Norfolk Zoo

[AFCop]

I know its been discussed but searching has yielded tons of results amd honestly I dont feel like going through 200 plus pages of thread... lol

So here it is... Does anyone have experience OCing there? Good/bad encounters? Can they ask me to leave? Thanks so much!

I have and always OC there. Have never been asked to leave and both their staff and security people have seen me. As far as wether or not they can ask you to leave I don't remember I know it was discussed I'll see if I can find that thread.

Speaking of the zoo I guess that's what we are going to do today thanks for the idea AFCop!

Based on the info on their website, it appears the zoo is owned and operated by the City of Norfolk (meaning that 15.2-915 should apply)

I've also OC'd there with no issue and in case it matters, never have had them doing bag checks when I've been there. However, get caught bringing a straw in...you will get yelled at.

I'm on my way to the zoo with my wife right now. I won't be OC, because I am doing a gear test for a new iwb holster, but if you see us (I'm wearing a black shirt khaki shorts, and she is wearing a grey dress with pink dots), come over and say hi!
