Can you also include KRS 237.110 and 020 and possibly chapter 527 here? The former is particularly important.
Thanks for the info. I'll take a look and revise as appropriate, and post a notice when the changes are made (hopefuly tonight).
Now on to the original topic. Dates for the OC Picnic!
I checked and Saturdays and Sundays are booked for the Jacobson Park shelters through July. There are three shelters available on Saturday, 29AUG09. The following Sunday dates are available in August:
2 (1)
9 (2)
16 (2)
23 (4)
30 (3)
The numbers in parentheses indicate how many shelters were available a couple of days ago.
At Shilito Park (out Nicholasville Road, just inside Man O War Blvd), all shelters are booked in July.
At Masterson Station Park (out Leestown Pike, aka West Main Street, about two miles past New Circle Road), there was one shelter available on Saturday, 25JUL09, and one shelter on Sunday 19JUL09.
At Veterans Park (Tates Creek Road, outside Man O War Blvd) there was a shelter available on Saturday, 18JUL09 and Saturday, 25JUL09, and the following shelters available on Sunday:
12 (3)
19 (4)
26 (4)
I'll go ahead and state my preference, but I'm of course open to whatever the group decides. I'd like to go with Jacobson, preferably on a Saturday that doesn't conflict with any holiday, even if it means waiting until August. I figure we need a month to properly promote the Open Carry picnic anyway, and I like Jacobson because it's pretty much Lexington's premier park. I always saw the Open Carry Picnic as something we'd do for public education and the socializing is just a nice side benefit for me. I want to be open carrying, loud and proud, right out in the open. I have no reason to be ashamed, and I want the image that there isn't anything at all wrong with open carrying in any city park. We're completely legal and right to be there responsibly practicing our right to keep and bear arms, and Jacobson Park sends the message that OC is OK in LEX. From a public relations perspective I think Jacobson Park would make the strongest pro-2A statement.
I was goofy busy getting ready for the 4th of July all of last week and I've had these shelter availability dates sitting on my desk for several days but never could find ten minutes to post them.
BTW - Check out what I did for Independence Day (liberty related, but not directly gun related). I was Big Bad Uncle Sam, like Lexington has never seen before!
