Greenbrier Resort gun friendly?

[SpringChicken]

Anyone know if the Greenbrier Resort restricts firearms on their property? My wife wants to do a weekend there, and I'd like to bring some piece of mind. I know they have a gun club on the resort (trap/skeet/sporting), but not sure how they stand on guests carrying.

The times I've been there shotguns have been very much in evidence. Properly handled but quite common, and it is clear the culture is welcoming and then some. As to handguns and/or CCW -- I've no experience. I expect a phone call would produce crisp answers...

Concealed means concealed. Why would they know?

They wouldn't. But if it's posted, or you're otherwise made aware of the owner's restriction, and you refuse to leave or turn over your weapon, you are guilty of trespassing.

West Virginia Code
§61-7-14. Right of certain persons to limit possession of firearms on premises.

"...Any person carrying or possessing a firearm or other deadly weapon on the property of another who refuses to temporarily relinquish possession of such firearm or other deadly weapon, upon being requested to do so, or to leave such premises, while in possession of such firearm or other deadly weapon, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon conviction thereof, shall be fined not more than one thousand dollars or confined in the county jail not more than six months, or both..."

I'll call and ask to be certain; was just curious if anyone had any personal experience with them

True. Either way, have a great trip.

Never been to the Greenbrier to be able to answer for sure, but I've spent a VAST amount of time in that area for most of the last 6 years and I've never seen a posted establishment.

I just called them and spoke to their director of security. It's not posted, it's not in writing, and they did not want to put it in writing for me, but the official resort policy (with the exception of long guns at the gun club and hunt club) is that guests are not allowed to carry either openly or concealed on their property.

"You're welcome to bring a handgun with you; however, you'll have to turn it over to security to be stored in our safe during your stay."

WTF? Yeah, and you don't know it but you're on double-secret probation also!

I have carried concealed there before (HK USP Tactical), and on multiple occasions, never a problem, and there are no signs posted prohibiting carry.

No security office for any company is going to tell you they welcome guns, it just dont happen.

Not posted=not prohibited.

count the costs. If something happens and someone sees it are you prepared to be kicked out of the early?

Which reminds me I really need to get a better conceal holster.

If im gonna get kicked out for having a legal gun, and didnt see or sign anything saying I was prohibited from carrying then my CC Company will be reversing the room charges.

Ill also be sure to show them my bare ass on the way out if they feel the need to eject a lawful carrier.

You always find a way to work your bare Ass into a thread!

Its a nice one.

Sounds like "Don't ask, don't tell" in reverse. Don't tell us you're carrying and we won't ask you to put it in the safe!
