They say there will be no changes in "day to day operations" but we know how THAT goes when foreign companies in gun-hating nations buy up US businesses.
Almost EVERY mall in the US is owned by one of three different real estate management companies--two British and one French--and we're ALL familiar with those annoying "gun busters" signs that are all-too-common on mall entrances...
In NC, this won't effect us--we have a statutory prohibition against carry in movie theaters on the books. But I'm curious to see how this new ownership might impact carry rights in theaters in other parts of the country.
You can be pretty sure that law-abiding citizens aren't allowed to carry in theaters in China. Will Wang Jianlin, Chairman and President of Wanda. A Communist Party member who sits on the nation's top advisory council — and one of the richest people in China, decide to force Chinese-style disarmament on his new property here in the US, under the guise of "private property rights"?
Time will tell.
Perhaps it's time for OCers and CCers to look into streaming video, NetFlix, and online content delivery.
