Security at MMA match

[RevolvingGarbage]

I agree with you in so far as how I feel the spirit of the law reads. I just don't like to leave the interperetation up to liberal judges. I may tend to lean on the extra careful side but I'm ok with that.

You can be tresspassed that is correct.

Yes, but if they were going to trespass you for having a firearm they would have to know you had one, and concealed carry, when done correctly, sort of precludes that possibility. Also in order to be arrested for the trespassing, you would have to go into the establishment, be found to be carrying (or whatever they want to kick you out for), be asked to leave, and come back afterwards or refuse to leave.

I understand being careful and giving the laws a wide berth, but it helps to know all the nuances and facts about them, especially when advising others on those laws.

Hence the discussion of the metal detector. Why are you even carrying if you never plan on having to pull it out? Stuff happens - you're in a crowded place someone could bump in to you -they could see it in the bathroom and notify the proprietor.

I never said anything about this particular apsect of the conversation being illegal. Although it is typical of internet forum posters to focus on minutia instead of the meat of the post.
That being said I am a careful person and choose not to carry in establishments that hover around the grey areas or post signage forbidding it. Certainly the ops post which was a professional sporting event is a prohibited event. PERIOD!

You can argue about concerts all you want - that's not what the OP posted about.

I feel very comfortable with my knowledge regarding FL gun laws. Prove something I posted was wrong and I'll retract it. Thanks though.

You brought it up... and you have been repeatedly proved wrong.

to focus on minutia

When speaking about legalities, this is an important skill to have.

I walked through a metal detector last Saturday with my glock 19 in my hand, at the gun show - It did not go off. Security theater example 1.

Security theatre......or proof that glocks actually can pass through a metal detector undetected.......dun dun dun!

 

[bigfatdave]

The detectors were beeping and flashing, but it was near my belt buckle, so I'm assuming they assumed

So the detector went off in a common metal-bearing spot, and you kept your cool, and nobody panicked because you didn't act like a scumbag about to be busted.
Sounds like you acted like you knew what you were doing and they assumed you did ... amazing what you can fake your way through with a smile and a confident posture, isn't it?

Where????

I was referring to the minutia of the post - not the law. Jeez... perfect example.

How was I proved wrong? lol By saying that I'm careful about reading signs and knowing if the building I'm about to walk in to is a prohibited structure? I'd rather not be tresspassed out of a concert that I paid good money to get in to - My point - all concerts I attend are in bars or clubs where alcohol is served in the entire establishment ie: no firearms are allowed. List one concert you've been to and the venue and I'll bet that 99.9% of the time that firearms were either prohibited by the owner or by the law.

Again the original poster listed the event he went to as a Professional MMA fight - Florida Law explicitly listed professional sporting events as a prohibited event. You are very very wrong if you disagree on that. Show me how that's wrong and I'll change my stance.

Here in Oregon you can carry in bars, public schools and pretty much anywhere else other than the obvious federal buildings or unless they have signs cleary posted that say no firearms. Nothing would've happened other then they could ask you to leave.

"Here in OREGON..." seems to be the operative phrase.

If you guys want to debate FL law, which seems to be somewhat open to interpretations, you should probably start a thread about FL.
