Carrying a firearm in WDW

[Master Yoda]

And so, apparently, you should be ready to blow that pedophile away.

Which does society a favor, but would certainly cause an instant refurb.

If that is the case I'll be packing and watching next time I am on JII. If a 9 mm hole in a pedophile it what is all it will take to get that ride redone then so be it.:lol:

No offensive to anyone I don't feel that it would be a wise decision to carry a firearm , no matter how safe on a roller coaster, but its a personal choice, now saying that it is also private property and thats a whole other story as well. If it was me I'd say leave it home, now in the case of an FBI agent or US Marshal thats a different case being a Federal Agent they would have jurisdiction, but if you just carry to carry with a concealed permit I would say not worth the hassle.

And thats coming from the guy in the open carry state where you don't need a permit just register the gun as long as its not concealed your good to go.

Not the only state.

NH has no permit open carry as well. I was close to moving there for a time. Not because of the open carry, but it was something I found out while looking at the area.

Archie was right more often than we'd care to admit. Problem is, the writers of the show were so left wing that they did a very good job taking some otherwise good ideas and making them look ridiculous by having an ignorant hick expressing them.

Having said that, I love watching that show, as I find it quite hillarious even though I know they are willfully stereotyping and cariciturizing (sp?) people from my ideological camp.

And having said all that, I'm also not sure I would go quite so far as endorsing a policy of allowing all guests on a plane to carry a gun on the flight, although I can't say I'm totally against the idea either.

I always loved Archie's opinion on faith

"It ain't supposed to make sense; it's faith. Faith is something that you believe that nobody in his right mind would believe. "

I could spend alot of time on here posting favorite Archie quotes, but I'm afraid that would result in some major thread drift! :ROFLOL:

But somewhat on topic, in relation to the whole "bare arms" thing mentioned a while back, here is one of my favorite Edith quotes. Archie and Edith were in a motel and they noticed the adult movie listing on top of the TV set. Archie was unpacking, and Edith was looking at the adult movie menu, and she read a title out loud. "Goldilocks and the Three Bears; Oh my...look how they spell Bears!" :ROFLOL::ROFLOL::ROFLOL:

Now - having said all that I would NEVER enter a Disney park armed, even if Disney said I could It's two issues - threat level (VERY low), and safety (how embarasing to have ones pistol depart in the middle of Space Mountain, or encounter a grabby 4 year old in the HM).

Thanks for being considerate. Not all who carry are as considerate as you.

Uniformed Officers (REAL Police, not Security Personel) probably have a real problem here... for folks that do not know this: MANY (in fact MOST) Departments REQUIRE an LEO to carry a weapon - ON and OFF DUTY. I have no idea how Disney handles this...

IIRC, if you are off-duty, you check your weapon with security.

I dont feel safe knowing people around me have guns.

Just my eleven cents.

+1. I grew up in essentially the third world (Puerto Rico), where if you have a gun, you're either a cop (corrupt here), a politician (just as corrupt) a criminal (sometimes indistinguishable from the first two), or you attract criminals and have to protect yourself (at which point, I don't want to be around you).

Furthermore, we've had 62 murders in the past 26 days.

I'm quite nervous of guns, and don't trust anyone with one when they carry it. Even police officers. I don't think anyone should have the power to take my life, even if they don't exercise it.

And I feel safer because of it. Of course, that only applies to responsible gun owners. I've always felt uncomfortable with thugs and criminals around.

Would it bother you if I said that I don't consider gun ownership to be responsible in any way?

Is this for real?

Carrying a firearm into WDW is beyond ridiculous. There is no good reason to carry one in the park what-so-ever. Yes, we all know it's a "constitutional right", the Government boogeymen are coming to take our guns away, etc. etc. If you're that insecure, maybe you should stay home and vacation at the local gun club.

Nothing good AT ALL can come from one carrying a gun into a WDW theme park. The only reason there are those who feel the "need" to carry in WDW is a personal delusion that only benefits themselves. I seriously doubt anyone is going to be jumped in a park and I also doubt that guns have made it in as much as people brag. Disney knows a lot more of what goes on in their parks then they let on.

Even though some like to think they should be allowed to do whatever they want, where ever they want, WDW is a private destination open to the public. You can be removed at anytime, for any reason they see fit. If you don't like their rules, don't go.

I have guns and carry a gun. I believe every American citizen over 21 should as well, with those who abuse the right having it taken away. Even if this belief were true, we would still need some sort of control and lawness. :king:

I've grown up around guns, so the sight of them doesn't bother me at all. If I were at WDW and saw someone packing a rod, I really don't think it would bother me at all.

But I do find it amusing that in these types of threads (ones pertaining to guns at WDW), the anti-gun people inevitably argue that you're at WDW of all places, and that there is no crime there, and therefore no need to even be concerned with self defense since you're in this crime free paradise.

Then, you hop over to those child molestation threads, where people argue that WDW is the perfect haven for pedophiles and perverts and anyone else who wants to fondle or abduct your child.

So according to some, WDW is a perfect utopia where you shouldn't even think about safety or self defense, and according to others, you bring your children at their own risk, because there's bound to be a pedophile hiding behind every tree and in every bathroom stall, ready to jump your kid the moment your back is turned.

:ROFLOL:

Pedophiles are the weakest scumbags on Earth. To shoot one would be wasting a bullet. Besides, wouldn't there be more satisfaction from beating the tar out of them?

Plenty of room for the pro gun agenda, but you delete my anti gun post.

Typical.

I'm not saying that such a thing would be enough of a life threatening situation to justify shooting someone. I'm just pointing out the irony that, on the one hand, apparently there is never any crime at such a place as WDW, so it's ludicrous to even think about packing a means of self defense. On the other hand, though, according to some, compared to WDW, you've never seen a more wretched hive of scum and villany (to quote Obi-Wan Kenobi, LOL), and you can't even send your 10 year old into the bathroom alone, lest someone be waiting in the stall to rape him.

Wouldn't she just keep it in her purse? But I agree that swimming would be an issue - regardless of gender.

Yeah, they said put it in your purse but I don't carry a purse 100% of the time. Could you imagine trying to dig down to the bottom thru all the crap to find it (sorta like finding your keys) when you need it? And then there's purse-snatchers or forgetting your purse somewhere. Heaven forbid you place your weapon in someone elses' hands. I just don't see the purse being a good option. At the time (I was due to start the academy the day Hurricane Katrina hit so I truly was going to be the woman with the gun although *not* at WDW) I figured I'd just have to look like a cowboy or break the rules. Seriously, if you went the cowboy route you'd likely scare people or invite trouble neither of which are good. Me & my rebel-self saw these as very valid arguments for breaking the rule which always held a certain appeal. LOL!

It certainly wouldn't be the first time we've disagreed.

But I think that we can agree that WDW parks aren't the places to be packing heat, regardless of how we might think about gun ownership in general.

As an aside to this topic (I won't post my personal opinion because I don't feel that really adds anything to the conversation)...

...I would be interested to know if Disney has plain-clothes security or plain-clothes paid detail officers wandering amongst us in the parks. I'd like to think there are. If not, where's the suggestion box? I'd like to put in my application for that job.

It wasn't your sentiment, but how you expressed it. You might have noticed that others who shared your views were, and are, quite welcome to express them.

I've restored the post so that you can compare.

I think you can go ahead and re-remove it.

They do have plain clothes security. I've noticed them a few times without really trying too hard to find them when browsing through stores. But one time I saw a normal blue costumed security guard talking to a plain closed one on the corner by Casey's. I almost followed the plain closed around to see what they were up to, but I had other stuff to do that day.

where is it?

Go ahead and get all 9th Ammendamental on me. Your agressive responses will be sufficient to make my point.

The 9th amendment has nothing to do with weapons. It's the silent little amendment that basically states that not every right we have is in the constitution. Such as the right to air travel (that's a right!), and is used as an argument on both sides of the fence for many hot topics, such as gay marriage, legalization of marijuana, etc.

 

[JimboJones123]

I am over it now. Glad to have it off my back. Whew. I feel like a million bucks of sunshine, however you calculate that???

I jest since I really have no clue which bill is which. I was just helping others exploit my stupidity and took a stab at 9th.

These discussions can get a little heated sometimes, hence the "in before the lock" posts.
