Tampa Zoo is owned by the City. It is located in a publicly owned park. However, to my knowledge the right of a private entity which leases public property used for the benefit of the public, to ban firearms has not been established in the courts one way or the other. I'm sure without the legislature chiming in, a judge would not hesitate to rule in favor of the zoo, and have you locked behind bars with zero sympathy.
This is a HUGE loophole in state preemption, and should be closed. As of yet, the RINO's have declined to do so.
