“Tyranny is defined as that which is legal for the government but illegal for the citizenry” -Thomas Jefferson
This is more evidence that any one who has any kind of national organization should make sure they set it up in some small to medium sized city.
Not only should we start moving the various bureaus of the federal government to Omaha, Shreveport etc, organizations like the NFL should not leave their headquarters in places where the culture is against their organization. Too many people are too easily influenced by the culture around them. If I were an NFL owner, firing Goodell and moving the NFL office to some place in the heartland would be two of my top priorities.
I’m all for the 2nd amendment and CC but the typical JBT would disarm you without thinking twice about it. Nice to see them get treated like the hoi poloi.
I went to a major college basketball game at an NBA arena last year. I was armed. They had me go to the security office and write down what seat I would be sitting in. Last night I went to a concert. I was armed. They just called a supervisor over, he checked my ID, and sent me in with a "thank you."
Apparently, the NFL is run by morons.
“in case they come face to face with a criminal whom they had arrested and who may have revenge”
Utter BS, we carried because technically we are obligated to intervene in the case of a violent felony commission or robbery. This is the kind of drivel besides LEO’s that cross the line on police to oppressor/criminal that feeds the us versus them mentality.
“...off-duty police officers ... are not allowed to carry THEIR guns...”
LEO`s, just swap guns with your partner.
Duhhhhhhhhh
I am not a police officer, but I have a concealed carry permit.
I carry a concealed handgun every time I go in the Hampton (Virginia) Coliseum for any event. The management does not like it, but they cannot stop me because Virginia law restricts them from banning concealed weapons on their premises.
I’m pretty sure any arena/stadium in Virginia which has been in any way subsidized by taxpayer dollars is subject to the same legal restriction (those located on school properties excepted, of course).
I go nowhere I cannot carry except when summoned to court duty or such. Other than places with metal detectors I ignore all “you cannot carry here” signs.
The NFL is owned and run by the government (morons).
Which begs the question, why didn't Obama shutdown the NFL ?
Al-Queda will be sooooo happy......................
Besides why go to a game when if football is your thing a 40”+ tv is better anyway?
People with BO, lots of drunks, lots of stupid under 30’s showing their arse, bad and overly expensive food, pay to park, pay too much for ticket, too loud, cannot see most of the time, and really hot since new stadium designs prohibit air flow. Did I mention lots of people with BO.
Why should that argument be restricted to unarmed LEOs? The remainder of the citizenry deserves the same ability defend themselves that the police do.
I think cops should have to abide by the same limitations as citizens. Conversely, citizens should have the same rights as cops.
And FFDO’s ...
This policy makes sense if we are talking about off-duty LEO Jets fans.
Otherwise, it silly.
Hey if I can’t take my gun in then why should an off duty cop?
I know a lot of jurisdictions actually REQUIRE their officers to carry when they’re off-duty.
The should only ban them from carrying into Cleveland Brown games.
