Kentucky Derby Update: Festival Places Dead Last

Chaz has left a new comment on your post "Kentucky Derby Stumbling Out of the Starting Gate":

Well, for all you cynics and surrender monkeys and quitters, some news to surprise you - the Derby Festival people caved in! They took the 'no firearms' posting off their web site and the Louisville Metro police announced that concealed carry by permit holders would be permitted in all the areas except the beer tents, exactly as allowed by the statutes.

KC3 knocked this one out of the park, and a lot of it was the pressure brought on them by people responding to our blog and all the others who pitched in to spread the word. Thanks for the support!

Good to hear that common sense and trust won out. Count this as a win.

Hmmm...didn't hear about anybody enticed into emptying a magazine into the crowd or anything, wonder what the Bradys'll say?
