[QUOTE="chuter, post: 1864944, member: 13693"] I just sent the following to AMC Theaters (the numbers of permit holders and states that allow CCW have increased since 2008): "Hello, I just wanted to remind you of a letter I sent to you back in 2008 regarding no weapons signs in your theaters; seems I was right. January 4, 2008 To: AMC Theatres Hello, Im writing to express my disappointment and surprise at finding a No Weapons Allowed sign on the door of your Theatre in the Quail Springs Mall in Oklahoma City. I have an Oklahoma permit to carry a concealed weapon, and choose to do so for the defense of my loved ones and myself. Im sorry to learn you have decided I shouldnt have that right while in your establishment. I will be glad to spend my money somewhere else. The no guns sign on your theatre makes it illegal for concealed carry permit holders in Oklahoma to enter your establishment. 54,705 people in Oklahoma have received permits in the last 5 years, and youre saying to all them they not welcome. Perhaps you dont realize what people in Oklahoma go through to get a Concealed Carry Permit: An 8 hour training course Demonstrate the safe handling of a weapon on a firing range Finger printed by the Sheriffs office Background check by the OSBI Background check by the FBI Concealed Carry permit holders have proven to be more law-abiding than the general population. There are now 36 states that have concealed carry laws. The irrational fear of gun fights at traffic lights has proven completely unfounded. Unfortunately we have all learned lately that no guns signs do not prevent disturbed individuals from shooting innocent people in shopping malls. Weve also learned that the police cannot be in all places at one time, and usually several people are killed or wounded before the police arrive. Studies show that allowing citizens to carry concealed weapons reduces crime. Do you realize that putting a No Weapons Allowed sign on your front door is simply an advertisement to criminals saying defenseless people in here, come on in and do as you please? Criminals will ignore the sign and do as they please. My hope is that you will reply telling me that you have reconsidered and removed the sign. If I dont hear from you I will do my best to tell others like myself that we are not welcome in your place of business. Thank you for your consideration. Respectfully, [/QUOTE]
