AMC movie theaters are anti.

[Kicker96FS]

So the bride and I go to the movies Monday and I noticed on the way in, the bottom corner of a couple of doors, this signage:

My wife looks at me and says "What are you gonna do?" I smirked and replied "Concealed means concealed", and then proceeded to explain to her what "non binding" signs are.
These are somewhat new because I always look for them. (I like to smirk)

Movie sucked BTW, she picked it. (OZ)

 

[justanotherparatrooper]

you said it...if they cant see it f@#k them

 

[FrugalFannie]

They are also owned by the Chinese [STRIKE=undefined]Government[/STRIKE] business.

 

[MAGG]

they just redid the amc over by my house in braintree...never saw a sign or looked for one..but the seats are all electric recliners now...beautiful place. like you said..concealed means concealed

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

I will.violate that sign every time I over pay for popcorn and a NY felony hi cap soda.

 

[mclina]

If I can conceal a 20 oz Diet Pepsi and a large box of M&Ms, plus whatever the kids can't fit in their little skinny-jean pockets, I'm pretty sure nobody's going to notice my pistol.

You just have to carry your soda on your weak side so it doesn't bounce off the grip and draw attention while you're walking.

 

[Apathesis]

Good for you. I'm glad there are people here who ignore such silly signs.

 

[MSant]

Carry the soda strong side. Use the grip as a shelf so you don't spill.

 

[PilotRPI]

I don't carry a 1911, so doesn't affect me.

 

[kurtb]

Seems to me if you are not carrying a 1911 - you are all set.

 

[Jason Flare]

I think the sign specifically signifies, No 1911's.

 

[JasonM]

I rarely go to the movies anymore. AppleTV/Amazon for us. Cheaper and a better experience IMO.

 

[mclina]

The Scottevest jacket is the best for going to the movies. I swear I could carry a six pack and a pizza in that thing.

 

[Jaxon06]

But it was worth it to see Mila Kunis in leather pants...

 

[speedy]

The sign looks like they do not want 1911's. I carry something else.

Do you?

 

[blindndead]

Don't give them any of your hard earned money. Help some other locally owned shop instead.

 

[coxfam413]

AMC just put up a sign letting every nut case know that it is open season on humans in this theater! WTF

 

[atilla]

i pointed it out to my girlfriend when we saw prometheus. we had a good laugh as i was concealed carrying a glock and she had the snacks. we barely gave them any money at all considering it was a matinee showing and most of the ticket sales go back to the left coast anyway.

 

[Hush]

Until its backed by law, it's merely a suggestion.
Concealed means never having to say you're sorry...

 

[Len-2A Training]

Was this at floor level?

If so, I'd believe that this was a "protest posting" by the local manager, who required to post per corporate policy, did so in a place likely to only be noticed by drunks crawling into the theater. I saw one such posting once before in Burlington area and merely chuckled.

can you blame them?

low cap, hard to maintain, hard to take apart, on and on.

Sounds like AMC has good taste in guns it doesn't like if you ask me.

 

[OfficerObie59]

Regal is the same way.

Right after Newtown, they demanded to search my wife's bag. Ms. Obie told them to pound sand and demanded her money back from the manager, which she got.

I was proud of her.

fuggin'-a. i tell the lady atilla the same thing. no one can touch you in your bathing suit area, and no one can violate your god-given rights, especially not some puke who you can simply tell to GTFO without even needing to invoke your rights.

Don't go there... Not all 1911's are single stack. Anyone with two opposable thumbs and more than half a brain can maintain them (take apart, reassemble, clean, etc.).

As for AMC/movie houses... I haven't gone to any in years. I simply wait for the movie to be available to me either via Netflix, or some other method to watch at home. Far better food, seating, company, etc. Plus, I can drink whatever I want while watching. No dress code either.

 

[wimsey1]

It is my understanding that "no gun" signs do carry force of law in Massachusetts and are not merely "suggestions." Is this incorrect? I have made the decision to carry in such places anyway as have most of you, but it is a decision informed by the consequences of breaking that law.

 

[Jsfitzgerald85]

Why is AMC anti-1911? I agree Concealed is Concealed

 

[richc]

Yeah, searching and frisking will clearly turn up dangerous weapons...

 

[je25ff]

No 1911s allowed? Edit: I'm not the only one who thought this I post first and ask questions later.
