I've stopped for a while then when my vacations unfortunately coincide with heightened alerts, then I will. Banned? Really? They are worried about your untrained people who have a ccw or criminal element. I am far from untrained or criminal. There have been very few times in my life when my weapon has come out in an off duty status. That is when someone's life is threatened. I am fully aware of what my surroundings (people) are in the parks. I've seen plenty of altercations on the property and am a good witness and I approach security as John Q without telling them who I am. Over the years it is more of a hassle to have it though. Its the same for when I go to sports venues and the security does that highly valuable bag check. If you can't tell, you do not need to know.
Yea, I'm sure your related to Rambo, however, unless you are in the proper place carrying a gun is just fool hardy. If we assume something is going to happen in the park...do you plan in firing into the crowd to save the day or just sneak up behind the bad guys.
I have news for you. Pulling one's service weapon is the last thing we ever want to do. That is our last resort. I don't sneak up on people or fire on a crowd to save the day. If I witness a shoplifter, or fistfight, I keep on walking. That is Orange County or Osceola's problem. Someone's life needs to be in immediate danger. I am talking about someone else having a knife or gun pulled on them. At that point assessments need to be made. What is my target? What is my backstop? Can others be hurt? Newspapers never publish, "Cop doesn't shoot someone, suspect complies, dozens uninjured". That happens every day. You only hear about the bad and never the good. Odds are, you'll never see me, and nothing will happen.Yea, I'm sure your (you're) related to Rambo, however, unless you are in the proper place carrying a gun is just fool hardy.

I couldn't agree with you more on this matter.
Thanks
Well can you blame them? If I owned a restaurant I wouldn't want somebody bringing in Taco Bell.
But if you own a food court, then you really can't stop someone from eating Taco Bell at your tables.
^ And this is why America is failing.
Can gummy bears be used for contraception?
Actually, I guess I forgot to mention that he physically threatened the CM in front of several witnesses. He was shaking his fist at the CM, then grabbing her, and then threatening bodily harm to her and the other CMs around her. I cannot/will not repeat what he said on this family forum. Sorry for the omission, but that does warrant removal as far as I'm concerned.
While you are correct that what this couple did posed no harm, Disney really has no other choice than to not allow it. It would only be a matter of time before it would turn into your typical case of one person ruining it for everyone. A 5 person wedding party off in a corner is no big deal. Someone thinking that it is perfectly OK to stage an elaborate wedding with 200 guests in the middle of the hub (and we all know someone would try this) would be.During a spring trip back in 2009 we witnessed something rather odd. We were on a walkway between Main Street USA and Tomorrowland waiting for Wishes. There was this young couple up against the railing who at first we thought nothing of. As the fireworks began, an older man who was with them pulled out a small piece of paper and started reading something off of it as the couple embraced hands. As it turns out he must have been some legal minister of sorts, because they were getting married right then and there!! No gown or tuxedo, just holding hands as he quietly conducted the speech during the show. It was not bothering anyone, and it was rather cute to watch. My wife commented afterward how special that must have been and congratulated the newlywed couple. Others around us shook hands with and congratulated them. It was no distraction, just magical to see a couple get married during Wishes!
But no less than 15 minutes later ((crowds were really heavy, and we had not made it to the hub of Main Street yet)), two security persons come up and were talking to the couple and the gentleman who performed the wedding. Next thing you know, all 3 are being escorted away. The security were not happy, but we could not hear the full conversation. That was quite possibly the oddest thing to date we have ever seen while at Disney. We did not see the couple again, but a lady who overheard the conversation with officers said the couple had no permission to be married there
To me it was not a bad offense. But what things have you ever seen if any that involve security at Disney escorting people away? Have you ever seen someone get the big "BUSTED" treatment while at WDW?
