getting caught with a bm 960 at disneyland

At ball games or theme parks I just clip my knife on the inside of my waistband under my belt. Best way to carry concealed in my opinion.

Being a police officer I have a lot of trouble leaving my firearm at home when traveling to these places as its not allowed so I WILL have something better than having nothing.

I'd be curious to know if any of the "no knives" places mentioned have ever actually experienced a stabbing incident involving a pocket knife (or any type of blade for that matter). My naive guess would be a big NO. I always find it silly to deal with a problem that doesn't actually exist.

Still, if that's their policy and I chose to go there, I wouldn't argue with them. I'm just not really that worried about being without a knife at an amusement park.
 
i feel naked without a knife. always have, which is where the knob creek came in. if i'm gonna be naked in public, i may as well be drunk, too.
if i'm going some place that prohibits weapons... well, my knife isn't a weapon. if i'm at
a concert or amusement park, i'll usually just leave the knife in the car... and catch a buzz.
my workplace prohibits carrying a knife, and issues box knives... i carry and regularly use my Izula cutting tape, boxes, twine, etc. they might fire me one of these days.
 
Considering the great adventurous stories that are backed by Disney, they really should allow a basic SAK. I mean, I am behind their right to control their park, but they are a little hypocritical I must say. Seriously all I want is my SAK to be guaranteed to be okay.

Weapons and Edges:

Ahem -Davy Crocket, Tom Sawyer's Island, Indiana Jones, Peter Pan, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Sword in the Stone, pretty much all the Princess stories involved princes with swords, et cetera.

That right there is what makes me feel better. A police officer doing the same thing as civilians. I know the places that dont allow knives but i feel so much safer having atleast some type of protection. I always have a small knife on my keys. But i have been trying to find a way to keep my tenacious with me as well. But ya Rick I salute you. Im a future police officer and there is an officer at my old highschool that had no choice but to kick me out of school (i was a visitor seeing my girlfriend) I had my tenacious with me. The officer on the campus knew me and understood exactly why i had it with me. I was telling him how its second nature for me to wake up and slip a knife into my jeans and leave. When i got into his office to talk to him he then pulled out his new knife ( a CS recon 1) and he was talking about how he wanted to get other knives and i told him about some other knives to look at and we talked for a good hour about knives until he was like ya you should have been kicked out by now.

Sorry for rambling just wanted to thank you Rick :)

Same thing happened two years ago when I was going in to the arch in St. Louis. Had my Kershaw Blur in my pocket when I saw the sign that said "no spring assisted knives". Who knew? Ranger asked to see it, said, "nope, take it off the property" so I had to walk all the way back to the parking garage and put it in the car. If it had been a straight folder, with an even longer blade I could have kept it. Where's the logic there?

You might take out your knife too fast. Duh.
 
I took my class for my CCW renewal tonight, and the guy who taught the class said that you can carry with a CCW in Disneyland. He said that Disneyland allows it - when you get to the screening point, ask for a police screen (Anaheim PD has officers there). Show them your permit, and they let you in.
 
on one of the Renaissance Festivals here in a las vegas park... i was stopped from carrying i believe a benchmade osborne or a kershaw... these blades maybe run less than 4 inches staring at it... while men in suit and armor carrying maces, axes, broadswords and whatever big hummongous swords they at a renaissance festival decide to carry can...
now even if i was a gang banger intent of stabbing someone - i think the last place i would try something is in one of those festivals - i've never understood why....i even asked the guy who pat me down... why? no clear answer for me sir...

the level of butthurt over a private company asking you not to bring knives onto their property is astonishing.

Disney has a culture, an attitude and an atmosphere that they are working hard to create and maintain. Maybe you dont agree with that, I personally think they go a bit overboard but they are the ONLY ones with rights in this situation. They dont want you drinking alcohol, but I dont see anyone complaining about that. Im sure some of you guys who are crying about it have kids too. If your kid came to my house, you wouldnt want me to show them pornography or something similarly age inappropriate would you? Or how about leaving a gun out? We probably have differing opinions about what is appropriate for children of a certain age, yet I would respect your wishes.

I dont see Disney as being any different.

the 2nd amd. said nothing about alcohol being a right and it also doesn't restrict by address or zipcode
 
rights on!!! Well said , and needs to be said(yelled) more often from a from a higher plain than this. I think I read somthing,one time about a government of the people for the people by the people,Imust have been mistaken, it doesn't sound right :confused:
 
I just put my knife in my shoe whenever I see that they are wanding. Security at theme parks generally don't wand that far, and if they do, i tell them I had rods put in my feet after surgery for an injury. Hasn't failed me yet. I don't go anywhere without a knife. On a related note, when I was a kid, Angels stadium once made my parents(who are both cops) take there guns back to the car. Amazing where this world is headed.

do you have a point or are you simply reminding me that we have at least 2 amendments?

oh and p.s. the 21st amendment actually does protect you from the federal government outlawing alcohol by fiat through case law.

if you are trying to imply you have a right to bear arms on private property I would say to you that you are 100% demonstrably false, as has already been previously discussed in this very thread.

quoting this for posterity.
 
Also, if there is still any confusion, you CAN drink alcohol at Disney's California Adventure Park which is right next door to the Disneyland Park (The Monorail goes through both parks).

Beers, wines, and Margaritas. -Its nice.

In the eighties there was a stabbing at Disneyland. The victim died because the Disney cops tried to discretely drive him to a hospital rather than call an ambulance and ruin the Happiest Place on Earth illusion..

Personally I've carried an Al Mar SLB in there with no problems, but it was in my pocket, not clipped...

And I bet if you went there again and asked another security guard, they would tell you something different. Unless they can point to some written policy of the Disney company on blades in their parks, based on what I have seen and heard others say, the restrictions on blades are totally arbitrary and up to the guards in question.

Without an official, written policy any guard can turn you away at the gate for any knife, no matter how small, and you have no recourse. So you have to either ditch the knife or you don't go in. What will it be, a $100 knife or the vaction your kid has been dreaming about all year, and that you probably spend hundred of dollars just for the park tickets. They know that they have you over a barrel. :rolleyes:

I was spotted over 50 feet away with a kershaw pocket clip by Disney security a few years ago. He measured the blade against the front of his uniform shirt where the buttons run vertically and said it was ok to keep on me, just to keep it in my pocket - not clipped or visible.
 
Hi rourtex23 -

I have had a similar experience a couple of times -

First was at an airport - I had forgotten that we have lost our rights to have even the smallest blade on an airplane, and had my constant companion Vic Waiter with me - I ran all the way back out to my truck with my laptop on my shoulder because I was NOT going to lose that Vic.

In another stupid overreaction to "terrorism", I was at the Hoover Dam with my wife, and we had decided to take the overly expensive tour of the inside of the dam. You have to walk through a metal detector, and they asked me if I had any "weapons". I said no, just this little pocket knife. "You cannot come in here with that weapon, sir!"

I told the "officer" lady "Thanks for saving me $60, but I have to ask, are you afraid someone will commandeer the dam with a 3" pocketknife?" She just looked at me incredulously.

The problem with common sense is that is is just not that common anymore.

best regards -
