KRMG has previously told you about the Gathering Place banning firearms.

Gerry Bender, Tulsa’s Litigation Division manager, recently told the Tulsa World police won't arrest people who violate the park's gun policy. This is reportedly because of concerns such an action would be legally challenged.

Under state law, firearms are allowed to be carried on property designated by a governmental authority as a park, recreational area or fairgrounds.

“TPD has had a presence at the Gathering Place since its opening and will continue to do so in order for the citizens of Tulsa to enjoy the park in a safe environment,” a Tulsa police statement reads.  “We maintain the legal authority to enforce all ordinances and State laws applicable to private spaces open to the public.”

Do you believe people should be allowed to have firearms at the Gathering Place?  Let us know in the comments.
