Clark County Deputy Prosecutor Chris Horne told commissioners they will still be able to prohibit weapons at county-owned facilities, specifically the Sleep Country Amphitheater
WRONG!!!!!
I wrote to Clark County Deputy Prosecutor Chris Horne for claification about prohibiting weapons at county-owned facilities, specifically the Sleep Country Amphitheater.
His response is below for anyone interested:
"Any property owner who owns land may exclude weapons from their property. You can in you house, a business may on its premises. Similarly, the county can exclude firearms, to the extent we own property like any other property owner.
The key is that the county owns land in different capacities. In our governmental capacity we own property such as parks and may not restrict firearms. The county can also own land separate from its governmental role. It is in that context that the court has said that we may exclude as any other owner."
