Guns and The Gathering Place

The Gathering Place

The Gathering Place is being challenged by the Oklahoma Second Amendment Association.

The group claims the park is violating Oklahoma state law by not allow people to carry firearms there.

While built by the private sector as a gift to the city, at issue is whether the Gathering Place is a private or public space.   If it is private then gun can be prohibited. The $465-million park opened last weekend.

Several people have been turned away from the park because of weapons.
