My Conseco Fieldhouse experience.

[Ri22o]

My friend's mom won a party at Howl at the Moon tonight, and my girlfirend and I were invited. I prepared for the evening by choosing to carry the Glock 26 with my MTAC. I tucked my undershirt over it to hide it a little better, as I didn't know what the bar's policy was. It was hidden rather well, and my girlfriend had even asked if I was carrying before we left the house. After we show up to Howl at the Moon, my friend tells me that her dad gave her some 7th row Pacer's tickets and wanted to know if we wanted to go. We decided to go, as it wasn't costing us anything and we had never been down that close to the court.

Before leaving the bar, I ask a few people whether Conseco uses wands or not. They all said that they did not believe so, and that I should be fine with the 26 in the MTAC. As we approach the doors, I see a younger kid waving people down with the wand. I said "This is going to be interesting..." and got a look from my friend. haha That's when I decided to just walk back a couple of blocks and put the 26 in the truck.

After finally getting back to the Fieldhouse, the kid asks if I have any metal in my pockets. I pull out my keys and my CRKT K.I.S.S. knife. He about freaks out and says, "Whoa, what was that?"

"My pocket knife?"

"Yea, can you open it for me real quick?"

*I open it*

"Was that quick enough...?"

He then proceeds to measure it with his pinky finger, and says, "You are going to have to check that."

"What...? Are you serious?"

"Yea, the blade is too long, you are going to have to check it."

"Are you serious...?"

"You will get it back."

"Are you serious...?"

"Here I'll walk over there with you... Oh crap people are coming in... Ummm... Just go ahead..."


I NEVER EVEN GOT WAVED DOWN WITH THE WAND! (Which pissed me off after having walked back to the truck to leave it there, all alone, by itself...) He was more concerned with the length of the blade on my pocket knife than anything else I could have been carrying. When we first got there, I had thought about not going back to the truck to leave the 26, just to see what would have happened.


I don't get it!
