Was asked to leave a Cinemark theater

[noway2]

NC is so restrictive about where you can and can't carry(snip)

I've mentioned it before, and it draws ire from some instructors, but this undoubtedly has a lot to do with why my CC instructor said that if you see him out and about, or in a restaurant, don't call him out and he won't call you out, but know that you'll be safer sitting near him.

Mine said basically the same thing. Even the NRA-sanctioned CC instructors don't OC here.

Most states have standards for legal signage. A small cardboard sign is not legal. However if asked to leave you probably should. Just point out to the management their sign is substandard and could open them to litigation.
If the theater in Aurora doesn't have a legal sign therefore excluding CC holders by sight only ,they could be held liable for the deaths.
This avenue would be infinitely more effective than emailing HQ.

Hard to see how failure to notify lawful citizens applies to failure of an unlawful murderous outlaw to abide by pretty signage. Sure claims can be made, but it's tough to see legitimacy in any such claim of liability for a facility's contribution to such crimes.

Of far great import, I'd say, would be failure to provide an alarm mechanism on the emergency exit doors at the back of each theatre room.

That's one more thing to charge James Holmes with - he carried firearms in when it was expressly forbidden.

Here in South Carolina "no weapons" signs must meet a set std to be legal. Our fav theater has no gun signs but they are not of proper size so I'm undecided if next time we go if I'll carry or comply with the spirit of the sign.

Not sure about your state, but here in MO those signs have to meet certain guidelines BY LAW. A little hand-written cardboard sign won't cut it.
Mo. is not an OC state, so they wouldn't have seen your guns anyway.

Missouri MOST defiantly is an Open Carry State!!!!! I OCed for several years when I lived there (Columbia) and never had a problem.

You are probably looking for a law that states it is legal; the US operates on the bases of PROHIBITIONS not permissions; OC is legal because it is not illegal, except some liberal @ cities like CG (I use to live there).

NO GUNS signs carry NO force of law in Colorado, you can be asked to leave and if you refuse you can be ticketed for trespass that is all.

Dude, did you proof read that e-mail before you sent it? It looks as if either a drunk guy or a 3rd grader wrote that. Way to represent owners of firearms. Not trying be a jerk or anything, but good grief.

He took the time to send an e-mail expressing his thoughts. While it's true that we should all proof-read our emails before sending them, we can also be more gentle in how we criticize others. Here's a thoughtful post on keeping our attitudes in check on the forum:

"NO GUNS ALLOWED" signs give crooks the jollies because all potential victims have been disarmed for their convenience. I would remind those managers of this to point out the absurdity of their policies. By the way, I generally only go places which don't infringe on my rights. They have a right to post these policies just as I have a right not to give them my hard-earned money.

I have a habit of sending off rapidly composed strongly worded notes that my wife refers to as bat-faxes (reference to a Calvin and Hobbes strip.

Calvin I've noticed that comic book superheroes usually fight evil maniacs with grandiose plans to destroy the world. Why don't superheroes go after more subtle, realistic bad guys?
Hobbes Yeah, the superhero could attend council meetings and write letters to the editor, and stuff.
Calvin Hmmm... I think I see the problem.
Hobbes "Quick! To the Bat-Fax!"
