I am a little confused because I am new to Indiana and still with Michigan laws in my head. In Michigan it is illegal to enter an entertainment facility(depending on size/seating/etc) with a firearm, even with a Michigan Concealed Pistol License. So, question: Are there any laws restricting carrying (with LTCH) into these large entertainment facility, like Lucas Stadium.
Also, if they are looking for weapons and wanding people, is there signage stating such?
did they wand ankles? I went to a pacers game last season and they had wands. I was carrying my g23 in a belly band right near by belt buckle (pretty low and deeply concealed) I just picked one of the "guards" that looked like he didn't know what he was doing. a.k.a. one that was clearly not a cop moonlighting as security. Im pretty sure he had the wand backwards when he wanded me cuz it went right over the gun and didn't make a noise.
However, before I walked away he had me lift my pant legs to make sure I wasn't carrying on my ankle. Which sucks because my backup plan to getting into places like this is to carry my j-frame on my ankle then when I get in go to the bathroom and switch to pocket carry.
Go downtown unprotected and you may get the chance to prove that last statement.
I hope that (proving it) doesn't happen to you or anyone else, and thank you for the update.
Blessings,
Bill
Maybe it was so "tight" tonight because it looks like there's only about 100 people in the stands
NOOOOOO that's impossible! Things never get said on the internet that can come back to hurt us in real life! It's just the internet!They were wanding at the media entrance, too. They use to just do a quick pat-down.
Maybe someone in security has been reading INGO?
Fyi for all you Colts fans....last year NFL called for pat downs of everyone. They we weak and I know I heard people taking about deep CC there as nobody prefers to be downtown without a gun. Well this year Lucas oil kicked it up a notch and you get wanded before going in. So be careful unless you want you ticket revoked!
Not just Lucas Oil, it's league wide policy. I'm going to a Browns game in October and got a notice about the new security measures. I'm actually glad for it.
The pat downs were so dumb and just held up the line and wouldn't catch anything.
Now at least if I'm standing in a line I know it MIGHT be for a legit reason.
What's worse than being in downtown Indy unarmed? Being downtown Cleveland unarmed.
How about just not going to an NFL venue in the first place? Especially Lucas Oil stadium, or just about any place that takes tax dollars from us and then restricts our constitutional rights while on "their" property. EFF the NFL! They won't get a dime from me.
You can afford to actually go to a game? Congrats! But why spend that money on a ticket instead of on another firearm and watch the NFL from the comfort of your home or favorite sports bar?

They weren't THAT bad. They lost a lot of close games that could have gone either way... Especially if we had had a better coach.I thought the answer was being forced to watch last year's Colts play.
