PPL Center and Firearms
Does anyone know if they search people/bags for weapons? I'm thinking about going to see a hockey game but I probably wont unless I can bring my carry.

Re: PPL Center and Firearms
Straight from the website (who woulda thought to look there!?)
Firearms/Weapons
All individuals, including off-duty law enforcement officers, are prohibited from bringing firearms or concealed weapons into PPL Center.
Its a safe bet they check or have detectors

Re: PPL Center and Firearms
Seems kinda dumb that they would prohibit off duty LEOs from carrying in there. I'd feel safer if at least LEOs were allowed to carry. Doesn't matter, I won't be going anytime soon.

Re: PPL Center and Firearms
Why?
Just because someone wears a costume and badge to work, does not mean they should get special treatment, extra rights and/or privileges because of their chosen occupation.
If you can point out the clause in the Pennsylvania or U.S. Constitution that allow for this that would be helpful, since I have yet to find it.
Law enforcement officers are just men and woman, like you and I, and should not be treated any differently than you or I.Last edited by Red; October 23rd, 2014 at 05:03 PM.

Re: PPL Center and Firearms
Went to the first concert they had there...concealed carried with no problems. Did not see any detectors nor did I get searched.

Re: PPL Center and Firearms
It's not a costume, it's a uniform. To call it a costume is highlight offensive
And law enforcement go through background checks, lie detector tests, psych evals, etc... most private citizens never go through those. They also get more firearms training than many private citizens ever get, at least in a state like PA with no training requirements (which there shouldn't be)
With that being said, do law enforcement have or should they have MORE Constitutional rights than non-law enforcement? Of course not.
However, it does make sense to allow those individuals to be able to provide additional safety.
I also don't think a place of business should be allowed to restrict anyone's Constitutional right to defend themselves. The events center can deny entry to a person of a specific religion (or lack thereof) or gender or skin color, etc...than they shouldn't be able to discriminate over the choice to carry a firearm

Seems non-sporting events do not have the same level of scruintiny.
Was there with the little ones for Disney On Ice and they just checked bags. No pat downs, wands or metal detectors.
