As opposed to snooty, which is what matre 'd's get.

This was in an indoor rec center pool area?

I use the Fairfax Co. rec center pools and the last one I went to had a sign on the locker room door that said cellphone and camera use were not permitted in the locker room and pool area.

Presumably, this is because there are naked people, including little kids, in the locker room, and lots of unruly adolescents and pre-teens in the pool area. And lots of little kids in the shallow end whose parents probably get creeped out by guys with cameras.

That said, there is a window upstairs in the lobby that looks out on the pool, and I recall no sign there.

My take? Locker room: obviously illegal to photograph. Pool area probably just a local rule. Violate it and be prepared for an argument of some sort.

Technically, yes.

Open Carry means in plain view. There's nobody to "view" it.

If a tree falls in the woods, and there's nobody around to hear it, does it make a sound?

The answer is ~no~. Sound as we know it is vibration, transmitted to our senses through the mechanism of the ear, and recognized as sound only at our nerve centers. The falling of the tree or any other disturbance will produce vibration of the air. If there be no ears to hear, there will be no sound.

Sure, but it's not like they could charge you for CCing without a permit or whatever because someone would have to be a witness to it, and then you'd be OCing :lol:

I know what you are saying, but it's not quite accurate. You can ride around naked all night in your car as long as nobody sees anything that would amount to an indecent exposure charge.

Does that then mean I am not OCing if there is not somebody there to see it.?

Well, if you areOCing yourGlock, there would be no logical phallus-see.



(That's a triple entendre, folks. Very rare.)

If you're CCing without a permit, you don't have a gun...Everyone knows that!:uhoh:

I'm beginning to wonder what the problem is Possumboy. They told you not to take pictures of your kids. I understand that. So what?

Was it a cop...if not, tell them to F Off.

I have people tell me not to do things all the time. I'm well pratcised inm telling them to F off ...or just ignoring them.

The Richmond police told me not to take their pictures at the Coliseum.

My kids are there for a lot of classes. I want it understood that I am allowed to take pictures. I do not want the annoyance of telling someone to "F Off" everytime I go there.

I have very few days that I can make classes, sometime only once or twice a year. It completely ruins the day if I have to talk to the staff about something they should not be even bothering me with.

That is where I'm at now. I violated the no pool area "request".

I received a call just stating that Mr. Blunt was waiting for the county attorney.

Hedid make it a point to say that was was not told I could not, just asked not to out of consideration for other parents.

I let him know that was not true. With the subject was first asked, I was told that I could not take pictures in the pool area. After I pushed back was when I got the "we request" answers.

Do not know if it is important or not they are saying they never told me no.

I was on my way to work. I cannot carry mine at work so I was not wearing it. Just about any other time I would have had mine running.

A lot like only carrying a gun when you're going to need it, isn't it. :?

Surely your employer doesn't forbid recorders in your vehicle. I know, here we go with the put it on, take it off thing again. Kind of just pickin' on you.

They don't forbid it, I just cannot have it if I want to park in the secure garage. It is one of those rules that they never really check for, but you never know who you are going to upset so you follow it.
