So.....
Had a seriously detrimental experience at Joe Louis Arena tonight. Firstly, the place is a weapons free zone, even though its owned by the City of Detroit. So I OC'd an empty holster. The Old Geezer security goon wasn't too happy that I had it but couldn't make me take it off. He ALSO tried to confiscate my 3" folding Kershaw pocket knife, saying I had to either put it back in my car or they would take it and destroy it. After several minutes of discussion, an unwavering supervisor and refusal to "check it" like to do other parcels and bags that people bring in that are prohibited, I returned it to my car. Oh, did I mention that the security goon had Federal goon backup? Going in the west entrance of the Joe, the metal detectors are backed up by an ICE agent, in BDUs and carrying... wait for it..... A SIDEARM!
Go figure.
