Went to see the new national Treasure movie.. (Great, imo) I went OC to the movie (Farm Fresh, Books-o-Million, dollar tree first) then on to the movie AMC Hampton, The admiral and I have always used the Automated Kiosk just in the lobby to purchase tickets so I have never noticed the "Gun Buster" sign on the windows of the box-office... (The gunbuster signs are not on the entry doors or the kiosk)
Another stupid GFZ So I just untuck my shirt and go to Sheath mode. Don't ask don't tell There is no way I'm not going to be able to protect myself and family especially there...
Has anyone taken them on? AMC in Hampton? If so what was the outcome. I still intend to write a letter to the manager however.
I forgot where I Copied this letter from... but All credit is given where credit is due and if someone on this board wrote the original I thank you (Plagiarism, is whats for dinner!!!!).
To Whom It May Concern:
I recently learned that your movie theatre has the following signs on the box-office window: “No Weapons Allowed” with a picture of a Gun in a Circle with a line through it”. I find this extremely disappointing, as my family loves to come to the movies and we find your facilities very comfortable.
It saddens me to discover that you have chosen to exclude me from your facility because youfail to understand individual American or Human rights. Do you believe that a criminal wanting to rob your theater or its patrons, or commit even worse crimes like what happened in the Mall in Omaha or the Church in Colorado, cares about a sign on the window of the Box-office?
Posting such a sign serves toinformcriminals that law-abiding customers have been disarmed in your establishment. What steps are you taking to guarantee my family’s safety while watching a movie or standing in line for pop-corn, if you won’t allow me to do so?
I choose to carry a firearm to defend my family, friends, myself, and those around me, our police are reactive - arriving AFTER a crime is committed. Further, our courts have ruled the police have no duty to protectcitizens in advance of a crime, but toinvestigate and prosecute. I understand that it is my responsibility and no one else will look out for me and my family’s safety like I will.Also, I am Licensed by the State to Carry a Concealed Firearm and I hold a US Government Top Secret Clearance, yet your sign precludes even me from Exercising the most elemental of Human rights, the right to self defence.
I hope you will reconsider your policies about firearms, but until you do I will be forced to take my business elsewhere. My family has a good deal of disposable income and fortunately for us we can stay home and watch movies on our own theatre or find another Theatre that does try not restrict our rights and endanger their patrons as you have.
