Really? Have you ever seen some of the horribly sketchy parking areas around the GA dome? I'd say a Falcons game is EXACTLY the kind of situation I'd love to be able to carry my firearm.Originally Posted by BanginJimmy
Same goes for a Braves game, and Hawks/Thrashers games if you are not lucky enough to get into the deck across from Phillips Arena.
If a criminal were smart (some are) then they'd be on the prowl at just such events to catch people before they get back to their vehicles where their firearm would be located since they cannot carry to/in the sporting event.
I understand the obvious reasons for not allowing firearms within the venue - drinking, opposing fans arguing, crowds being unruly/rude to each other, etc. Too bad there isn't a way for those who want to carry to/from their cars to check their firearms in when they arrive at a venue, then retrieve the firearm when they leave. That shit would be crazy harrasing, but awesome at the same time.
*EDIT*
Just wanted to ask this question since I just read someone's post about turning a firearm into security - is this possible at our Atlanta sporting venues? The walk to the car post-game is pretty tense without a pistol.
