yes they have detectors

Yes. There is signage. Some of it is visible on Google Maps.

Better be strapped for that Hoobastank concert.

If you think the theater district is scary, just don't leave your house again

I'm not so sure these days.

I had a friend back east that was into the theater scene.

Sadly...he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife. For a mere 43 dollars, my friend lost his life.

You know how I know you haven't been there lately? A block from the theater we were at there were some 30 homeless under a bridge. Buskers and panhandlers on several corners. There was a park across the street with a few more. Enjoy walking the streets of downtown at night? We went to dinner beforehand which required a couple of blocks walking. Is the theater district scary, no. But it ain't River Oaks either.

Maybe I live in a safe bubble in the burbs and my view is skewed, but don't think for a single moment I will ever yield my ability to protect me and my pregnant wife with every legal tool at my fingertips, and sometimes the illegal ones.

Did I expect issues? No, but by god I was prepared for them.

Your complacency and lack of situational awareness is showing...

I was there saturday night and walked with my drunk wife 3 blocks to my car after a concert. I was more in danger of idiots leaving the garage too quickly than some homeless person hitting me up for some cash.

I bet your wife rolls her eyes at your constant need to carry your gun everywhere to make sure some panhandlers don't get out of line.

But that's fine. Y'all enjoy. Now, having been there and having asked the question in the OP, I know the garage is immediately under the theater and it shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks

The modern white liberal "male" hates the concept of good guys in society with guns. They would seriously rather only bad guys have them.

Isn't the penalty for disobeying a 30.06 sign a tiny slap on the wrist as long as you leave when they ask you to or am I misremembering things? Regardless, screw the libs, I only care about me and my family and protecting innocent people from violent monsters. I'll carry when and where the hell I want and I make a list of pantywaste restaurants with 30.06 signs that just care about virtue signaling, over protecting their sitting duck customers.

I can't imagine taking wife or kids somewhere that I won't go unless I'm strapped. I don't even think I could pull the piece fast enough if someone tried to rob me but I'm no Jason Bourne.

Going downtown often for close to 20 years I guess I'm lucky.

Was it the Duke who said that if he was expecting trouble, he'd have brought a rifle?

Carrying doesn't mean you're expecting trouble. It's just being ready for it. Home invasions happen all the time but if I told you I carry at home fairly regularly I'd be seen as a loon. Yet here we are with assault and B&E alerts in our neighborhood every week it seems.

So who's the crazy one? The one denying it happens or calling themselves "lucky" tongue in cheek, or the one with a side arm on sitting at his home office desk?

I realize the actual need lies somewhere in the middle. I like to be prepared for the worst while hoping for the best.

I just hope you learn to not leave your handgun at your desk once you have little kids in your house. I don't want to see you on the news because you got up to go take a deuce and the kiddo wandered in and found something new to fidget with.

Thanks for the words of caution but that's not a problem when it's on your hip.

I think its around your ankles in the scenario described

The constantly armed dorks are the same as people who play the lotto every single drawing because they don't want to miss that one day their numbers are drawn.

Having a gun when going to Applebees in the suburbs makes way more sense than carrying to a concert downtown.

Well...you can't be any geek off the street. He's handy with the steel, if you know what I mean.

I don't know about this. Do you have a crime map evidencing this? I've encountered some shady sh** in downtown...obviously midtown is much worse...once had to pull a gun on a guy to get him to stop trying to bash my window in for not paying him for "making sure my car didn't get broken into".

Me, wife and daughter were walking around 11th and Watson in the Heights after dark few weekends ago and got approached by a crazy black dude with dreads who seemed homeless or out of his mind on drugs and I was glad I was armed. At Columbia and White Oak years back a minivan full of cholos rolled up on me and my wife and demanded our money...i told them I only had credit card and that I was armed and they closed the door and sped off.

Yall can mock, but some of us have just had bad luck at times I guess and have been in situations where we felt much more comfortable having protection.

That's all you had to say. Criminals that actually are a threat and would merit drawing a gun on pretty much are going to avoid downtown that is full of cameras on every corner and street, armed cops and security all over and not an easy hop onto a freeway for a fast getaway.

I'm sorry a black man with dreads scared you.
