The GF wants to go to Chihuly Gardens this afternoon. There's nothing on their website about their 2A policy and the last anyone here posted about it was 2017. Back then it was just signs posted but no metal detectors. Does anyone know if that's still the case? Anyone have any experience newer than 5 years ago? Thanks.

INAL:

RCW 9.41 describes the only places you are prohibited from carrying a firearm with penalty of gross misdemeanor. These places include most public facilities such as Schools, Courthouses, and state government buildings. The exception for private businesses being bars and marijuana dispensaries.

Private businesses can prohibit you from carrying a firearm on their private premises, however the penalty for this can only be trespassing and thus require you to ask you to leave before the penalty of that crime can be levied.

In theory if you were unaware of such prohibition and the staff of the private business is unaware you are carrying paraphernalia that they prohibit on their premise, they can at best ask you to leave the premise upon discovery of you carrying such paraphernalia, and at very worst can charge you with a misdemeanor if you refuse to leave the premises.

Do with that information what you will.

So I checked on the way out and there is still a no guns sign at the entrance. You have to look for it to find it. No metal detectors or anything else. No issues.
