Court Allows NFL Gun Ban To Continue … For Now

posted on August 20, 2015

The Minnesota Court of Appeals ruled that the National Football League’s ban on guns inside stadiums on game days could be applied to off-duty officers under the terms of the state’s Citizens’ Personal Protection Act (PPA). A county judge had previously determined that the officers had a right to carry at all times guaranteed by the PPA.

While this ruling carries a feeling of disappointment, the court was clear that this need not be the final word on whether off-duty law enforcement can carry in stadiums. The ruling pertains only to the PPA, not to any other state or federal law that could override the NFL’s ban.
