Is this legit?
The wife and I went to Harrah's casino a few weeks ago and I snapped this pic at the door. Is this correct? I mean would it stand legally if someone took a ccw inside? Knife? I would like ya'll's opinions. It was just inside the main entrance.

Don't know if the law says the sign has to be standardized...
I'd say if pressed, the casino would win
Its just another reason to NEVER go to a casino

I when i work at a casino for a short time it was my understanding that it is against federal gaming law to bring firearms in to a casino.

Somebody was giving you bad information. There is no such federal law.

I've looked for these signs @ Hard Rock and the Beau, didn't see any, so I carried on with my carry on.

(13) No license issued pursuant to this section shall authorize any person to carry a concealed pistol or revolver into any place of nuisance as defined in Section 95-3-1, Mississippi Code of 1972; any police, sheriff or highway patrol station; any detention facility, prison or jail; any courthouse; any courtroom, except that nothing in this section shall preclude a judge from carrying a concealed weapon or determining who will carry a concealed weapon in his courtroom; any polling place; any meeting place of the governing body of any governmental entity; any meeting of the Legislature or a committee thereof; any public park unless for the purpose of participating in any authorized firearms-related activity; any school, college or professional athletic event not related to firearms; any portion of an establishment, licensed to dispense alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises, that is primarily devoted to dispensing alcoholic beverages; any portion of an establishment in which beer or light wine is consumed on the premises, that is primarily devoted to such purpose; any elementary or secondary school facility; any junior college, community college, college or university facility unless for the purpose of participating in any authorized firearms-related activity; inside the passenger terminal of any airport, except that no person shall be prohibited from carrying any legal firearm into the terminal if the firearm is encased for shipment, for purposes of checking such firearm as baggage to be lawfully transported on any aircraft; any church or other place of worship; or any place where the carrying of firearms is prohibited by federal law. In addition to the places enumerated in this subsection, the carrying of a concealed pistol or revolver may be disallowed in any place in the discretion of the person or entity exercising control over the physical location of such place by the placing of a written notice clearly readable at a distance of not less than ten (10) feet that the "carrying of a pistol or revolver is prohibited." No license issued pursuant to this section shall authorize the participants in a parade or demonstration for which a permit is required to carry a concealed pistol or revolver.
Casinoes MAY be defined by the prtion that disallows carry in places where alcohol is consumed on premises.
Would be up to a JUDGE to determine since "drinks" are consumed in all areas of the building, not just on floor.
The casino is "private property".
They have the right to disallow carry.
I do know the "law" says the sign should say "carrying of a pistol or revolver is prohibited." but the "law" also defines "deadly weapons" as more than just guns.
I think they mean no guns, no knives, NO "WEAPONS" of ANY sort.
It's their building.
They have the right to "refuse service" for any reason, and to have folks "removed" if they choose.
I never worried about it.
Never felt like I was in any danger at a casino.
