Metal detectors at Zoo Atlanta?

[SlowlyButSurely]

Does zoo atlanta use metal detectors? I know they have an anti gun policy but that it’s still legal to carry there. Wanting to know if they use detection methods or not.

 

[SlowlyButSurely]

Actually their rules claim it’s illegal but I don’t think so. https://zooatlanta.org/visit/rules/
this is the precursor section of law: https://codes.findlaw.com/ga/title-16-crimes-and-offenses/ga-code-sect-16-11-126.html
and the next section is the one the zoo points to.
I call baloney. The next section says license holders can carry in government locations

Anyway what I’m interested in is whether they enforce it via metal detection

They have no metal detectors and have previously stated that they follow state laws in regards to carry.

They took down the metal protector when Abrams visited the Zoo.

The metal in her belt buckles alone would set thing off bigly.

They ought to change their FUD website then. What do you expect from Fulton though.

I've carried there multiple times, concealed, without issue.

Abrams belt buckles are concealed, too.


Deep concealment.

Her concealment… pockets…. Have extra concealment flaps

Deep concealment.

With the tension on her belts I'm sure they qualify as an IED too

The Zoo tried to ban lawfully carried weapons again as of 09/01/2022, but walked it back again after I pointed out state law to them.

Update… I went the other day. No detectors. Nobody even knew. Lots of Stacey Abrams supporters though. Scary stuff for Halloween!

Atlanta zoo backtracks on gun ban after 2 months, allows visitors to carry firearms

Zoo Atlanta announced in September that guns were banned on the premises “in an effort to enhance and protect the safety of our team members, guests, and the animals in our care.”

maybe this link will work.

Didn’t matter what their policy was. Legally they could just kick you out. Not a crime.
