| Conceal Carry at Cinn Zoo ?
Does anyone know if the Cincinnati Zoo has metal detectors is CCW friendly or not ?
FYI-- UPDATE: I just found out from a friend that the Zoo does have signs posted so I will comply and will be leaving mine in car. Everyone seems is so paranoid these days about guns and gun laws after the recent public shootings, but I read some posts that the neighborhood around the zoo is pretty rough would have liked to been able to carry especially while walking from car to zoo, but.. I guess I can't now... I have never understood places that bar CCW especially like concerts most arenas do not allow CCW inside if I am a thug I am thinking perfect spot to rob someone is someone coming out of concert or in this case the zoo because I know they are not carrying ! ALSO ... If someone is crazy enough to go off and shoot innocent people like some of the recent morons... do you really think a sign saying leave guns out is going to stop them ! sorry guys I will get off my soap box now  I do respect the law and respect the right of businesses to post to ban CCW on their property so I do comply whenever I am aware of the ban.

No metal detectors that I know of, but it is posted as "no guns". Signs at parking lot entrances and at most (if not all) walk-in gates. You would be able to lock your gun up in your car, but it's no-go within the zoo itself. Used to not be this way, but that changed a year or so ago.
add: If you go in off Vine Street and park in the big lot, the way it's fenced it's pretty secure and often has attendants walking around or at the street/entrance. There are attendants at the exit, since that's where you pay for parking. You walk to the main gate of the zoo thru a walkway over Vine Street. You're never off zoo property or on the street.

The area to the north and east of the Zoo (Vine/Forest) is residential and looks a little rough. The area south of the Zoo (Erkenbreker) is dominated by Cincinnati Childrens Medical Center and is fine. You can enter from Erkenbreker.

Anti-gunners are maroons. If someone wants to do harm they are going to carry regardless of what a sign says. It would be nice to be able to protect ones self.
I'm just saying.

The Memphis zoo is the same way, the surrounding neighborhoods are crime ridden - - well, OK, the whole city is crime ridden. But, on the bright side, I don't live there anymore.  |
