AMSA Open Carry Policy

AMSA Open Carry Policy

1. The open display of any firearm or weapon in the vicinity of any AMSA sanctioned competition, practice, meeting or other event, other than by a licensed law enforcement officer, shall be considered a dangerous condition such as would preclude the safety of participants, officials and spectators.
2. No AMSA member association shall permit the start or continuation of any AMSA sanctioned game, practice, meeting or event if a dangerous condition exists under paragraph (a) of this Rule.
3. Any designated official of a member association, or in the absence of such, the referee, shall be the sole judge of whether an open display is “in the vicinity” of the competition, practice, meeting or other event.
4. Nothing in this rule shall be construed as limiting the referee’s authority to abandon or delay a match.
