Times Square is not posted and the owner said in a news story earlier this year that he welcomed concealed carry in his theater. This is an independently owned Mom&Pop theater and has earned my business with low ticket prices, low concession prices, and clean facilities. This is by far, the best theater in Tyler...and I can carry there.

I went ahead and sent them some feedback!

"I attended your theater last week and I was very disappointed to find the signage that prevented me from carrying my concealed handgun into the theater. I'm not at all concerned about needing a gun while inside your facility, the odds of needing to use a concealed weapon in a large crowd are astronomically low. I am however, always concerned when I walk to and from my vehicle in a parking lot after dark. Regardless of how well lit it may be...or that security cameras are monitoring the premises, I am at a much higher risk of being threatened there. Because of your signage, I will not be choosing to attend your facilities. There are other options in Tyler that are not posted and allow me to chose to protect myself and my family. I feel that you should know that your corporate decisions affect your bottom line. Maybe there are people who will chose to take my seat in your theater because you are a gun free zone...but I believe they are naive and that your sign creates a zone where violent criminals expect that they can commit crimes without fear of being confronted by a responsible, law-abiding citizen. One who has passed a full background check and shown himself to be proficient with a self-defense weapon. Thank You for providing me a place to offer my feedback."

Went to Tyler Carmike last week because I had a free pass. Saw the signs and was not sure if the Carmike Logo at the bottom invalidated it or not. If a Gunbuster Logo invalidates it, why not Thank You...Carmike Cinemas logo?
