Are places that require a paid membership (such as a gym) considered no carry zones because of admission?

so would going to see a movie be considered an "event" (yes i know for some it would)
But the basic rule of thumb is that if you had to pay money to get in, your gun cannot go in with you. Not sure if parties on private property with some drunk dude passing the hat around for more beer counts though
I believe going to see movies fall under the statute, making it illegal to do so while carrying a weapon, if the movie has an admission charge, that is.
Even some events which do not charge admission are covered too, btw, such as parades, funerals, etc.

I would think not because I think the statute names events, not places, where admission is charged. Paying for a gym club membership would be different than paying admission for an event at the gym.
So why doesn't anyone get arrested for carrying to an indoor range in NC. They charge admission fees, and they are NOT specifically exempted in the statute...
I don't think people at ranges SHOULD get arrested, I'm just pointing out how STUPID this law is, and how it is being selectively (and illegally) enforced for political expediency...

You can carry at guns shows, unloaded and secured but carrying after paying admission..
The ranges I go to call it "Renting a lane", so it is different (I would think). You can hang out in the lobby all day long, but have to "rent" a lane if you want to shoot.

Concerning golf courses and bowling alleys, many if not most of them are places which sell and serve alcohol, so you might be toast in those places.
Which brings up even more stupid questions like is the entire golf course considered an establishment which sells and serves alcohol or just the bar area? Same for bowling areas...?
