Local theater ccw policies

[JJC]

I usually go to Marcus Theaters. I always go armed (concealed). I have looked for signs, but have never seen any.

The "Carmike" theater by the Valley View Mall is posted. (Last time I looked).
The "Marcus" La Crosse is not. (Corporate Policy I was told. Manager wants to post but is not allowed.).

I usually go to the Showtime in Franklin on HWY 38 just south of HWY 100. Never seen I sign there.

Mayfair mall and the AMC theater that is in it have no carry signs posted on all doors

The Marcus theater in Menomonee Falls does not have anything posted

How are the movie theater polices on CCW in WI?

I'm pretty sure all of them prohibit ccw. It's a crime.
Some even prohibit lawfully-armed citizens.
As others have pointed out, Marcus does not post.
The few times I've been out to a movie, we've gone to Marcus Menomonee Falls, OC & cc, with no problems from anyone.

ETA: for the one Marcus that's supposedly posted, notify the head office. The signs will come down. Corporate policy is to welcome all law-abiding citizens. I suspect they'll figure out who posted the signs & have a little talk...

Each of us needs to decide for ourselves if our safety is worth getting a ticket for carrying concealed in a posted gun free zone.
Is your safety worth a couple hundred bucks in a ticket IF you are ever caught concealing in a posted store?
If you are concealing correctly, nobody will ever know unless you have to use your gun.

All of which is true, except that as Paul & protias pointed out it's a ticket of up to $1000.
And there's always the question of "why support anti-rights businesses?".
Sometimes there isn't a choice - post office, most hospitals (not all), some cities/counties.
In the case of theaters, there are lots of choices (from Netflix to redbox to Marcus).
