Regal cinemas gun policy

[Atroxus]

Apparently Regal is not only forbidding legal carry in their establishments they are also now searching purses for weapons on entry. Below is a pic of one of their signs and link to their facebook page with tons of complaints about the searches and gun policy.

They are a private business. It is their right. Just don't go.

It is a private business, but maybe if enough gun owners express our displeasure over this they might reconsider the policy.

I saw a post on another forum that brought up what I consider a good point. If a business is going to tell customer's and/or employees that they cannot be armed for defense, they should be liable to provide adequate security to keep those unarmed customer's and/or employees safe.

This didn't work so well for the patrons in Aurora, CO now, did it? Gun-free zones. What a really dumb, liberal, feel-goody policy.

Searching purses for guns?  Yeah, right.  They are just using that as an excuse to look for candy.

Bad guys love gun free zones.

Netflix has no such policy for watching movies in your own home. You can have a tank with you if you like. The candy is cheaper and you can watch all the movies you want for 8.99/month. And there's no jerk behind you with a cell phone!

It would be nice to have a Tank while watching a movie, but it might be hard to see the screen of my 27" TV from the Tank out in my yard..........     

I only go to movie theaters maybe once a year at the most.  And that is when I think a movie would be better on a big screen than my small screen at home.  But, I probably won't even go that often anymore if these moron theater owners continue with their anti-gun policies.

So....hear is a question for all you legally minded members.   If this sign is posted and you are caught with a concealed weapon, what will happen.  Will they just tresspass you?  So you cannot come back on the premise or will you potentially be in more trouble with the law? 

[h20hunter]

I would assume I would see the sign and simply skip the place and move on. If I was to push it and carry concealed anyway I would simply apologize (for getting caught) and be on my way.

I would think that if you make a scene it is one story and if you simply agree to leave quietly knowing you are in the wrong it would be a non issue.

[Curly]

I would think they would simply ask you to leave.  Might become a bit of a problem if they kick you out after you've already bought a movie ticket and they refuse to refund your money.......

[JimmyHoffa]

I think trespass is one of the options.  Maybe they could find something more extreme.  Private property/business so I don't see a problem--they just lose certain kinds of business.
