A recent shooting at an Alabama Water Park poses the unanswered question: " how does one carry concealed in a bathing suit?" Was the shooter pocket carrying? AIWB in a pair of speedos? Or, swimming while open carrying?

The Park manager stated: "We can't lawfully post a no weapons allowed sign!"

Really??? At a water park???

I'm gonna guess the pistol came in concealed in a backpack or purse, since they're now talking about requiring clear purse and backpacks . . .

As for the "No Firearms" signs, I did a little looking. Alabama law specifically allows lawfully possessed firearms in public places, and the Alabama AG clarified this with emphasis in 2016. Here's an article:

AG acts: 'No guns allowed' signs come down all over state - al.com

I'm guilty of living in the past. That wave pool Park was a blast when we were kids. The worst thing I remember was a kid sneaking around with a pin poking holes in all the floats in the wave pool. He didn't even get beat-up when caught!

Yep, probably backpack, I believe the shooter was a 20 year old.
Back in the day no one carried packs and only the moms had purses.

Different day, different times.... it's still a shame at a kids water park.

Maybe that's a question best left unanswered.
 
1. I don't swim in public pools.

2. A criminal wouldn't be concerned with concealment, just sneaking in the gun.

3. Can't imagine concealed carry in swim trunks. Maybe cutoff jeans. But I doubt you'd want to go swimming with a gun.
 
Then why are all those guys sticking marine spring cups in their Glocks? :rolleyes:

And, protip--depending on your locale, I can reasonably bet you that your area waterpark is populated by the same trash that pollutes your area mall. Anywhere these halfwits go, they usually pack heat--unlike you, o Law Abiding Citizen--and they love shooting each other over stupid stuff.

Your personal solution is to not go to friggin' waterparks, just like you don't go to friggin' malls. The societal solution is to let the damn police stop the guys they know are probably packing, instead of making them spend an hour and a half writing a report as to why they felt the need to stop and chat with the guy suspiciously holding up the right side of his pants while nursing a Cripwalk.

Oh, and to lock them up for longer after they catch them with a gat. Because, hell, the real reason the cops stopped That Guy is because the last three times they stopped him, they wound up arresting him for unlawful possession. They know he's an idiot, and having to arrest him every six months is a damn hassle.

The issue isn't that the perp carried a piece into the water park, mall etc. because being a perp, they'll do that anyway; but rather why anyone would have a problem with a law abiding citizen carrying one in the same venue.

Water parks are crowded, loud, dirty, and annoying and I don't like going there. I don't look that great but if I'm really getting depressed about my physique all I have to do is go to a local water park and that will make me feel like a Greek God.
