2 charged with trying to bring guns into Disney parks
Updated 4:12 pm, Wednesday, October 26, 2016
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) Authorities in Florida say two guests who tried to carry guns into Walt Disney World theme parks have been charged with carrying a concealed firearm.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office says 61-year-old Michael Langston of Louisiana was arrested at Epcot, and 23-year-old Baleigh Turner of Alabama was arrested at Disney's Animal Kingdom a short time later on Monday.
Arrest reports say Langston revealed his gun after a Disney security officer selected him for a random metal detector screening, while Turner's weapon turned up in a search of her backpack, and neither had a valid concealed weapons permit. Both were released from jail, where records didn't list attorneys.
Disney bans guns from its parks, and even guests with weapons permits can face trespassing charges.

If you are legally carrying, the most Disney (or any other private property owner) can do is ask you to leave.
