I volunteer for a children's organization my kids are involved in. For fundraising, we run Bingo several bingo sessions at a local bingo hall.

Last week, some guy walked in with his family to play bingo with a firearm strapped to his side. One of my fellow managers ho was working that session didn't know what to do (nothing) and reported it to the executive director of the children's group. She immediately convened an emergency board meeting for the non-profit and they unanimously passed a no firearms policy for organization, including fundraising, instructing us to post the new policy on the doors of the bingo hall when we host sessions.

We normally hire off-duty police as security, but lately, not many of the shifts have been filled - not enough cops to fill all the over-time/off-duty opportunities. On nights I manage, I always carry. Now they want us to post that there are no guns when there are often no police. And we have thousands of dollars, sometimes over $10,000 on hand.

Four years ago, another group at the hall was robbed at gunpoint at the end of the session.

I fired off an email to the exec director informing her I would no longer manage any games under the policy. The Bingo Hall is a known target for robbers, security has been absent and that they will now be putting volunteers at greater risk by advertising that the bingo hall will have no armed people and lots of cash. JHC - they're going to get somebody killed.

If you decide to continue to work the sessions, I'd just ignore the rule. Fug em.

Liberal bastages already got people killed - all around the country.

Its what they do best!

They are clueless! To them a gun means a bad guy. They don't understand that a guy who doesn't mind you seeing his gun or anyone with a CCW is in fact a good guy. The best defense against bad guys, (those who will be illegally armed with intent to do harm,no matter how many signs you hang or rules you make), is a bunch of armed good guys.

meanwhile john fuggen wayne with the open carry is right now at the waffle house shoveling a schitty omelete and reveling in his manliness.

Or Burger King. I swear there's a guy around town who follows me, and he's wearing a plastic Ruger of some sort in a nylon holster. I've seen him in various establishments all over town. I kinda get a kick out of it. Cheap azz holster and no doubt the cheapest Ruger he could find, too.

Then, there's the lesbian couple who were carrying in another place a month or so back. It was supposed to be concealed, but she did a poor job of it. I cannot imagine anyone trying to tag that one, regardless, and her pardner was equally unattractive.

Open carry around town doesn't make any sense to me, regardless of legality. Out of town, okay, in town, keep it hidden.

Concealed or open don't mean a thing to me.
When it comes out of the holster - my attention is undivided!
