Just got off the phone with the City of Janesville. The bathrooms and pavilion down there are owned by the city. The pavilion is available both Saturday and Sunday. The pavilion doesnt have walls or a door, just a roof on huge concrete pillars with picnic tables, partial wall with countertop and a water fountain. Although the bathroom is enclosed.

I checked the weather, and one weather station says rain on sat, t-storms on sun. The other says t-storms on sat, and sunny on Sunday?!?! Which day do I make it for? wtf... Would Sunday be a better choice? Seems either way Saturday is a wet day. Plus Sunday, we can get a couple more guys to show up...

OK.... Still stands. Can't use the bathroom while armed unless we have permission from the chief of police.

The pavilion isn't technically a government building since it has open sides. Unless you pee with no walls around you and no door then it is a government building.

Once again, I'm not trying to be a bearer of bad news but since the Janesville Chief made those statements in the paper, I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't have officers drive by periodically to make sure we are following the letter of the law.

As I said, what was done at the Baraboo picnic was that a gun safe was put outside the bathroom and people pulled their weapon from the holster and put it in the safe while doing their 'business'.

I will attempt to make contact with him. If for some reason he says no, or unable to reach him by the time of the BBQ, we may have to make a stop at the trunk of our vehicles before going to the bathroom...
