Those websites above have had their intended effect by spreading this misinformation to the local news media that lap it up and just copy/paste without a single question on whether they have the legal authority to ban weapons on public streets, even if it is roped off or gated and ticketed. Those things are not exceptions in the law, nor should they be, as our right to self-defense on our taxpayer owned property should never be infringed. [More]
They reiterate the ban on the ticketing site.
Via email update, Evans tells me:
They’ve updated their festival’s website to remove any mention of guns or weapons, but it remains on their main website’s calendar page as of this moment, as well as the website of Destination Augusta which is the Augusta Convention and Visitors Bureau. But at least they half-way did something.
I doubt the media will update their articles to reflect this. Gotta keep the wool pulled over the eyes of the general public.
I’ve updated my article.
