Obviously can't OC, but does anyone know what measures they take to prevent CC?
Thanks in advance.

They must be operated by the county or municipality for pre-emption to come into play and then the restriction only applies to persons not licensed to carry a concealed pistol.But can you CC? I thought you could, as its state property?
And isn't the Key Centre county property?

At first I was going to say that gogodawgs was wrong about both, but he is actually only wrong about Safeco. Safeco is owned by the Mariners and Safeco Insurance company, both PRIVATE companies. However, I found this about Qwest field:
Date Built July 19, 2002
Ownership (Management) Washington State Public Stadium Authority
(First & Goal, Inc.)
Surface FieldTurf
Cost of Construction $360 million
Stadium Financing Extension of county issued bonds serviced by car rental and hotel tax to raise $75 million; 6 additional lottery games to raise $91 million; Paul Allen to provide $100 million.
Naming Rights Telecommunications corporation Qwest $75 million over 15 years.
So if the owner is Washington State Public Stadium Authority and financing was county issued bonds, how can Qwest be considered a private stadium? OR Since it is a state agency that apparently owns it, is that why the firearms ban would be legal?

Regardless of the semantics regarding the ownership of these facilities, all of these types of arrangement's are partly ways to get around the rules and laws governing public facilities.
IMHO, if public monies or other resources are used to build and/or operate a facility it is and should be considered public.
It is just another way for the gov to weasel out of having to follow the law.
