More than one week out before constitutional carry takes effect in Oklahoma and the Philbrook Museum of Art has announced that they will continue to instate their no guns policy. 

"It's a policy we've had for years," said Director Scott Stulen. "A lot of our guest don't feel comfortable with it. So, it's for the betterment of all our guest. We have highly trained security that's all over the museum to make sure the property and everyone who comes is safe."

The Philbrook is a private institution, which means they can make their own restrictions. 

"We're not a government institution, we're completely legal in doing this," said Stulen. 

"The Philbrook absolutely has the right to say what goes on in their private place of business," said Tulsa Attorney, Mitchell Garrett. 

There's a section of the law under business rights that states, 'A property owner, tenant, employer, place of worship or business entity may prohibit any person from carrying a concealed or unconcealed firearm on the property. I the building or property is open to the public, the property owner, tenant, employer, place of worship or business entity shall post sins on or about the property stating such prohibition.' 

This means the museum will not face any legal issues in keeping their existing no gun policy.

"I just encourage citizens before they exercise their right for constitutional carry, to read the law and understand the law," said Garret. "Understand where it's allowed and where it's not allowed."

So, while Oklahoma is gun-friendly there are still places like the Philbrook that are not.

If you come to the Philbrook with a gun, they just ask that you keep in your car in the parking lot.
