+1. I just got the same canned response. Good thing I prefer to rent movies via my cable

I have been to the movie tavern at HWY 249 and did not see a 51% sign.

I have been to the one on Airtex also ( a while back) and remember no sign there either.

No way am I going into the AIRTEX location without my gun, and do not want to go to the HWY 249 without it either.

AMC is out for me also.

Are we sure that the MOVIE TAVERN is a 51% place (it is not a bar, or at least not like any bar I have seen).

Don't they have to post that also? I remember no sign at all.

The 51% sign is behind the glass in the old ticket booth on the right as you walk toward the front door. And the place IS a bar. When you walk in the front, there is a HUGE full service bar in the lobby. Can't miss it!

I got the same "canned" response. It may make an impact?

[wileyj]

Has anyone asked to look at the liquor license for the Movie Tavern? If I remember form this board, there is red or black printing specifying if it is a 51% location.

I also received the same response. I'm going to call on Monday and see if I can get through to her. Her cell number was even listed at the bottom of the email, that surprised me a bit.

FYI. I went to the AMC in Houma, LA today and they had a ghostbusters sign with "No Weapons" beside it. Unfortunatley in Louisiana this is just as binding as a compliant 30.06 sign.

I went to the Parks Mall in Arlington last night. There is a AMC theater located in the Mall. I entered the Mall through Dicks Sporting goods, I did not see a 30.06 sign anywhere. I did not see a 30.06 sign posted at the theater, but then I didn't go up to the window, too crowded. The ticket sales and entrance are inside the mall to this particular theater.

I wasn't seeing a movie so I didn't venture to close to actually verify. Could they post in a mall that appears to allow CHL carry? I won't be going to any AMC theaters because of their idiotic policy anyway.

I haven't been to the Movie Tavern on 249 yet, nor have I been to the one on richey rd, but I have been to Alamo Drafthouse and another similar establishement on Highway 6 just south of 290. If Movie Tavern operates similar to the other places, I'd have a hard time believing they derive more than 51% of their profits from alcohol sales - add up the cost of food and tickets, and figure a lot of the times it's families in there not buying ANY alcohol, and the numbers just don't add up...

Chili's "Bar and Grill" has a bar in it too - doesn't make it a 51% establishment...

I didn't say it was a 51% because it has a bar (which it does). I said that because it has a sign. TABC makes the determination as to whether or not a business is a '51%'.

Personally, I don't care if it is or not. I went there once and won't be going back. The place was nasty.

Just because it has a sign, does not mean that the sign is valid. I don't have a horse in this race,as I had never even heard of a Movie Tavern before seeing it on this board, but some folks would probably appreciate someone following up on whether TABC considers these Movie Taverns as 51% businesses.

I live like 15 minutes away from Parks Mall. The AMC at Parks Mall is not posted 30.06. I have checked and scanned the entire premise and did not even see a ghost buster sign either. So I went in ahead with my sidearm and watch Cloverfield.
