Firearms are prohibited by Federal law.

On their website, they have a Center for Education at Wolf Trap. They do have classes that adults and kids can take there. Do they consider it a school or school zone? Maybe that's the "federal law" tie-in.

Did some homework. The "credit card bill of rights" act of 2010 contained the repeal of no-gun policy in national parks, but maintains it in "visitor centers, administrative offices" and other buildings under the no guns in federal buildings law. I suppose that they may consider the concert halls "visitor centers".

So a madman could commit a massacre with impunity at Wolf Trap. Good thing to know in advance.

And you could save countless lives with your CC piece and then be charged.

At a Lyle Lovett concert?

I hardly think that that would be a likely outcome to worry about.

Suicides, yes.

Massacres not so much..folks aren't as altruistic as they used to be.

If this is your attempt at being a music critic, don't quit your day job.
