Weapons Policy
In April of 2016 Infinite Energy Center began using walk-through metal detectors to screen for weapons at their Theater and Arena. Hand held detectors may be used at their other venue buildings.
However, under Georgia Law as modified by House Bill 60, a license holder may carry in every location that is not off limits. For example, a "government building" as defined by OCGA 16-11-127 may ban weapons using limited ingress or screening.
None of the venue buildings at Infinite Energy Center qualifies as a "government building" per Attorney Lee Tucker of the Mahaffey Pickens Tucker law firm. The property falls in no other off limits category and is public property used for the enjoyment of the public. As such, Infinite Energy Center has no basis to ban legally carried weapons under state law.
According to HB60 Section 1-4 (d) When the arena is in use it falls under private property. And gives the arena the right to ban legally carried firearms.
