Regal Cinemas to begin searching patron's bags prior to admission.

[ArcadiaGP]

May or may not affect your choice to attend a Regal Cinema in the future.

This is in response to "recent attacks"... curious to see if they plan to implement a metal detector or wand. Hilarious naivete

I only carry one bag. I expect some form of compensation.

Mistakenly copied from your backpage.com ad?

That was so mean.
You should apologize to your wife right now.

Looks like they are attempting to improve revenue at the snack stand. I'm sure they'll disallow water, candy, etc., that you bring with you. And since I WEAR my sidearm, this inspection is not very useful.

I am wondering... who actually carries a gun in a bag?

More feel-good "look! I did something!"

I can TOTALLY see handing them a fanny-pack to root through, while someone has an AR slung on their back.

This is my thought also, they need to sell more concessions.

There's one in Bedford. I will not submit to a search just to watch an over priced movie. Period. Local teens working minimum wage with zero security experience are not going to search me or my date. Not gonna happen.

So having a 15 yr old look in your bag will make the sheeple feel more secure?

 

[snorko]

So load up a bag with ziplock bags of oregano and talcum powder, maybe a few sex toys, and watch the hilarity ensue.

 

[Alpo]

Guess I'll have to stop wearing this shirt to the movies.

 

[eldirector]

Interesting... no mention of firearms in their rules:

When I first read this:

I thought it said this:

So having a 15 yr old in your bag will make the sheeple feel more secure?

And we were back in the Jared thread.

Never mind.

Yea a bag search makes no sense. I smuggle in my candy in the cargo pockets of my shorts. If you carry our gun in a bag....then you don't really have a bag......

Blurb at the end of one of the articles mentioned metal detectors at a Los Angeles location, so apparently the there is more to it than just bag searches, at least in some cases. How many men carry bags anyway? Not many.

 

[nakinate]

Even if you did carry in a bag, do you think they'd know what to look for if it were a concealed carry bag? For instance, concealed carry purses have hidden pockets to store the gun. Without a metal detector this is completely worthless for security.

As the beta/delta/gamma male population increases... I could see that number rising. Boys carrying murses, wearing their jeggings and flip-flops.

Saw a grown-ass man walking around Wal-Mart last week in pajama pants. Wanted to slap the **** out of him.

ONLY if you have a lot of time to waste. When you do it let us know how it worked out for you.
