 Check out the reviews. Cliff notes for those that don't have a facebook, this theater is doing bag checks. They found a ladies weapon, and the manager says that people who have a CHL are not welcome in his business. They do not have the proper signs posted. I understand property rights and all that, just thought I'd share. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Carry on your person. Exactly. I wont get into why purse carry is dumb as dumb can be, but if you actually carry concealed ( on a belt holster), they wont know. The bad part is, if they actually start giving "NOTICE" that CHL holders aren't welcome, it's a trespass issue. Curious how long nonsense like that lasts though in practice. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: thread title is BS. not turning away people with CHL, turning away people with guns. Just called them, and a woman said no weapons. However, the reviews say a male manager was turning away people who had CHL's, not telling them to put them in their car but refusing them altogether. I can't link the facebook pic that I tried to that makes this clear. |

I still maintain that it was the GUN that caused refusal of entry, not the legal ability to posses one or are you saying that someone was asking every patron if they have a CHL, and all affirmative answers were told to leave? |

When ChL first started,I use to carry a form in my back pocket that I presented to business owners/managers I knew who posted their property with the 30.06 signs. The form simply stated 'Before I spend my money in this establishment, the owner/Manager, by posting no CHL allowed in the store, Takes responability for my safety. if I am injured while in or about your establishment unarmed, the business will pay for all medical bills and disability bills resulting from the above policy.' sign here........... Worked at a few places where I shopped. Others.....did not get my money or anyone else's money and are either smaller in size or out of business. |

The place stays packed. Blows my mind. This probably won't affect them to be honest. |

Have you ever *really* searched a purse? Two ways to do it. 1) X-ray machine. Speedy, but not cost effective for a theater. 2) Empty the entire purse. Yeah, go ahead. May God have mercy on your soul. |
