If they didn't, would it make a difference to you? Unless they have metal detectors or wands, they have to ask you to leave. If you refuse, it's trespassing with a firearm, so you better leave.

 

[lilsqueve2003]

Yes. It makes difference in if I leave my firearm at home; or bring it with me. It would be nice to know if I can get in with it.

About The McDonald Theatre​

The McDonald Theatre is located in the heart of downtown Eugene, Oregon, at 1010 Willamette Street. When entering the historic building, one is immediately flooded with past memories of stage and screen performances because the 1925 building is loaded with memories and elements reflecting the days of yore. This familiar and exciting feeling is one that the Kesey Family, which owns and operates the theatre, has worked hard to maintain.

If you're a rule follower, leave your boom booms at home.

Only for shooting competition events.

I don't like crowds and specifically wouldn't carry where people are bumping or rubbing up on me.

...where people are bumping or rubbing up on me.

Whoa I didn't know it was one of those kind of places...

 

[oremike]

Whoa I didn't know it was one of those kind of places...

I was thinking of standing room open seating and crowds dancing but yeah just think of when in those kind of environments how much incidental contact there is. <shudder> not for me.

 

[Ben B.]

The Hult Center has metal detectors installed.

But, not that there's anything wrong with that? Right time/right place and all.

Brings to mind a time, or fourteen. After the dance up at the "Caves". Over looking The Salt Lake Valley.

 

[MannyGlocks]

They're mighty big on 'rules' and very specific rules too - "

This is an especially annoying one: "Gum (opened / unopened packages or in use)" and I don't chew gum.

No way I'd ever attend a place like that...
