AMC Theatres respond to complaints about CHL restrictions

[TxCommish]

The sign is either valid or it isn't. Nothing to see here folks, move along please.

"HEY HEY LOOK AT ME!!! I GET TO CARRY A GUN!!! YESSSSSSS AIN'T IT COOOOL?"

I really don't understand why some people go out of their way to mention or point out indirectly that they have a CHL and are armed. I mean I see it all the time. Calling to hotels before they check in and asking if they are "gun friendly". Calling around to apartments and asking the same. Emailing big corporations and saying they will sue if they don't take down the (non-applicable) sings. Whatever happened to concealed means concealed? Loose lips sink ships, that sort of thing. I see it all the time with people who say "Yeah I totally chewed out this manager at XYZ bussiness over there sign saying how wrong it was. They didn't even know it's not even legally binding." If it's toothless just walk by the dang thing! Why must you go out of your way to not only make a "point" but also expose the fact, even indirectly, that you are carrying.

People we've made great advancements in the right to carry guns in the last 20 some odd years. However I don't think shaking your finger in someone's face is the way to change their minds. Oh and suing them for something like enforcing a policy on their own property sure isn't either. You don't like it? Don't go there. If you must contact them that's all you need to say. Everything after that is just speculation (I may get hurt, you may get sued, criminals may violate it anyhow). Businesses as big as AMC deal in quantifiable numbers ONLY. Therefore the best argument to make is with your wallet.

You're entitled to your opinion. Some people disagree with you. Personally, I prefer not to advertise the fact that I'm armed. I figure it's nobody's business but mine. But I can understand why some people insist on pushing the issue, just as I can understand why some liberals are outspoken and strident. That's just the nature of humanity. And the truth is, the strident ones often lead the way toward new laws. Perhaps that isn't the way it should be, but it's certainly the way that it is.

I wish that people would stop making a stink about it there. The signs they have posted are clearly not valid, are to small and are not at the entrances. If you buy at one of the Kiosks, you never even pass or see the sign. If too many people make a stink, they might just find out that they are not in compliance with the law and post legal signs.

I really don't care. I just wanted to make the nodding head pyramid.

The sign at my AMC Theater is invalid. I ignore it. I certainly don't point it out to anybody.

Yep. This is what I do also.

I'd honestly rather see places that have clearly stated that they don't want CHL's on their property to post valid signs to avoid the constant ambiguity and possibility of someone incorrectly getting harassed or taking a ride downtown over a legal technicality regarding signage that seems to be misunderstood by property owners and police. Look at the abundance of airport and mall threads for a good example.

I'm not going to give them any business, regardless.

Not only is this silly, it's taking up valuable time and thought that should be given to CCW in the Post Office, drinking and CCW and last but not least, how to go to the bathroom with your CCW.

Let's get serious, people.

It's like the song that never ends. Yes it goes on and on my friends...
I think I need more coffee.... Those little nodders are putting me to sleep. Rather hypnotic, really.
