A Dilemma...

[Kappy]

So we're going to a concert in Oakland tonight. I want to carry... because it's Oakland.

The wife wants to take BART. Oddly enough, BART allows for CCW. The question is... does the venue? A few months ago when we ordered the tix, I emailed the venue and they said that they didn't allow CCW's... so that's done... but I figured they'd say that, so I sent it from a clone email account with no identifying info.

So the real question is... does the venue have metal detectors? Am I going to have to leave the venue to drop my gun off at the car?This is just really annoying.

I don't think there is any way to know except to go to the event carrying concealed. If you encounter a problem, have your wife hold your seat or place in line while you take the pistola back to the trunk.

I guess that's the answer.

Last one I went to, they made me take off my chain wallet and keep it in the car because it's a dangerous weapon

We have the same rule on my campus. On the other hand... on campus, they're children who have no expectation of rights... or shouldn't.

^ rightfully so. I always had one in school and I used to walk around swinging the chain around as if it was a weapon. I'd go to Lowes and buy new chain links and have them added. The chain gradually grew in length and over time it truly was a weapon. Finally one day (even though I had never used it as a weapon), I got suspended for "possession of a weapon on school grounds." I guess the school got tired of seeing it grow in length weekly. That and I was miserable little bastard in school so they were always looking for an opportunity to get rid of me for short periods of time

Well... No accounting for taste.

By the way, we're here at the venue. I think We'll be fine?

At one point half of the crowd was on stage slam dancing.

Keep it close! you don't want to lose it in a place like that!

As to that, I didn't strap. I decided to leave it in the car. They were frisking EVERYONE on their way in, and I know from prior email contact that they wouldn't be understanding or helpful if they caught it.
