Sovereign Center
Any ideas or experience with CC to the Sovereign Center or the Sovereign Performing Arts Center (Rajah)- are they posted or any problems? I haven't CC'd in a few years to the Center and had no problem with a pocket carry. Wanding? Pat downs? issues? JUst asking for the benefit of all of us.

Re: Sovereign Center
I've been to both for a few concerts recently and every time was patted down or wanded. More so patted down. I wouldn't recommend trying but its up to you if you do. Not sure if it's posted as I never bothered to look. Just kind of always assumed it's a big no no.

Re: Sovereign Center
Only had a pat down going to a head banger (not my choice) show. Every other concert or football or hockey game was no problem, they just looked you over, if that.

Re: Sovereign Center
So, do I write a letter and cite the statute on preemption or do we have to carry and then go through the legal process?

Re: Sovereign Center
I've attended numerous hockey games @ the SC. not to mention the Matchbox 20 show last year. Not only was I CC'd every time i set foot into the building but i also carry a clip pocket knife on my person (like always). no pat downs tho there was very much law enforcement presence. I DID however get repremanded twice for digital camera use.
After reading the rules for the SC. i have no intentions on changing my rhythm.
