So, not arguing with the fact that the whole thing sucks....but shouldn't the blame be on MLB? "following a security mandate from Major League Baseball (MLB) that will apparently be in full force by 2015 ".......

Looks like the MLB is going the same way as NFL?

Will they also ban Google Glass - and other wearable tech?

I guess 2014 will be my last Mariners game year. Usually make 2 a year.

While, since the M's are only following the MLB mandate and Or does not have a MLB team. I think you are safe on this particular issue,

You can still watch the Timbers with no metal detectors! MLS is 2nd amendment friendly!!!!!!!!!

MLS has ruled, however, that while you do not yet have to ride to the game on a fixed gear bike, it is strongly encouraged.

There's No Pity in the Rose City!

This has been effect for a long time for the NFL. So I'd find something else if I wanted my panties in a wad.

Yeah, like if Krispy Kreme is having a special today?

Hard to imagine, but some of us actually care about our gun rights.

New owners of the Rose Garden, now Moda Center, have put up 'no firearms' signs later last year. Oddly enough, no long after i enquired as to what they would do if i carried there

Colosseum is still no scanners though

So, you're the dumb@$$ who is responsible, huh?

:winkkiss:


Seriously, in my experience dealing with gun rights issues, I have endeavored to hammer would-be activists to STFU and just carry discreetly, rather than call or personally contact businesses and ask them whether they're okay with you packing hardware in their establishment. OF COURSE they're going to say "NO."

Walk softly and carry a big (boom) stick.

Best cure. Just stop patronizing and spending your money at those places. That many unarmed people in one location and it will be a prime target for some nut job or terrorist. We stay far from places like that.

Given that Washington law states that:

(2) Cities, towns, counties, and other municipalities may enact laws and ordinances:
(b) Restricting the possession of firearms in any stadium or convention center, operated by a city, town, county, or other municipality, except that such restrictions shall not apply to:
(i) Any pistol in the possession of a person licensed under RCW 9.41.070 or exempt from the licensing requirement by RCW 9.41.060; or
(5) The perimeter of the premises of any specific location covered by subsection (1) of this section shall be posted at reasonable intervals to alert the public as to the existence of any law restricting the possession of firearms on the premises.

Does this fall under the premise that it's a private entity and they can post no guns? All they can do is trespass you, right? IE, if you have a concealed permit, how can they stop you from entering per Washington state law? The law exempts us......

 

[F2CMaDMaXX]

Yeah, um... sorry

So, unless they see it, then it's not there, the reason i asked is because they body scan you on the way in, although it's so lazy and just down the sides, and random. So....
