Default Wanding patrons at a theater

So, a new experience in the world of concealed carry.

If you go to NYC you know that every building has a metal detector and every event has one, too. Their paranoia has no limits.

But that's not true everywhere - yet. But we are working on it.

Last night I went to a show at a venue that I will not name that has no signs about guns and has never evidenced any concern about concealed firearms. They still have no signs. But they had two police officers in the lobby and 5 or 6 employees wanding folks as they walked in. Wanding everyone and checking purses, etc. Very New York-like.

Of course I had a handgun with me so I was not sure what to do; the car wasn't that far away if I had to leave and toss the gun into the trunk. But this just seems different so I approached a police officer and explained my dilemma.

"Are you law enforcement?"

"No - CHL".

"Oh, okay, stand in this line here and after she wands you go to that lady over there and she will take you over to that man standing over there....."

Okay, whatever. I do it and when I get to "man standing over there" he has a kind of a notebook open and he asks me to put my license number in column 1, my name in column 2, where I will be sitting, etc., and that was that. "Have a good time, enjoy the show, yadda blah".

I kind of liked that system. Where they allow guns but want to know who has them and where they are - works for me!

Sounds like a good policy to adopt everywhere instead of gun free zones.

I wouldn't patronize a place like that. I'd show my license to the police, but that's it. There is no movie so entertaining that I can't wait until it's on Pay Per View.

That was interesting to hear. I haven't been to a movie theater in or around Houston in many years so I now wonder is this happening in or around Houston.
I don't know how I could tell the guy over there where I would be sitting till I was inside the theater though.

I do think I could probably leave my gun in my car and still feel safe doing so going into that theater. But then I thought what about when I was leaving the theater and I didn't have my gun for protection on me. A real nut job knowing the theater scans for guns might think those coming out of theater could be easy pickings. LOL But that might cause him, like in your case, to be surprised by someone having a gun.

Stopping gun violence, mass shootings, could be greatly slowed without to much effort but that obviously isn't the desire wanted. I would feel much safer going into a theater that protects people like the one you described. Same thing in schools.....it is about time schools weren't safe zones for shooters. Some people just can't get past ignorance I guess.

Spent 1 week per month for 2 straight years in Manhattan.
Not by choice but by job requirement.

Seen all of NY I ever need to see.
Done all of NY I ever need to do.

Nice place to visit (for a weekend) wouldn't wanta live there.

Glad you had a good experience......

I'm not comfortable with that. I carry concealed because I want to keep a low profile. I don't want anyone to know I'm armed. I can see a procedure like the one you went through making me stand out, possibly even "marked" by fellow patrons as being armed. Also worrisome is my personal information being collected by a private party.

I do have a bit of a conundrum with theater-going. I enjoy going to the theater to watch movies, but the last hold-out near me finally put up "no guns" signs, and they carry the force of law. While I won't say I'll never go to the theater again, I will likely be much more circumspect with regards to what movies I'll watch and when since I can't carry there.

Permits issued outside of NYC are not valid in NYC unless a special license is issued granting validity. ...

How did you pull this off ?????????????

First, it was live theater. Not a movie. Which explains how they knew where I was sitting.

Second, most folks paid ZERO attention to what was happening except to themselves and, believe it or not, folks are so inured to searches these days that it was a no-brainer for all of them.

Third, they didn't take my address.

Fourth, if I was a patron I'd be happy to know there were armed patrons if needed. Being "marked" is irrelevant to me plus, really, this is Texas, nobody cares as much as you might think, even the anti-gunners.
Assuming they paid enough attention to realize what was happening.

Fifth, my profile was scarcely raised one iota. I didn't care one bit about it and neither did anyone else.

Sixth - in case I was unclear:

I used NYC as an example. I was not in NY, I was in Dallas.

However, I did pull that off once, in 1999, in NYC. I don't care to get that lucky again so I never carry a gun to NYC the way I used to.

NO that is complete BS. Taking names and numbers is what Hitler did. I have no problem showing my concealed permit, but my cooperation ends there. If that is not codified in state or federal law, then it must be stated on the ticket stub as a defacto contract to use there facilities and you need to know ahead of time and make the choice when you buy the ticket.

Screw that!

Nahhhh.....it's just theater security and, REMEMBER, it is private property and a private property owner can do whatever it wants to secure the property - anything legal is permitted.

And Hitler didn't take names and numbers. He ASSIGNED numbers and TOOK AWAY names. Big difference.

I am referring to EVERY SINGLE MAJOR OFFICE BUILDING in NYC - MANHATTAN - and ALMOST every tourist locale as well. Let me note that the office buildings in NYC that I tend to walk into when I am there are not little trashy buildings in Hell's Kitchen, they are modern, up to date business offices, sometimes with tourist attractions included, sometimes not.

Since I don't go into office buildings in other locations in NYC's five boroughs I cannot speak to Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, or the Bronx. But I'd wager it is the same.

No conspiracy - not at all. I have no reason to go to California or Massachusetts so I do not do so. I am in NYC three or four times a year. I don't make this stuff up.

Keep in mind that when enough people so readily consent to this kind of "processing"...then over time it becomes the norm. Norms don't last forever...so what concessions will we make in the future? Maybe have to wear a brightly colored sticker so we can readily be identified in a crowd? In short, it is still the old "give em and inch and they'll take a mile." JMHO of course.

I think that American society is WAY WAY WAY past the point where readily consenting to these types of procedures is not considered "the norm". They have already taken "the mile" in the name of security. Zillions of us take off our shoes to pass through airport security, we are "wanded" there as well, or go through machines that xray us. Zillions of us get wanded or go through metal detectors in every major sports arena in the country. We get wanded or go through metal detectors at state fairs, amusement parks, and a host of other venues. Nobody complains, nobody blinks - everyone just grins and bears it.

So, if it concerns anyone that a theater would wand its patrons for security purposes you're living in the past. They check for all sorts of weapons, knives, guns, and bombs. Etcetera. IT IS DEFINITELY THE NORM.

Talking & EVERYONE IN TEXAS...

ALL TEXANS have an 8" belt buckle & a 4" heel on their boots. SORRY NO PROOF WHATSOEVER for that statement, but I NEVER lie. If getting wanded was such an outrage, why enter? I would have left.

There must have been a specific threat at that theater.

No theater could afford to wand and check every patron all day long.

Theaters operate on small margins and are barely viable already.

After 9/11 movie theaters in my area had armed guards doing bag checks. That didn't last very long.

I cannot explain why the theater did this but it wasn't costly to them because this theater has excess people, anyway.

As for this:

I never said it was an outrage. I was amused by the procedure and didn't care at all. Had the LEO said I couldn't bring my weapon in then I would have gone back to the car with it. It's not that big a deal and it is, as noted before, private property and the property owner's prerogative.

There are movie theaters in Houston that do not have 30.06(no concealed carry) or 30.07(no open carry) signs posted and you can carry in those, there are others that do have the signs and no firearms allowed, you just need to know the situation where you are going. I go to the ones that I can carry and do not patronize those that do not allowe CC. Really in Texas you can CC in most places that you go, just know where you can’t.

Not a lawyer, but I would be willing to bet a property owner could not do ANYTHING they want to secure a property where they have invited the public or sold licences for a performance. As stated earlier terms of the licence to attend a performance are printed on the ticket, so if they take your Super 8 equipment they are likely on solid legal ground. I have seen many businesses sued (and lose) over restrictions unilaterally imposed. But you will miss tonites performance.

It's one of those things, TSP. We're not a protected class, and (I'm not trying to make a 2A rabblerouse here) most people just view it as "leave your gun at home". It's just a thing you can either bring or not bring, not a question of how we identify ourselves.

What's not understood is that for a lot of gun-folk, it's exactly that. I can no more change my identity as a "gun person" than I can cease to be male, or a sarcastic smart-***. Shooting and shooting sports are too connected to how I think about myself. If a lot of your favorite memories growing up involve firearms, you can't simply choose to erase them. So many of Same thing comes up periodically on other forums: "I'm dating this girl, but she hates the fact that I own guns, and doesn't want me to carry or have them around". Then she doesn't like you, dude, she likes the version of you she wants to create.

So if someone were to claim the practice is discriminatory, non-gun-folk (and a pretty hefty portion of gun owners, I bet) would dismiss them as whackjobs, when discrimination is exactly what it feels like. That's why when you enact a law that criminalizes law-abiding gun owners, people react strongly--because you've hurt them, and you've made it personal.

Also, the above argument about identity has a pretty high success rate when talking with regular folks and mildly anti-gun types.

Not just what Wise A says but 2 additional issues.

People wearing RC Cola shirts, or not wearing neckties are not protected classes, but years ago there was a children's concert at a ice rink in the town I lived in. I forget either Pepsi or Coke were major sponsors. The rink management denied entry to people wearing shirts that had the name, logo, whatever of thier compeditor. Made the news.

Of course there was no boilerplate on the ticket prohibiting said shirts. Rink was sued and lost. In similar situations where people have not been seated at events they bought licences (tickets) for, in my imperfect recollection if it is not illegal, and not printed on the ticket or openly displayed such as the no CCW signs mentioned management looses.

As a practical matter your carry weapon is safest on your person, not in a car that can be burguled. Also you are safer not being known to be unarmed because of someones asine policy.

I have mixed feelings about that. I have carried into concerts and other live performances locally. No signs means I'm good to go.

Local movie theaters all have the 30.07 sign, and some have the 30.06 as well.

Your experience reminds me a bit of the Texas State Capitol building. There is a separate entrance for those who are licensed to carry. We bypass the metal detector, and a state trooper swipes your license to make sure it's valid, then he says go ahead, sir.

I would do an about face and not return to that establishment. I have done many times. Eventually they will suffer the economic losses from folks walking off when they realize that practices like this suck, and only hurt the law abiding.

As I recall, the first wands I saw being used were at a bar/club with a "rough" clientele, app late 90's/ early 2000's??? Many other places to spend my money.

I applaud your calm logic, Yoda.

The others' comments haven't swayed me in either direction. Talk's cheap, and I believe some missed the "live performance" bit.

If I were in your situation I would have done the same as you. Your observation that the other patrons didn't know you were singled out or why is typical of today's society. Everyone's self-importance seems to reign supreme.

MY Wife and I have attended a number of movies in pre-view status. Some wanded people and forbid bringing cell phones into the theater to prevent bootleg copies being made. I spoke with their security and when they wanded me it didn't go off. Had it gone off they indeed would have found my gun and badge. I did go to my car and locked our phones up, I'm not giving my phone (they put them in paper bags) or gun to anyone. It seems that their wands were strictly for RF (electronics), not metal.

Not really, he said it was a live show where he bought tickets in advance. So they already had his money. If he left willingly, he forfeits that money.

$4 for a small Coke and $4 for a small popcorn. I do wonder how they can get by.

Collecting of names of people who have CCW permits. What is going to happen to that list? Who will be able to gain access to that information? I think in many states this is protected information, not public and not for purposes of identification.

Dick's/Field & Stream does the same thing around here. Our fine state was supposed to build a NICS-like system for ammo purchases, which they never did. So D/F&S took it upon themselves to log, for some ungodly reason, pistol permit numbers with handgun ammo sales.

They don't log anything for long-gun ammo sales, even when it's a pistol-caliber cartridge, because the clerks are poorly-trained and, I think, more interested in not creating problems for themselves than obeying their corporate masters.

What possible reason could they have for knowing who and where they are? It's not like they're coming to you for help if something goes wrong. So, I ask again, what value to them is this?

This is how the incrementalism starts. They make it commonplace to have inspections when not needed. We comply because we want to see the show and it becomes normal. Make no mistake, this is not normal...yet. Just because you've seen it a lot doesn't make it normal for the rest of us.

This is an important point. Cars at events, movies, theater, sports, etc., are especially soft targets. The thieves know they have at least two hours of uninterrupted time with your car.

You may think that no one is watching, but the thief is. Here are two scenarios:
  • The thief will see that you went in, got wanded and decided to go back to your car. Now they can make an educated guess that you've placed a gun in your car. This increases the chances of your car being burgled.
  • You play the game and keep your gun with you. Like it or not, you're a marked individual. Prior to the inspection you were just a patron. After, you're a patron with a gun to anyone who's paying attention. If a bad guy is watching, they now know you're a valuable target. Prior to the search, any attack on you as an individual would be random and they would HOPE you had something valuable. Now they KNOW you have something valuable i.e. the gun.
Both of these scenarios increase your chances of being a target.


No, I don't like it at all. I'm not concerned at being wanded because I'm legal, but going through a special line and being interrogated is not acceptable.

No conspiracy - not at all. I have no reason to go to California or Massachusetts so I do not do so. I am in NYC three or four times a year. I don't make this stuff up.
Backpeddling from EVERY building to only EVERY "modern" up to date office type buildings. Gee, there are only how many thousands of them? AND they were only too happy to let you examine the blue prints, speak with the architects, and divulge their security systems with you. AND you managed to do all that in SUCH A SHORT TIME. Simply amazing. Some may call it UNBELIEVEABLE.

Where are they that cheap? Last time we went to the local theatre I got popcorn and 2 drinks. Handed them a 20 waiting for my change and the kid finally said, "I need 2 more dollars" on a positive note they used to have the anti bill of rights signs, but enough of us went to another theater and dropped off ticket stubs with the manager that after a couple of years they took down the signs.

Last night I went to a show at a venue that I will not name that has no signs about guns and has never evidenced any concern about concealed firearms. They still have no signs. But they had two police officers in the lobby and 5 or 6 employees wanding folks as they walked in. Wanding everyone and checking purses, etc. Very New York-like.

Of course I had a handgun with me so I was not sure what to do; the car wasn't that far away if I had to leave and toss the gun into the trunk. But this just seems different so I approached a police officer and explained my dilemma.

"Are you law enforcement?"

"No - CHL".

"Oh, okay, stand in this line here and after she wands you go to that lady over there and she will take you over to that man standing over there....."

Okay, whatever. I do it and when I get to "man standing over there" he has a kind of a notebook open and he asks me to put my license number in column 1, my name in column 2, where I will be sitting, etc., and that was that. "Have a good time, enjoy the show, yadda blah".

I kind of liked that system. Where they allow guns but want to know who has them and where they are - works for me!

Find a different venue! No one's business if I'm carrying!

Y'all are making a mountain out of a molehill here but I like it. Fun discussion!

First, if you don't like a little "puffery" in your conversations then never again can you say that you do something "all the time". Because you cannot possible do something specific "all the time". Sometimes, you're doing something else.

Second, when I say "every" here it means every office building I have walked into. When you walk into enough of them it is easy to generalize that EVERY high dollar office building is doing this. You can bet that lower quality buildings don't do it but if you do not understand the mentality of New Yorkers you are missing the point. They live in a kingdom - they are subjects to a king, whether it is the Mayor or the Governor. Everything they do is scrutinized or taxed or both. And the folks in charge have a HIGH LEVEL of paranoia. So when I say "every" maybe it's puffery but don't for a minute think it's far from the truth. it is not.

Within reason you would be incorrect. I am a lawyer so please factor in some 4 decades of experience and knowledge. There is a world of difference between T-shirts with logos and SECURING A PRIVATE BUILDING. A private property owner can do ANYTHING legal to secure his property - and all this theater was doing was making sure that they knew who had firearms and where they were sitting. It is their right - and private property rights reign supreme in these circumstances.

I didn't care. You have a right to care - and you have a right to leave. And never go back! But you do not have a right to object to it.

Surprise surprise, IAHunter! That is EXACTLY what they would find. And they were asking police officers to do EXACTLY what they were asking licensees to do - I mean exactly as in precisely as in 100% the same. They asked if I was a police officer. I said that in my original post.

Remember the book I mentioned?

When I went over to the "guy" there were three entries when I was done, looking very much like this:

1234567 Joe Dokes Seat A1B1

PO Stan Stanislaus Smith Seat Z1X2

9876543 ISCS Yoda Seat Y7G5

Anyone wanna guess what PO stood for?
