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. :twocents:

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. 8) :)
-
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 go great with that bow!

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.......... :dunno: :)
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. :twocents:
-
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?
-
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.
-
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.......
-
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.
-
I like to see the 3d stuff
won't put up with a bag search though
-
Only 2 things can happen. one is they ask you to leave. two is you make a scene and then they might tresspass you. i guess a third would be an extreme scene where your being a complete a$$hat about it and they call the police.
your not breaking a law though by trying to get in concealed only violating a businesses policy. so if you get caught then politely leave.
:twocents:

And find a better way to carry. If that high school kid picked you out, anyone could. :twocents:
-
After they refused us entrance, I saw the tiny print near the cashiers hole. My lawyer friend says tough *censored* for the liberals, they're losing money and people are losing their lives because of this stupid rule. But, he said it's their property and can do whatever they want. I guess losing money and possibly nearly 10,000 movie goers (HW members) is better than protecting ourselves. To hell with them anyhow !!!

Well said campmeat! :yeah: :tup:

I never even thought of that, but I bet that's true.

the funny thing is every mass public shooting since the 50's with the exception of 1 has been in a location that carrying a weapon is not permitted..... :dunno:

just don't carry it in your purse...thats all :dunno:

We stopped going to Costco for the very same reason. Just added one more to the list.

Here's the NRA ILA list of businesses which have some sort of anti-gun policy.

Nice List.
Perhaps we should start writing that long list of anti-gun organizations, individuals and "celebrities", corporations, and publication and media outlets. They appear to have signed on to Eric Holder's anti-gun brainwashing campaign. They pump out anti-gun, brainwashing propaganda.
Perhaps we should ask all of them to really consider what made us a free nation and what keeps us a free nation. The Second Amendment is probably the most important amendment in the Bill of Rights. Think about what ensures our Constitution will remain intact along with all of the rights and freedoms it guarantees.

I'm not sure what your expected result would be. They're private citizens and they're self-righteous. The best we can do is educate each other to try and not give business to the corporations who have these policies. :twocents:

Good point.
It is very frustrating to see corporations take these positions as if their entire workforce agrees with them, which obviously is not true. The major publication and media outlets that use their ability to influence the population with propaganda is equally frustrating.
Ok ... I guess I was just venting a bit, but also reminding people of the vast amounts of propagnda that is continuously disseminated. It is also good for all to see Eric Holder make these statements to clearly see how he operates; telling the truth doesn't appear to be in the cards.

Yeah, that's why I like that ILA list. It helps me make smarter choices.

It's not a corporate policy. You've got one liberal running around making up rules, as far as i can see. Someone should've written a letter.

The reply from Regal on my email stating that because of their policy, I no longer feel safe in their theaters:

You bet, people, who aren't into, Fanny Pacs, don't have a clue what's in them.. I wear it when we go to Spokane in the summer. Sometimes I wear it around the house when my wife isn't home, kinda like Bruce Jenner when his wife wasn't home...geeze !! :chuckle: :chuckle:

LOL yeah us too. We went to Regal before we knew that was their policy, we were meeting some friends. It'll be the last time we go. They asked to look in my wife's purse, she just laughed and let them peek inside. As we were walking away my wife chuckled and mentioned how awkward that would have been if she had actually kept her gun in her purse. ;)

I prefer AMC anyway. :D

Google friend or foe. It's a website that keeps a running list of pro and anti gun businesses. If you sign up, you can add your experiences at local businesses.
