Two weekends ago I went with the GF and her friends to Peppers in ripple. I was DD and wasn't drinking plus we were only going to be out for about an hour so I kept my G27 in the Comp-tec and went out.
I had been to Peppers before but it was a long time ago. When we enter the door the bouncer checked my GF's ID and she went in (no cover ladies night) I then had my id check and I went to walk around the bouncer and he side step in my way and then started patting me down. Before I even had time to object he said "ok go ahead of pay." My gf's face was priceless she thought I was going to get arrested or something.
I was like ok whatever and paid and went in. The thing that got me was he hit my G27 and didn't even notice. I probably should have just left after that. But the way I figured he didn't catch it so why do I care. So I went in with my G27 and stayed for about an hour and left.
They didn't have any signs posted about no firearms or anything. And I figured I didn't have a duty to inform him. I guess firearms are allowed he must have been patting me down looking for bombs or something . Not to mention I also had my Kel-tec p3at in a wallet holster in my jacket, a emerson knife, and a can of mace.
While in there they had a very high security presence. I even noticed one bouncer that was walking around looking at people's right side for firearms I think.
I explained to my GF that I wasn't breaking any laws and if they did notice after I was in there and they objected then they could kindly ask me to leave.
Needless to say I won't be back there. Just thought I would pass on the information that you will be patted down if you are a male going into peppers in ripple. But they sure as hell suck at patting down. Which is a bad thing considering the clientele should be check extensively.
