Of all places, I would think that this type of organization would understand what the Constitution is all about.
700 W County Road C
Roseville, MN
The signage looked proper. However, it was about six feet inside the front entrance and on a side wall not facing towards the outside. No other entrance appeard to be posted.
Who they are:(Because I didn't know.)

Their preamble Quote: To uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America; to maintain law and order; to foster and perpetuate a one hundred percent Americanism should read, we are a bunch of old snobs who only think "our" war counts and we want our bennies. I dropped from the legion and VFW a long time ago due to their attitudes.

Post 435 has a 500+ member Gun Club south of Lakeville (I serve on their BOD) and we have recruited members from other, less than gun friendly Posts.

I'm familiar with a number of Legion posts and they are all posted.l

I called the national HQ on this a while back. They stated it's up to the individual posts to decide what to do.
I brought up that these signs were inconsistent with the Legion's philosiphies, but they held firm on their position that it's the post commander's responsibility, not theirs.
I do my CCW classes in a Legion hall (not posted) and have never had any issues.

Your post used to let us camp on the adjoining land and use the rifle and skeet ranges once a year. It really was a great facility and much appreciated. (Of course, after a change in post leadership a few years back we're not welcome anymore, but hey we appreciated it while it was offered and are appreciative for what we were given).

I serve on he Gun Club's Board of Directors and this is the first time I've heard of a scout troop not being welcome at our facility.
Please email or pm me with more information about this and I'll see if I can get to the bottom of this.
