A copy of the letter from Mr. Edwards concerning their policy:
Dear Mr. XXXX,
I respect your decision not to watch movies at our theatre. Our policy to not allow firearms in our place of business has been in place since we opened. It is the same policy followed by every other movie theatre in Tucson.
Before operating our theatre in Marana I worked for AMC, Cinemark and Cineplex Odeon. None of them will allow firearms.
While I myself own several, I have always agreed with my former employers that we need to be mindful of the public's anxiety toward firearms and not present any hint of threat to fellow movie goers.
I will not argue any point you may make regarding civil freedoms. My family has served in the military now the past four generations. We protect and defend our loved ones just as you do.
Please continue to support the businesses you wish. We will not allow guests to bring firearms in our facility unless they are a recognized public servant of our nation's law enforcement.
regards,
Kent Edwards
Managing Partner
