Tulsa, OK asked in Constitutional Law for Oklahoma

Q: Can you carry in the gathering place in Tulsa Oklahoma

I saw an auditing video and very confused since the gathering place is privately owned but open to the public so would that be considered public property where you can carry or does the private property apply and the rules the private property have apply over the law

A: The Gathering Place in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is privately owned but open to the public. This means that even though it is accessible to everyone, it remains private property. Therefore, the owners can enforce their own rules and regulations regarding carrying firearms.

In this case, the rules set by The Gathering Place's management would take precedence over general public property laws. If they have a policy that prohibits carrying firearms on their premises, you must adhere to that rule, regardless of the general laws regarding carrying in public spaces.

To avoid any potential legal issues or misunderstandings, it's important to check the specific policies of The Gathering Place before bringing a firearm. This will ensure that you are in compliance with their regulations and help you enjoy your visit without any complications.
