Sounds like fun. Though I might be visiting before then.

It looks like Ruger Collector has officially nominated himself as the April "party planner"! :celebrate

I wish I were there to attend. I haven't been to the Hogle Zoo since I was a kid!

Sounds good the 25th would be great day to meet. I think this would be a great OC event. Would be great if we could get a statement from the County or the city stating it is legal so the liberals at the Zoo can't turn us away. Let me know I will file a press release as well

Couple things-

1. We better get the zoo policy straightened out beforehand.

2. I'm out on this one guys. That's my range day for Aprils hunter education class. At least I'll miss it for a good reason, eh?

So far I have no conflicts on the 25th. The zoo sounds fun.

Looking at this thread

http://opencarry.mywowbb.com/forum52/23424.html

we might need some backup.

Anyone have access to AG Shurtleff that could get an opinion letter from him?

Well, I sent a request to the AG's office yesterday afternoon:

Is Hogle Zoo subject to UCA 53-5a-101 and 76-10-500?

The manager claims that they are a private entity, but the land they occupy is listed by the Salt Lake County Assessor as owned by Salt Lake City and their own web site says they receive funding from the State of Utah and Salt Lake County.

Thank you for your consideration.

I received a response a few minutes ago:

Thank you for writing to the Utah Attorney General’s Office.

The Attorney General’s Office is counsel to the state agencies and is prohibited by law from giving legal advise to private citizens therefore; you may want to contact a private attorney for assistance. I trust you will find this helpful.

Sincerely;
Pam Stevens

What a bunch of crap!!! There are several places in Utah law that specifically mandate the AG to act as an advocate for the citizens.

That really is a load of crap, plus that is clearly not a request for legal advice as much as it is an ask for clareification.

IIWY, I would resend the email with all of the research done. IE..all pertinent Utah codes with the information you can find about Hogle zoo being considered a state entity would help in countering the argument that you are asking for legal advice. Maybe even the code stating that the AG's office is to act as an advocate for citizens. Just an idea.

I know when I contacted them about UVU's policy against leagal firearm carry that is how I worded it and they responded to me with clarification that I was allowed to carry on campus and they even contacted the president of UVU explaining that their rule was illegal.

Would the 18th work better for everybody? Theresa lot ofwhining on UCC about the 25th... I could really do either day, but initially selected the 25th because they're having Hawaiian BBQ that day.

Mazellan: keep up the good work on the research, if we're not able to get an AG opinion we could just take advantage of the Hawaiian shirt theme on the 25th and pray for a windy day to expose our....

Though we may not really need an AG opinion (would be very nice though), LEO can check registered owners of property through their dispatcher...

I can't seem to register on the other forum, (It keeps asking for an authorization code, but when I click the spot where it says "find it here" it takes me to the forum rules instead. No code.) so I can't add my $0.02 worth too the poll. That said the 25th works best for us, and I've been asking friends that aren't forum members yet if they'd be interested.

Haha you need to read the forum rules... The authorization code is hidden within them sort of a check to see if you actually read the rules. Good luck finding it.

Read through twice. Granted I was doing it in a hurry, but didn't see "Authorization code" anywhere. There was another code but it wasn't the same title. I'll try again.

Has anyone heard from Mark Shurtleff, Mitch Vilos or Clark Aposhian on the private/public property issue with the zoo?
