It is city property, therefore state preemption applies,
+1, and folklife has tons of staff walking the grounds looking for issues, all hooked to a centeral dispatch/coordinator.According to NPR today, it goes into effect at the beginning of the Folk Life Festival.
As an example of what Dean was saying, Safco and Quest Fields are off limits to firearms even with a permit because the teams that lease the property want it that way. The Washington Convention Center is the same in the portions of the center that are leased by those organizations, corporations or individuals that wish to restrict the carry of weapons and or firearms.
Remember however, carrying in these places is NOT a crime, they can at best have you tresspassed and you would not be able to return for up to 1 year. Many permenant establishments that restrict firearms like the Mariners just deny you entry at the door or demand you leave and not come back for the day, and never come back with your firearm or they WILL tresspass you.
I am pretty familiar with the trespass statutes and I don't think they specify the length of time you have to stay away. The agency requesting the trespass makes that decision. It could be longer than a year or less.According to NPR today, it goes into effect at the beginning of the Folk Life Festival.

Its normally a year, as a standard in business. I have written many, many trespass requests for corporations and individuals, and almost without exception it was one year. A few requested 3 or 6 months. It seems to go in stages of 3 months at a time, but never over a year unless it was accompanied by a criminal charge.I am pretty familiar with the trespass statutes and I don't think they specify the length of time you have to stay away.

Amen, I will probably be heading down Sunday, and I WILL be CC, even if the weather is really nice.....hmm...Im going to have to think over my wardrobe.I'm going to be heading down today.
I'm not a sheeple.
I'm know when CC is prudent.
'nuf said.
Slaps head!
Why didn't we think of that? I group of us go in CC, then as we are about to leave we uncover and go about our business.
I understand the implications re: pending litigation, but it's fun to think about.
Good point Dean, I think I may just do that if I end up going by myself.Slaps head!
