Is Keller Auditorium still publicly owned? If so, that sign is illegal.
From their 2021 technical specs:
"Firearms are not permitted in public buildings except under limited circumstances including possession of a concealed weapons permit. While Portland'5 cannot ban those with concealed weapons permits from carrying firearms into a public building, the event Licensee, as a private entity, may choose to ban any weapons from the premises."
No clarification on what the private entity would need to do to ban weapons from their licensed event.
I was carrying when I went to the Moda center for a non sports event. When I walked up I saw the sign outside and there was a guy searching bags and wanding people down. I figured that if he found my 45 I would just go back to the car and stow it. I put my keys on the table and he starts wanding me down. He wands right over my pistol...nothing.
I heard the wand making noises so the batteries weren't dead. Go figure. Feel safe now?
Yup, same for the nutcracker a couple of weeks ago…I went to the Keller last night and there was no wanding or metal detectors. Just some old ladies scanning tickets. Didn't even see any signage about weapons, though the tickets do say "no weapons of any kind".
Yep, lots of security, not one was visibly armed.Good to know, @OrHunter2023 . Not that I would have a reason to go to the Keller, anyway, but now it's on my "No Fly" list. Don't need to be one of the fish in the barrel.
Might be different if there was armed security onsite, but dollars to doughnuts they don't have any.
Useful information. Keller going woke has terminated a family tradition of going to see the Nutcracker. I figure it this way, it's their loss. Saves me in the neighborhood of $600 between tickets and dinner. Maybe I'll treat myself to a new revolver, in memoriam of Keller's/Portland's wokeness…An update for anyone wondering. Went to the Keller last night 12/2/23 for a comedy show. They did have walk through detectors. I was pulled aside and asked if I had anything in my pockets. I was carrying at the 3 o'clock position which the detector showed on its screen. Luckily I had my pocket knife and showed it to the lady (under 3" blade is allowed in). Went right in after that.
