I know I must be out of my mind, and should be certified as dumber than a bag of hammers...

But, that's beside the point...

Since we do not have to patronize this business anymore, how clever it would be to communicate our side of the issue by somehow leaving our "I see your 30.06 posting and respect your wishes" business cards wedged right in the crease of the sign and the window of where they post the dubiously questionable 30.06 postings on the entrances of their theater...

And walk right back out...

Obviously, we have been informed (by the owner) per the law, and their intent is clear, even though their posting of the signs technically are not within the parameters of the law (that we know better than them anyway)...

I know I struggled with the issue for a long time, till I figured out the intent is all they need to make your life miserable if you are somehow caught...But that is niether here nor there...

I already told my brother if he wants to give us another Christmas "gift card" for the movies...Make sure it is not AMC...

I have nothing but respect for those struggling with this issue...And maybe my suggestion is reckless and meaningless...

Symbology seems to work for those who oppose us, why should we not consider symbolically responding to their policy...

But what do I know...I am only a harmless guy who wears too many Hawaiian shirts, and keeps his right hand clear at all times...

Not really...But there are enough of us bringing a proper and reasonable notice to this fact...I say we should keep the pressure on and vote from the rooftops (figuratively speaking of course)...

The best i can figure is that the people who make these rules for their company are restricted from conceal carry because of felony convictions or other. Why else would they do it?

Those people are basically the insurance companies and corporate lawyer types...A dangerous combination if you ask me...

I noticed the AMC Gulfpoint 30 theater nearest us is posted...At first it was an 8.5 x 11 sheet of office paper attached to several doors in the entrance area to the lobby of the theater...It was worded correctly, yet the size was not per the law...But I feel they have effectively notified us, thus we do not spend our entertainment money there...I used the gift card my brother gave us for Christmas there to not let it go to waste (as the money was already spent...

And when we did go there recently, the paper notifications were replaced by a plastic laminated engraved sign of the same size, contrast and letter size, which was not compliant with the law...

I would say that we should not necessarily change the law, but place severe penalties and liability with businesses that post incorrectly, and do not provide adequate security all around the premises, including the parking lots if they so choose to post the 30.06 restrictions...

I believe they have every right to do so, but it should come with extreme penalties and accountability for doing so...

I went the other night over there, and I have never seen so much transient foot traffic of gang banging thugs wandering around that "entire" parking lot...We kept driving and went back during the day...

I'm glad our gift card is expended now...

AMC Gulfpoint 30 is posted with 8.5 x 11 inch sheets on 3 doors at the front entrances...

The wording appears to be correct per the law, but the size is obviously wrong because I had to walk right up to the door lean down to look at it real closely to read it...

I hope someone saw this as I stood back up, shook my head, turned around and left the area...

What stinks is that I have a $50 AMC gift card from Christmas I would like to use, yet it doesn't look like I am going to be able to use it...

Just another way to make a point.

The one by us has contracted (off-duty) police security "in" the theater...A lot of good that does us outside...They used to have bicycle patrols running around the place, but that might have only been for the warmer months...

Like I say, I'll go check the closest one to us tomorrow...I sooooo wanted to go see that monster movie real soon...

sigh...

You too???

AMC Gulfpoint 30 theater is a stones throw from us...Guess I'll wander over there tomorrow and see if it is posted as well...I won't be surprised if it is...

And I will not be saying a dirn thing to them...Letters, emails or phonecalls...I'm just firing them from entertaining me anymore if they have posted this particular theater...

The sad thing is my brother gave us a gift card for Christmas to AMC...Haven't used it yet obviously...
