We we are concerned about the statue below for Correctional Officers as well as can apply to most Peace Officers:
24-1. 5 Carrying or possessing any pistol, revolver, stun gun or taser or other firearm on the land or in the legal dwelling of another person as an invitee with that person’s permission.
What this means to us…
Any person or Peace Officer not invited by the club owner of management does not have permission to Carry ANY weapon in the Legal Dwelling if they are not on duty. Peace officers while in performance of their official duties. investigating a crime, Serving warrants etc. Are able to carry there weapons in ANY dwelling.
If you have to remove a person from a Site we first must say to them ” We will have to ask you to leave the premises” after that statement we must allow them time to leave on there own. (Using passive-aggressive means we walk them out). If the person does not leave, we can remove them and Trespass them if necessary.
