+1 but.........Ah heck, never mind.

How can you have a discussion about legal carrying into the establishment and not mention the chance are/or circumstances in which it may be discovered?

Once again, I believe it would be legal to carry into the establishment if you plan on being the designated driver/moral guy. If you plan on partaking of the services offered at the establishment, then I would think it could be illegal because of the likelyhood of the gun being discovered by the entertainer.

Actually, printing can be considered failure to conceal depending on the situation. If it is just a non-descript bulge, then no, not failure to conceal, but if your wearing a pair of spandex with a full size 1911 shoved in the pocket, then that could be considered failure to conceal because you have not made a "reasonable" attempt to conceal the gun.

It's not exactly an accident when you are paying them to do it. Lap dances are known to have intimate contact. Now if some chick at the park sat down on your lap and felt your gun, then no, that would not be failure to conceal, but paying a woman to dance on you and finding your gun would most likely be failure to conceal.

I would say it's legal to carry into a BYOB place as long as you do not get a dance. If you do get a dance, then it may legally be failure to conceal because you allowed yourself to be put in that situation and knew what happens during those dances and paid for it.

Im glad someone had the cajones to post this!!!

I've thought about it and wondered myself.

hhmmm...I may have to chase down my old super redhawk .44 mag with the 10 inch barrel and pick up a pair of ThunderWear!

Im sure I'd be the talk of the club!!!!!!!!
