None that I know of most ban last I checked. I'm thinking there are 2 reasons not to go even if they were OC friendly. One it's a bad tactical situation, a crowd of strangers in the dark is pretty anonymous. Two, few things shown in theaters if any, support my gun owner lifestyle much less the people making money off me patronizing them.

Yet the cinema security, just like mall security, is EVER present and EVER vigilant of the teens out front harassing patrons, causing ruckus, and in general being little immature shit heads. Im sure a few OC'ers in the crowd would keep the little wanna be gang banging, rich parents that dont give a flying who nanny what their little delinquent does in line a little bit.:cuss::cuss::cuss:

Did that seem overboard?

Yes, it does. Carrying is not for keeping punks from making too much noise in a movie theatre. It's for life and death situations, and nothing less.

Hmmmm, but our thought on "An armed society is a polite society?"

I mean no disrespect at all, I completely agree that OC is for protection, as the first and only means. But we all know that we get treated a little different, positive and negative at times when we do.
