CC at the Benedum Center

Hey everyone, heading down to the Benedum this weekend and couldn't find anything on their policy of carrying (aka - they don't note it on their FAQ section and don't mention anything of metal detectors, security, etc...).

Since we're going to be walking a couple of blocks back to the parking garage at a rather late hour in the good ol' downtown 'Burgh, you'd better believe I'm going to be carrying. Since I've never been the the Benedum, I figured I'd ask here as I'm guessing some of you folks have been.

I've been to PNC and Mellon Arena without an issue (although Mellon Arena does a "pat down" but I think they just make it look like a check to keep riff-raff from entering)...I have no idea what to expect at the Benedum.

Any info would be appreciated...thanks.

I was down there last Christmas to see the Nutcracker and if memory serves me, their policy is no guns. That being said, their policy didn't prevent me from taking in the XD40 in a shoulder holster. When I went, there were no metal detectors, no pat downs...nothing. I would just do my best to make sure it is really concealed so they don't hassle you.

Appreciate the info...that was the plan anyways, as long as I didn't hear any negatives back from anyone.
