How long has it been since you were at the theater? According to my recollection, the free-fire zone signs were taken down -- at the bequest of someone here at the NFOA, I thought... am I mistaken about this?

Now, I haven't been to a theater in over a year, so maybe my information is outdated.

I have not been to a movie for quite some time, but Marcus Theaters in Lincoln took the signs down due to multiple comments from pro 2A folk, but mostly because of my eloquently written letter to them.   ::)

The officer also found three knifes in the bag and another knife on Smith, he said. There were also medical supplies, but Arcuri would not elaborate on what they were.

The one thing I found upsetting about this story was that the implication is made that, due to number of firearms and size of his ammo cache, that he is up to no good.  I am not advocating what he did, and maybe it will come out that he did have some odd criminal plans for the theater, but what he possesses at home does not make him a criminal.  By this standard, most of us would be labeled as such.

This type of writing only emboldens the anti 2A crowd and makes those on the fence lean in that direction because they are unaware of what is common amongst us law abiding gun nuts.

Marcus Theaters are not posted in Lincoln... I haven't been to a theater that IS posted in Lincoln, but I stick to the Grand downtown, Southpoint, and Edgewood

If there are any posted movie theaters in Lincoln I don't know about them, but there is one that sells booze, so it may be a 51% alcohol sales business


edit to add the Roth Theater is on campus, so it is a banned place
