The law, which was set to take effect Jan. 1, would have prohibited people from carrying concealed guns in 26 places, including public parks, churches, banks and zoos.
Proper training is important, and so is making sure that firearms aren’t in places they really have no place in being. In fact proper training should include stuff in regards to not having firearms in places they shouldn’t be. A law like this is because a lot of people don’t get proper training.
Firearms have no business being in a lot of places.
The law included all daycare and school grounds, college campuses, government and judicial buildings, medical facilities, public parks and playgrounds, correctional institutions, public transit, public demonstrations and gatherings, athletic and professional sporting facilities, public libraries, amusement parks, zoos and museums, places of worship, banks, polling places, gambling establishments, any place where alcohol is sold and any other privately owned commercial establishment that is open to the public — unless the business owner put up a sign saying guns are OK.

That’s not banning you from having a firearm, “anywhere,” it’s a ban on having one in specific locations. There’s no reason to carry a gun into a daycare, there’s no reason to carry a gun into a hospital, there’s no reason to carry a gun into a zoo, etc.
So you think the best way to defend yourself is with an object with the sole purpose of murder? Your first reaction goes to whelp, guess I’m killing someone today?
Yes, and I’m 100% sure you’d feel that way too if someone ever tried to kill you or someone you love. Just because you don’t like thinking about it doesn’t mean that bad things don’t happen to good people.
If you want fun go look up honey badger in zoos on YouTube. Mother truckers are hand raised by humans and they still give you the impression they are planning ways to eat everyone.
I think if you need a gun to visit a zoo you are either doing it wrong or going to far far more interesting zoos than I have gone too. Some of the lambs getting too frisky at the petting zoo? Maybe the giraffes are getting ideas?
A few of those are slightly more problematic than others. The biggest thing is that by combining all of them it effectively bans licensed firearms almost everywhere.
For instance, you can’t take transit, but you also can’t fuel up your car because they sell beer at gas stations.
“A well regulated militia…”

Sorry poor people, no self defense for you
There are other ways of defending yourself without a gun
You can use all sorts of things as a screwdriver, but you’ll get better results using the right tool for the job.

there are definitely good reasons to have a gun at a zoo.
Not by patrons of the zoo
You aint taking Harambeii out with whatever pistol you carry
I won’t dictate how you keep yourself safe. kindly extend the same courtesy.
Are you sure about that? You seem exactly like the type of person to dictate how someone keeps themselves safe or healthy.
I’m an anarchist. I believe you are capable of making your own decisions.
