I just sent an email to the "contact" (munsonfestival@yahoo.com) for the Munson festival to get a confirmation of the "State Park Law" that makes firearms illegal at their venue.
I report back when I get an answer.

LOL Yep! I don't see how they can enforce the ban legally.

Various state legislators a few times. First time or two was pre internet so used good old snail mail. Got those "Thanks for expressing your interest in..." generic replies to both mail and e-mail.

Got an email back. Here's the contents. I have called the person/number listed but got voice mail for the time being.
I did research a lot of the Florida Forest Service website but I don't see anything about firearms control there.

That is a Florida Forest Service rule that was given to the Festival. You will need to call the Florida Forest Service about this, there number is 850-957-5701 ask for David Creamer.

OK, as another update, I just got off the phone with the previously mentioned David Creamer from the Florida Forest Service and we had a very nice conversation about the Munson Festival "No Firearms" posting in the state park.
He said that he had told them that "several years ago" but it was no longer correct due to state preemption. (fs 790.33)
Evidently the Munson Festival is still posting that notice and it is NOT correct.
The conversation was very nice. Mr. Creamer evidently knows his business and his state firearms laws and he did mention the provisions for open carry also apply!
So, for those of you who wish to conceal carry at the Munson Festival, you are legal to do so.

It had nothing to do with preemption (which was established in 1987 - statutorily at least, but it's existed in the Florida Constitution since it's inception.)
The specific statutes (790.11, 790.12, and 790.14) were repealed in 2006 (at the same time the legislature ordered DEP to change their regulations to comply with all Florida Statutes) so that instruction has to be at least 11 years old. :uhoh:

Absolutely not needed.
The 'rules' have been clear since 2006 (actually 2009 when the DEP acknowledged what the law really said.)
Just because some festival has some outdated information on their four year old website, it not really a pressing matter for folks that actually know the law and ignore BS like this.

Truth.
I would disagree - it perpetuates a falsehood that will be accepted by those not as knowledgeable as most here.Absolutely not needed.

No erroneous information should be allowed. We educate, not ignore.
