independence doesn't allow open carrying in public parks or government buildings.. of course sb656 admonishes the OC in parks if you have CCW.. and A5 pretty much butchers it entirely.
Nothing directly in the parks rules say it is prohibited I have a couple of calls in we will see what I get back from that if not I will shine some sun on independence!
