Grand Wayne to be gun-friendly for Indiana GOP convention

The center has clarified its gun management policies, saying it must abide by a 2011 law preventing political subdivisions from regulating firearms.

The Allen County Capital Improvement Board of Managers oversees the Grand Wayne.

Several sources told The Journal Gazette Monday that the Grand Wayne, as well as Embassy Theatre and Parkview Field, were gun-free.

But Bart Shaw – executive director for Grand Wayne – said Wednesday there have been clarifications regarding the 2011 law.

“I know in the past here there was a no-gun policy, so maybe there was some confusion,” he said. “I’ve been on the job for a year and this is the first time the gun question has come up.”
