[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1798037, member: 14668"] I believe that Regal should have the right to implement whatever policies it wishes to in regards to guns. They own the building, they make the rules. I happen to think their policy is stupid and pointless, and I am under no obligation to obey it, but that is beside the point. My issue is with the manner in which they are enforcing that policy. An unarmed, untrained 17 year old girl peering into open purses from behind the glass of a ticket booth is not security, it is a[B][I] joke[/I][/B]. Requiring all of the women who enter the theater to be "searched" in this manner while making no effort at all to frisk the men is blatantly sexist as well as being useless as a security measure. The fact that I walked right in there with a concealed handgun is proof of that fact. Most women who carry concealed keep their guns in a purse, whereas most men carry in a belt holster hidden beneath their shirt. This means that Regal's policy will unfairly target women, who are the ones at greatest risk of being victimized in the first place. [/QUOTE]
