1) Technically, he said "it sounds like this could be planned by Disney." He didnt accuse anything, simply suggested it.
2) People pointed and laughed at some histories greatest men and women.

People taking a reactionary "I won't let the media think for me!" while failing to think it through is a bigger problem. Be as cynical as you want, question as much as you like, but use logic when you do so.
Could Disney have staged this? Yes they could. What advantage would they get? To show how good their security is perhaps? Of course they might also scare people away by making them think they are a target for mass shooters... Not really a smart play is it? And that's assuming they were able to do this and not get caught out. Which is again, unlikely.
On the other hand, we know these sorts of things happen all over the US (just pick up a newspaper any day of the week) and it's hardly the first time that someone has attempted to smuggle a gun into the Magic Kingdom.
So you tell me, which is the more likely scenario here?

1) He did so it's fuzzy enough he wouldn't be sued (not that he would have been anyway). But it's basically just accusation by innuendo.
2) True, but they actually built up their a case using facts and evidence. You know... the stuff that is completely missing here.

The bizarre behavior of the guy is the only thing that might at all suggest it is some sort of bad stunt. The fact he was a lawyer even makes it more suspect. Having said that, I don't think WDW would ever resort to this sort of stunt, only because the backlash would be insanely bad.
Amazing how you easily derailed this thread and made it about yourself.....
1) Im always down for some spicy innuendo
2) Good point
Fair enough. Lets just say it was the Annunaki working for the Illuminati and Count Chocula.
A "lifestyler" person I know posted on FB that he knows people that Conceal Carry into MK all the time.

Based on how some of them act, I'd like to protect myself from some of their mob mentality.
... Then you're just a troll. Welcome to the ignore list.
I could understand a persons desire to feel safe by carrying their fire arm with them in the event that something goes down. But I have a larger fear of the lack of experience and training most people have in an actual shootout. So many people take a fire arms class and all of the sudden think they are ready for a war zone. When bullets start flying though, they will most likely panic and just start shooting in whatever direction they can. Not exactly helpful.
ETA: Im aware that they are people who can handle themselves and their gun properly that would not just shoot randomly.

There was a report a couple of years back of a loaded gun found on one of the rides. I think it was AK?
I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express once.

Yeah I remember that. It was a pocket 380 on dinsaur. As a gun owner I find it appalling that if you carry your gun it is not in a holster with some form of trigger guard.

Love how you don't take crap from anyone!
If i remember, it was someone who had a proper license to carry it. So he was simply asked to leave for the day and came back the next day, without his firearm.
Here's the story.

Something that I would find more believable, is that maybe this guy wanted to prove that he could smuggle a gun into Disney... maybe to make a point about the security. Of course... just speculations. we'll probably never know what his intentions were or if he had any.

While I understand the right to bear arms I fail to understand the reasoning behind bringing a gun to WDW. Guns at WDW is a pretty scary thought.
