So how do you approach metal detectors?

Yup. Inside the door is a small hallway that goes into the main room where you can look up and see the painting inside the large dome.

In the corner of the main room is an information desk with an older woman greeting visitors.

I got the pat down at a Pens game and he patted right on the gun inside my waistband. I told hime it was my phone (hooded sweatshirt over it). When he asked to see it I said i'll be back in a little bit. I just walked to the truck and went with the ankle holster I had. They only patted down the waistband. Once inside I went in the pooper and put it back in my IWB holster.

Courthouse in Greensburg has gun lockers for the guards. Your gun will be placed in the locker and you get a receipt. When you leave....give them the receipt and you get your gun back.

There was a metal detector at Planned Parenthood in Pittsburgh when I went with my fiancee a few months back. They also asked for ID for anyone entering the building.

I simply declined even going through, and went outside to harass the crazy-ass abortion protesters for an hour or so. I figured it wouldn't have turned out very fun for me.

Good thing your vote doesn't count, and my friend isn't dumb, but he is brave...and I fixed it for you, smart ass.

The number of people who can legally carry in NJ is very low. The odds were in my favor that he wasn't one of those few. You now see why I'm not normally a gambling man.


Seriously, I'm sorry if I've offended you or your friend.

How'd your friend score a carry permit in Jersey? Wow.

No biggie dude, sorry about the smart ass comment, it's all good.

I guess I could have mentioned the fact that he's 5-0.

How about carrying at the convention center in Philadelphia? I went there for the philly auto show and they had detectors, wasn't old enough to carry at the time so it wasn't an issue.
