Non-Gun-Friendly Movie Theater

[fightingquaker13]

What is Texas law on CCW and postings?  In Minnesota, if we have it concealed and they don't know it is no harm, no foul.  If they see it and ask you to leave, you must leave.  Key is they must know if you are carrying.  If you are carrying, and they ask you if you are, and you say no, they can't search.

I got my Tx. CHL the first year it was passed (mid nineties). The way the law was explained to us in the course was that those signs WERE legally binding. If you carried you were trespassing and if you shot somebody, even if the shooting was justified, it could get complicated. I don't know whether this was correct and it was  years ago, but that's what they told us. The advice was to leave it in the car.

I don't pay any attention to those stupid signs, unless they pat you down or make you walk through a metal detector, how are they to know if you are carrying?

Bingo ! Plus you get that really good feeling when you do something an anti gun person doesn't want you to do! Like Chris Matthews when he got "that thing running up his leg" everytime he hears Hussein.     Bill T.

From what I have heard, the Texas 30 06 law specifies the dimensions colors wording etc for the signs that ARE legally binding, if the sign does not match EXACTLY those requirements then it is worthless..

Okay but what are the penalties for violating the 30.06 signs?

So, last night the family and I went to see Avatar in 3D.  And, despite some of the overt political overtones, it was quite an awesome production.  But hey, make believe is what most movies are all about, right?

Having said that, this is not about the movie, but rather the theater, which to my disappointment is a non-gun-friendly esabilshment. (TX 30.06 sign clearly posted at the entrance: no concealed carry even with a permit)

The wife and I were thinking about going to see this movie so I want to know if you would go see it again disregarding the CCW signs problem thinking more of the political overtones issue.

They can ask you to leave, if you refuse THEN you can be charged with trespass and god only knows what else, and you lose you CHL.

"Hurt Locker" comes out on DVD Jan. 10th. I'll get it to be sure. The DVD is cheaper than both of us going to the theater.  Bill T.

Your right and I'm digging the Blue Ray player I just got. It's really making the surround sound system come alive. But some movies are best viewed on a 30' screen. Not my 34" screen. I got the as many as you can watch 1 at a time in 7 days deal for $10 from blockbuster for the weekend I'm on #4 now 5 days to go!

In Texas, if They find out they can ask you to leave. You don't leave, they can call police, who will ask you to leave. If you don't leave then, you're arrested for criminal trespass with a concealed handgun, or something to that effect. At least that's what they tell me in the CHL class. As far as I know, AMC theaters don't have metal detectors. In fact last time I went to the one in Mesquite, that's 20 minutes from my house, I carried, and I didn't see any sign. Well there may have been a "Gunbuster" sign. It's been a couple years.
