Some friends are taking me to a Dbacks game tomorrow.  Can I get through with my CCW piece or do I need to leave it at home?

Anyone know if there are metal detectors or pat downs?

If you have to carry in violation of the rules, don't feel bad when they bust you and you loose your CCW.

I was there a few years ago and didn't see any metal detectors or pat downs.

Why don't you explain to us how I'll get busted and lose my CCW.  We're all waiting.









 



And my rules say I carry everywhere that there's not a metal detector.  That's the only rule I care about.

I know they have metal detectors at Phoenix Mercury games now ( don't hassle me it was for a kids birthday party). I had to have my wife bury my Kershaw in the bottom of her purse so they couldn't see it.

It is one thing to be asked to leave Costco or a restaurant because you have your gun on you. It is quite a different story to carry into a large venue like a major sporting event with lots of news and police around. That is bad PR. If you don't feel safe going with out your gun then just don't go.

I don't think they have detectors at BOB.  But let's assume they have metal detectors.  If they do you just walk up and say, I need to check in a pistol.  They will tell you they can't and then you'll just have to walk back to your vehicle and store it.  No biggie.  It's totally worth it to carry 100% of the time.  After all, what would the President do.

I assume they have a license to serve alcohol, so the special "guns in bars" law would presumably apply, with the elevated criminal penalties for non-compliance (not just being asked to leave). However, for this legal provision to kick in, they would have to post the approved "no guns" sign near their liquor license, and you may legally enter the premises for a short time to verify that the it is indeed properly posted.

No snitch boxes nor pat downs at Chase field. They do look through purses, backpacks, bags, etc though.

Seems they care more about a concealed bud light bottle than a CCW.

Apparently some 11'ers are thirteening now as well.  Amazing how when you ask for a simple, factual answer you get more of the internet Dr. Phil's than you get answers.  I'm starting to get annoyed at people who have nothing of value to add to a conversation but still feel the need to open their cake hole.

That's what GD's for!
As mentioned, was there earlier this year, think they just check purses and bags. No opened containers, etc.
I did hear that metal detectors were to be installed in many MLB parks by the start of the '15 season, including the D'backs. Not sure if that is still on track?

None that I know. I have been given a simple pat down for a AZ v LA game. It was only an outer waist/pocket/outer leg pat. If you are decent at this game you'll walk in with your weapon of choice.

Carry everywhere.

They do have some guards with wands at random points. Easy enough to just go to another gate though as they're not wanding 100% of the attendee's.



I've never felt like I was doing anything wrong carrying at D-Backs games.

Because you weren't. There is nothing wrong with having the ability to defend yourself. The only thing that is wrong are the people who will chastise you or try to stop you from having that ability.

If "metal detector presence dictates" is your only rule then why bother getting a ccw?
