Anybody with good/bad experience carrying at Franklin-Covey Field? Took my son to a game and checked website before--no mention of carry. Sign over gate says "no firearms". I assumed they meant no illegal firearms and carried in. If you don't have a bag with you then you avoid the personal search and go to the gate to the right if you enter behind home. No problems my two times. I guess I am less concerned about need to carry in the field than I am the crummy neighborhood of the stadium. Anybody else?

Same as Delta Center- doesn't matter if they announce over the loud speakers and have signs "no Guns" every 15 feet. You are not breaking any law by concealing and carrying if you have a CCW.

Clark, explain this better if you can. If they have signs, then you aren't allowed to carry on their property, right? Are you saying that you aren't doing anything illegal, meaning they can't haul you off to jail, but they can ask you to leave the stadium? If I did get 'caught' with a firearm on the grounds, but have my CCW, what can they do to me? Same goes with the Delta Center. How would they handle such a situation?
Thanks-
Devin

There are rules and there are laws. We can only be arrested for violation of law/statute. FC Field can make whatever "rules" they want to but can not have the police enforce them. FC Field is private property But.... it is open to the public. As such commercial trespas laws apply. You must remain on the property after having been told to leave...... AND be interfering with the business of the proprietor.
I am not certain if this answered your query, I tried.

What about churches then? Though a church may have a "No Guns' sign on their doors, can they really enforce that?

I suppose, say, with the LDS Church, if they had signs posted and someone, like a bishop, found out I was carrying concealed (with permit, of course), the worst he could do was kick me out of the church building. Who knows, perhaps he could 'excommunicate' me from the church altogether?

Questions, questions....

What about churches then?...

You'll notice in the statute that Clark posted, that carrying inside of a church that prohibits guns is an infraction. You can find that statute online here:
U.C.A. 76-10-530. Trespass with a firearm in a house of worship or private residence -- Notice -- Penalty.

Here is the list of churches that have notified BCI that they ban guns on their premises:
Houses of Worship Prohibiting Firearms On Premises

BTW, check out this post about the handy firearm-related bookmarks that I've collected over time:

You must remember that any place which accepts state funds, wether from taxes or other sources, is no longer subject to any provision of the law. In other words they can no longer restrict private citizens from entry who are legally carrying. These places include, but are not limited to: The Delta Center, The E Center, Franklin Covey Field. They have no right to restrict you.
