I have no doubt but that licensed gun owners are permitted to carry at Israeli soccer matches, so long as they flash their cards and behave.

Dunno, you get some fans out in the parking lot like at Dodger stadium when they’re playing the Giants like the last time some Dodger fans put a Giant fan in the hospital.

Dunno ... an armed society is a polite society. Maybe that asshole wouldn't have been so quick to commit attempted murder if he knew he could be shot down stone cold dead like the rabid dog that he is ...

You’d have to be a dam hot shot to do that with a concealable handgun.

Pity the fool that is sitting down-range.

Specifically referring to the thug fans of the Oakland Raiders.

Regardless, the stadium ownership is (or should be) at liberty to set firearms policies as it sees fit.

Yes I agree, but also important to remember that the teams who contract the venue also get a vote. I can't see the NFL agreeing to such terms. They know how Oakland fans are.

"Regardless, the stadium ownership is (or should be) at liberty to set firearms policies as it sees fit."

I agree, so long as they also agree, if they determine not to allow possession of firearms by CC/OC individuals, that they assume full fiduciary and legal responsibility for the safety of individuals who have been so deprived.

You,sir, are an idiot.

Guess again.

However, it's informative to see how certain hysterical people act, while the adults, meanwhile, carry on meaningful and thoughtful debate.

Engaging in juvenile name-calling reflects more on your own character, rather than saying anything cogent about whoever you're gratuitously attacking...

In Your opinion of what it should apply to. It makes no such exception in the Amendment itself. It does not say"...shall not be infringed except..." What do you think should be the exceptions in the Fist Amendment that are not in the text?

It’s not “a private entity” if taxpayer dollars were used to fund the construction the stadium.

Yes. Imagine if the Dodger fan had been able to defend himself...

What I’m saying is it was the Giants fan that was assaulted by the home team Dodgers. Okay, the Giant fan could have just whipped out his gun and started blazing away who cares where the rounds would have gone. What if the Dodger fans that beat him up and put him in the hospital had guns instead? You get some hopped up sport fan with a gun is all I’m saying ... I’m not anti-gun, I carry as well.

Have you ever been in a situation in which you had to brandish a firearm at someone? Both times I have had to do so, there was no “blazing away” necessary. My attacker(s) took one look at the gun and fled.

There are already laws against being “hopped up” while in possession of a firearm.

Finally, laws are for the law abiding. A criminal who wants to use a firearm for evil purposes at a sporting event is going to use a firearm for evil purposes at said sporting event. Allowing law abiding people to arm themselves for self defense is never a bad idea, in my opinion.
