Hey all!
I was reading up on Sunfest, a week-long music and arts festival in West Palm Beach. I attended last year prior to having my CWFL, so I did not even bother to check the rules. I have checked this year, and they can be found at this link: What?s Allowed Inside | SunFest Music and Arts Festival | May 1-5, 2013
Obviously, the prohibited items create a no-go for concealed carry. My issue is this: the area that is used for this festival is a public portion of the city, although as a paid event they fence it in for the festival. Any other time of the year, it is entirely legal to carry a concealed weapon there. My understanding was that the laws in Florida were rewritten in 2012 such that it was against the law for any county or municipality to prohibit carry in any place not specifically covered by FS 790. What am I missing here? One of my friends suggested that the area may be under lease by the company operating sunfest.
