That's a sure way to make their theatres a magnet for suicidal mass murderers. They just love an auditorium full of helpless sheeple.

Let us move on to the crux of the grievance then. What does a sign on the front door do that states "no weapons"? What does such a policy accomplish?
Nothing.
It alienates and discourages law-abiding citizens which took the time to properly apply for a concealed carry permit to either leave the firearm in their motor vehicle (where it can be stolen by a car thief or punk breaking in looking for quick loot like sunglasses, CDs, car stereos), or it encourages law-abiding citizens with concealed carry permits to take their business elsewhere. Is this honestly what you are trying to accomplish?
This policy does one of two things: it drives off business by alienating this demographic, or increase the statistical chance that a firearm will end up on the streets in the hand of a criminal because an individual was forced to leave their firearm in their car. It seems to me that such a policy clearly states that our families are not worth protecting in the eyes of corporate management. Concealed permits are awarded for the purpose of self-protection and protection of our loved ones. By denying these rights, you essentially strip a person of their rights to self-defense and leave them at the mercy of others.
Do you know who this policy does NOT affect? The very rubbish you wish to keep out of your establishments. The street racers that ignore the addition of speed limit signs and put every commuter and pedestrian's life at risk. The same people that don't secure their pickup truck loads and cause dangerous flying debris. The thiefs that ignore home security signs and break into homes regardless. The same people that ignore laws and regulations because they have no respect for the law to begin with. The same gunmen that ignore "no weapons" signs posted at public schools or Jewish Federation buildings and go on a shooting spree because that establishment essentially advertises "no one in here can stop you". If these dirtbags don't respect or follow federal, state, or local laws and regulations, what makes you think they'll hold a company's policy with any higher regard?
If they put up a "gunbusters" or small "no guns" sign, that does not conform to state laws, regardless of whether you can 100% legally enter or not, it is STILL an insult. They do not want your business. Please let them know that you'll comply.
