC3 fought them over it for years. Finally, about three years ago, after threats, by KC3, to sue police officers who enforced this GFZ, the Louisville Metro Police FOP told the city that they would no longer enforce that illegal policy and it went away. I just checked the Derby Festival website last night and found no mention of weapons being prohibited or "Gun Free Zones". There is a section of "What to leave at home" and firearms is not mentioned. It all appears to be just as it should be. Remember to be careful around the beer tents. They could be a problem. I'd hate to have to argue in court that a tent is not a room.
This is the same day as the EKM&G, looks like I will not be making the drive. It seems like it would have been rather entertaining though.
Can you tell me exactly where that sign was? Did you actually see the sign? What was the exact wording? A picture would be better. This has all been gone over several times with the City of Louisville. We may have to go over it again.

If you can tell me exactly where. I will go and try to find it and confront the city about it. It is not supposed to be there and it needs to be taken down for everybody else. I can't just drive all over downtown Louisville looking for one sign.
Gutshot I never saw a sign of any kind. If there was one it sure wasn't right out where it could be seen. I know i was not going to be detured from going in. I had planed for all angles and had everything ready. What struck me weird is as i was walking along in front of the entrance i was in the middle of at least 25 state troopers and not one said a thing.and i am sure they had to notice. they looked right at me more than once. no one in the crowd seem to give a crap about my side arm, i was setting next to a family with 3 young kids and we talked and had a good time. But your right this will need to be re-visited i dont dought there may have been a sign somewhere. The security guy seemed very shocked i was armed. but he was very nice about it all.
