[BrianHillsboro]

Hey fellas,
Going to an event at the ballroom. Can anybody tell me if I have to walk through a metal detector or be subjected to a wand prior to entering?

Don't know about metal detectors, but they do seem to have a strict 'no weapons' policy.

From the Googly AI;
Yes, the Crystal Ballroom in Portland (Oregon, not McMinnville) uses walk-through metal detectors and wands for all guests, along with bag checks, as part of its standard security procedures. There appears to be no major "Crystal Ballroom" venue in McMinnville, OR; the famous one is in Portland.

Crystal Ballroom (Portland) Security

• Metal Detectors: Yes, walk-through detectors and hand wands are used for all attendees.

Doesn't sound like a very 2A friendly environment.

No bubblegum! Like going through a "Border Check Station" into a communist country. But not really. The rioter/scum they let destroy the peace, public and private property, all over potland, would be shot in communist countries.

Like going through a "Border Check Station" into a communist country.

Man, I'll say! Thats quite the list of 'house rules'.

About the only thing missing are some sort of devices to secure everyone to their seats!

Doesn't sound like a very 2A friendly environment.

I am quite sure the 2A is hardly a consideration with them - other than their restrictions.

Take cash. My credit card got nicked either there or in the nearby parking garage about a month ago.

I keep myself, my sidearm and my wallet out of Portland/Multnomah county. I provide zero financial support, let it all wilt on the vine.

When my rights are respected and protected, then, and only then, will I consider doing business or attending activities in Portland/Multnomah county.

Phuk 'em…

I believe they have a wand. Most of the mcminnamin venues are far more strict on security like that where other similar venues just give a BS hip pat.

 

[unionguy]

I'd count on going through a metal director. The few times we've gone there, that's been the case. It's been a little bit since though.

 

[bionic knees]

The crystal ballroom and portland in general can kiss my bubblegum, there is nothing in there that I need, especially after dark

Their house. Their rules.

Although there are ways to sneak things in, outside of having a firearm.
