A spokesperson for the Lightning said his team was investigating the matter to see how Cassidy got through security with the concealed weapon.<\/p>\n<p>As a reminder to Florida residents, here are the gun-free zones across the state courtesy of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usacarry.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"concealed-carry-permit-holder-arrested-for-bringing-gun-to-hockey-game\" title=\"Concealed Carry Permit Holder Arrested for Bringing Gun to Hockey Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> usacarry.com<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Any place of nuisance as defined in s. 823.05<\/li>\n<li>Any police, sheriff, or highway patrol station<\/li>\n<li>Any detention facility, prison, or jail; any courthouse<\/li>\n<li>Any courtroom<\/li>\n<li>Any polling place<\/li>\n<li>Any meeting of the governing body of a county, public school district, municipality, or special district<\/li>\n<li>Any meeting of the Legislature or a committee thereof<\/li>\n<li>Any school, college, or professional athletic event not related to firearms<\/li>\n<li>Any school administration building<\/li>\n<li>Any portion of an establishment licensed to dispense alcoholic beverages for consumption<\/li>\n<li>Any elementary or secondary school facility<\/li>\n<li>Any area technical center<\/li>\n<li>Any college or university facility<\/li>\n<li>Inside the passenger terminal and sterile area of any airport<\/li>\n<li>Any place where the carrying of firearms is prohibited by federal laws<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The incident caught the attention of Ladd Everitt from the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence who chided the fan for carrying in a crowded environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cScary,\u201d said Ladd in an email to GunsAmerica. \u201cI\u2019m glad no one was hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe image of this guy working his way through the bathroom line, dropping the gun, and fumbling to pick it up in that type of crowded environment says it all,\u201d Everitt continued. \u201cAs a big hockey fan myself, I understand what playoff games are like. Lots of beer, passions running high, and frequent altercations between fans of opposing teams. It\u2019s certainly no place to be playing cowboy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The right to keep and bear arms is a fundamental right. No doubt about it. As is the right to self defense. However, in this particular case, the property rights of the owners of the Tampa Bay Lightning trump one\u2019s Second Amendment rights. If Mr. Cassidy cannot abide by the rules set forth by the Lightning ownership, then he shouldn\u2019t be attending games. \u00a0Plain and simple.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, there are a lot of places I choose not to frequent because of their anti-gun policies. Movie theaters, for example. I can\u2019t remember the last time I went to go see a movie in a theater. Even before the shooting in Aurora, I never liked the idea of being seated in a crowded, dark room with a bunch of strangers. Perhaps I\u2019m overly cautious or maybe even a bit paranoid, but that\u2019s just one place I don\u2019t feel comfortable going, particularly unarmed.<\/p>\n<p>What about you, how do you see this situation? Are there places or events you forgo because they are gun-free zones?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A hockey fan and licensed concealed carry permit holder was arrested on Wednesday for brining his handgun into the Tampa Bay Lightning arena. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":36720,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,7,216,240],"tags":[132,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-36718","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-gunsamerica-authors","9":"category-s-h-blannelberry","10":"category-this-week","11":"tag-buzz","12":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Concealed Carry Permit Holder Arrested for Bringing Gun to Hockey Game<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A hockey fan and licensed concealed carry permit holder was arrested on Wednesday for brining his handgun into the Tampa Bay Lightning arena.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/concealed-carry-permit-holder-arrested-for-bringing-gun-to-hockey-game\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Concealed Carry Permit Holder Arrested for Bringing Gun to Hockey Game\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A hockey fan and licensed concealed carry permit holder was arrested on Wednesday for brining his handgun into the Tampa Bay Lightning arena.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/concealed-carry-permit-holder-arrested-for-bringing-gun-to-hockey-game\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2015-05-08T15:27:09+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-18T17:04:18+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Fan.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
