I almost carried, but like I said, chose not to because I did not know if the zoo was a no carry zone. I had my knife in my waist band. When we left, people were swarming up and down the hills fighting. I took one look and told the daughter that we had to leave, NOW.
I posted the question because I almost carried and missed being in the middle of the shooting part by just a couple of minutes and wanted to know others opinions to the situation. I asked a gentleman who works at the husbands work today the same question. He is a ex cop, boarder patrol, military vet. etc. He also used to work undercover. He said that he would have eliminated the treat to others. I thought it was a real thought provoking situation.
