I went to the Confederate Air Force show (politically incorrect name intended) in Midland several years ago. While at the gate to get in we were all searched and women purses searched. Anyone with knives had to either take them back to their cars or throw it in the trash can. One elderly gentle man became very irate and said men carry knives and that's the way God intended. He said he fought to give us the right to carry knives if we wanted to and he walked to his car and left. If I hadn't already paid and been there with several friends and their families I probably would have left too. I walked the half mile back to my car and put it up.
