You can ALWAYS beat the $8.00 door guards with a little ingenuity. Only once have I turned away from a medal detector at a sports event because a SWAT and K9 team were doing the searching.....skipped the concert and went on a date with my wife.....we aren’t going ANYWHERE unarmed in Central Arkansas, even with SWAT on premises.
Sounds like a pretty good idea, if the van is close enough to the stadium and secure, and bonded. I also like the part about refusing to return a firearm to anyone who appears drunk. Drunks and guns should be parted.
I don’t remember who said it, but I think someone else had an even better idea, the stadium itself should provide a firearm lockup for patrons. I’ve been in favor of something like that for along time.
If you go to a ball game, concert or any large event, it should be standard procedure in any state with concealed carry ability to also provide a secure area for patrons to turn in guns as they go inside, and get them back when leaving. Tickets are already expensive enough, I doubt they would go broke providing this as a free service.
Then again this might turn out even better, being a private company with nothing invested in the event itself and not being a government entity.
Just don’t do it at bars. If you drink, leave your gun at home, period. I would definitely support armed security at bars, especially in today’s environment, but armed patrons is just a really bad idea.
