My 9 yr old daughter swims competitively with a city sponsored team. She practices 4 days a week at the city pool. Im trying to determine if I can carry when I go poolside to pick her up.

I'm new to CCW and am trying to do the right thing. I'm also a greenhorn on the forum scene, so please forgive any obvious stupidity!!! Thanks for the input.

Do you have a CWFL?
Is the pool at a school or any of the other places listed below?

Interesting question. If it's an official school athletic event, then the answer is no. Otherwise, yes. Give us more details.

It is not related to any school, nor is adjacent to any school. It is a city league at a city pool/facility. There are no signs about firearms. There is just something eating at me about "kids sporting event", though it is just practice & "city facility". I do have my CCW. Thanks!

If it is not on the official state list of prohibited sites, then you should carry. The gun should stay in the holster, on your belt. The relocation of the gun from place to place as you make your rounds is not the best choice.

Signs prohibiting firearms carry no legal weight in Florida...

I think you are refering to the following restriction:

any school, college, or professional athletic event not related to firearms
And you said "It's not related to any school"

You're good to carry....

 

[Steve48]

Agreed. I understand the uneasiness, but carrying there is legal.

9 year old Daughter? Carry! and be aware, my Daughter is 50, I still watch out for her!

I hope that I am not out of line here, but it looks like you can carry, If you are at a public pool and the sessions are not school sponsored, and you are clear of the other legal restrictions in 790, then it is fine to carry.

Signs are "no good", but I sometimes worry that our police do not know this and jail can be an ugly place. even if just for a brief period of time while the State Attorney's Office brushes up on the law.
