On Wednesday October 25th, two separate individuals tried to bring loaded hand guns in with them into Disney parks. After much speculation and chatter it was finally revealed that not 1, but 2 people were arrested on Wednesday for trying to bring a Gun into Disney.

Baleigh Turner, 23, of Alabama was found with a gun in her back pack while entering Animal Kingdom. Michael Langston, 61, of Louisiana, declared his weapon when asked randomly to go through the metal detector at Epcot. Langston claimed he realized he left his gun in his backpack, and realized when half way to the park on the shuttle. Reports say he didn’t want to turn around, so slipped the gun into the back of his pants. Turner, claimed she had a concealed carry permit, which turned out to be expired. Regardless of permits firearms are not allowed at Disney Parks.

It’s a relief that Disney has updated their Park Security, now all guests without bags must go through the metal detector.

Blatent stupidity. There is no excuse and they should be prosecuted and not allowed in the parks ever again. I am a gun owner and have a cc permit. The laws need to be upheld and these people put on a list. No flying, no firearms, and no parks ever again.

They make announcements on the parking lot trams about selfie sticks and anything that resembles a weapon. They tell you if you have them to please return them to your vehicle as they will be confiscated. The problem is people do not pay attention to the announcements on the tram. Their own fault in my opinion. It’s called personal responsibility.
