Wife & I would like to catch a movie this weekend. Was wondering which theaters have hissy fits about OC and which ones are cool with it. We live in West Jordan.

I know the Larry H. Miller theaters (Megaplex) are usually not so friendly, but I've never tried to OC there, so I can't be sure. Some people in the CC comunity have seen signs there stating no firearms. It's been forever since I have been to any theater, so that might have changed. So basically what I'm saying is I'm no help. :lol:

All of the Larry H. Miller properties of which I am aware (including the Jordon Common theater at 9400 S. State, the race way, and the Energy Solutions Arena) are posted "No Firearms".

Of course, such signs have NO legal standing in Utah when attached to such business property (as opposed to private residences or house of worship). But they do indicate a willingness to ask you to leave if your gun is noticed.

There is no security or effort to detect a gun at either Jordon Common or the raceway. There is often no such security at the ES Arena, though for some events they run everyone through metal detectors.

I have CC'd at the raceway without incident.

I have CC'd and Casually CC'd / OC'd at the Jordon Common Theater without incident.

But in both cases I believe it was because nobody noticed my firearm.

So those who wish to be armed at LHM commercial property can generally do so if they conceal.

Those who prefer not to do business with those who oppose their RKBA, will want to avoid LHM properties.

Other than LHM properties, about the ONLY place I've noticed "No gun" signs is at IHC facilities. And again, they have no legal weight there so I've both CC'd and Casually CC'd into those facilities. Indeed, given that hospitals treat people at their worst, clean up after failed gang shootings and such, have drugs and other items that may be of value to criminals, I make a POINT to be armed when at the hospital for any reason OTHER than as a patient. If I am caring for a family member I CC to avoid any distractions. If I am just visiting, I am more likely to CCC or OC.

The Cinemark Movies 8 in Provo has a prohibition on firearms.

I openly carried while purchasing my tickets right in front of the sign, watched the move, and left without incident.

This picture is from the VCDL website, but it is the exact same signage at the Provo Cinemark Movies8.

Wife and I saw Monsters vs Aliens 3D this week and no problem at the new Cinemark in Orem. I swear this is just a Salt Lake Valley problem and not Utah Valley (said it before and still saying it).

I think you're on to something here Tony. :idea:

I live in Utah County, and have done the bulk of my carry in Utah County.

However,I've only ever been asked to cover up or leave in Salt Lake County! :banghead:
