Got made entering Disneyland...

[Once]

I go to the theme parks wearing a fanny pack. Not carrying a pistol but they've missed the baton and pocket knife every time.

I have posted about Disney Florida. I carry Glock 26 IWB everytime I go. Outside food and drink is allowed.

I'm going to try to find a cell phone case that will let me put my knife inside with my cell phone. Or find one that I can clip to the backside of it.

I've seen an Izula carried behind a cell phone case and when you open the case cover it naturally hides the knife handle.

That is the reason I take the clips off-my pocket knives. No need for anyone to know I have it with me.

Have you checked out this holster? I think it could be something to look into since you also regularly carry. Buy IWB Holster Online | Ultimate Concealed Carry

I also purchase something with the Disney logo on it once inside. A stainless steel pen for example.

1. Security theater.

2. I wonder how effective these checkpoints are at scaring off actual threats? Or are they to soothe the sheep and liability attorneys?

3. Every time I go to Busch Gardens Williamsburg I CC and easily pass through their security theater. I've heard they have agunbusters sign but I've never seen it.

4. Once at Norfolk (VA) Scope (multi-event arena) security insisted on inspecting my wife's purse before we could see "Walking With Dinosaurs." This despite that they as a municipality are barred from prohibiting firearms. The guy completely overlooked her spare mag and I being without baggage was not accosted. I asked him what he was looking for. "Weapons."

I have a nice backpack I use as a diaper bag for the kids. I bought one big enough to hold supplies for the twins as well as a nice 11x15 3A ballistic panel in the waterbladder pocket. When I'm out and about with the boys that pocket also holds a spare G22 (2 is 1), 3 more mags, spare flashlight and folding knife. The G22's go into the truck lock box (in the cab, bolted to frame of the truck) when I'm in a no-carry area but the 3A panel is always there and I've never had one of the Security Theater actors look in the waterbladder pocket.

I know the checkpoints in Florida Disney locations are all feel good attempts at perceived security. Usually Disney security handles the "searches" while an OCSO deputy just observes. Last trip I had to open my fanny pack to show my sunglasses, camera and cell phone. I could have had a grenade, C4 or a full size 1911 under my shirt and entered without detection. Like I said, just feel good efforts like the barrage of no guns signs coming up after every major shooting. I even noticed a new one at my MILs nursing home. I guess the BGs were scoring wheelchairs and walkers from the folks in there. Not anymore. A BG will see the sign and just say "darn, I'll have to go somewhere that doesn't have a sign." How ridiculous and naive these signs and security efforts are.

The way your post reads suggests that you came back with your knife into the park by coming in with another group of tourists? Why did you carry it after they asked you not to bring it in? That seems wrong and very very disrespectful.

...Why did you carry it after they asked you not to bring it in?

They didn't ask. According to post #1, an employee stated "you can't have that in Disneyland". This statement is contrary to fact, as attested by several other posters in this thread.

...Our hotel is just across the street, so I tell them I can go back and leave it, even though I had walked around both parks all day the day before with it just the same and noone had said a word. Rediculous! I won't say how far towards the hotel I got before I returned with the next large group of people.

Wow. That's my same story word for word. I even told them "Look, before I boarded a plane for your beautiful state I checked your state laws regarding knives. Anything 2 inches or less is regarded as non-dangerous and is unregulated. I chose to carry this 2inch pocket tool on my trip in compliance with the law. It is not a weapon, it is a tool." They would have none of it so I doubled back with the next swarm and just made sure it was deep in my pocket. My wife kept track of how many times she needed me to use it that day in the park opening candy and toy wrappers, etc. It was nearly a dozen.

I carried a swiss army knife through most of grade school, and a buck folder on a belt sheath through high school. Never thought to use it as a weapon in those schoolyard dust-ups.
