Is that Disney or NY?
If some rent-a-cop at Disney asked to "extra search me", I'd just leave. If they refused my leaving, I'd just fight and run. Fuck those clowns.
People seem to care way too much what a badge says.
Even places like Target have "Loss prevention clowns ("officers")" with heads way too big.
I don't stop for regular cops without good reason, no way I'd stop for Paul Blart.
Btw, do you know that Universal Orlando, not sure about DIsney, even has metal detectors at the entrance of EACH COASTER too!? "To make sure no GoPros that could fly off on the ride get on."
Sure...

Their theme park (meaning their property), thus their rules. If you do not like their rules go somewhere else. You could also write letters of complaint to their CEO. Enough letters from enough good folk might get them to change policy. I do not go o NFL games, do not attend concerts or other shows at Madison Square Garden and I avoid other places where I know they prohibit firearms as best I can within reason.
I do try to give my business to places like The Citi Theater At Westbury because they are okay with concealed carry on their premises (at least last time I checked). I once visited Hershey Park in PA while armed and left my gun locked up in their security office at my request even when they told me it would have been okay to carry. I did not want to get it soaked on the water rides nor face the possibility it might fall out of the holster on a roller coaster. They were quite nice about that and obliging to me. I have done the same at some casinos (at others I have carried after checking with security). I try to support those who I know are okay with guns, again as best I can within reason.
As for Disney, screw his memory. I never brought my kids to Disney World just for how the arsehat gave hunters a bad name by making them look like slobs and drunks in Bambi. I imagine, if he was alive today, he would make American gun owners look like Nazis or worse.

In my 2+vyears of security, ive seen many come and go from being big headed. They are ridiculous types of people.
As for the article, should be no surprise. Its for the kids and all.
Yup, I just did the Hershey PA with the kids labor day week. Definitely had no issues carrying, I wore an ankle holster and didn't do log flumes and stuff. We did Camelback water park day before, so the Hershey was gonna be for rides and stuff..best time to go week before labor day..not a soul there, we'd go on the coaster and get off snd go right on..sometimes we were the only 3 on the most famous ones they have even! I'll always plan my future vacas around that week..perfection! But really quick honestly, a firearm can get splashed heavy and even hit heavy with water and still be perfectly fine, just break it down and dry n oil it again. I always think back to the dudes in like Vietnam with their rifles and pistols under water walking through jungles and stuff..still fired. And nowadays ammo is better then it was..

Except for the airport I avoid places that make people go through a metal detector . I figure they're too dangerous to go to if they think like that. At least at the airport and courthouse there are lots of real police with guns and a plan if things go bad. What do they have at places like Disney for plan B, Micky and Goofy on a SWAT team?
May I ask without offending if your severely handicapped..why can't you go??

Last time we were at Hershey Park, my son and I rode water rides about 30 to 40 times on that one day. I don't know if they still have it but we rode on what I think was called Tidal Force at least 20-25 times alone (there were virtually no lines on a rather cool weekday as I remember at the end of the season). I also rode on a few other water rides and on a few roller coasters. Not even considering the possibility of the gun somehow coming out of the holster on a roller coaster, I would have been walking around with my rather expensive pistol, for which I and not the tax payers had paid, in my by then soaking wet fairly expensive leather holster, all day. Then I would have had to wait another 1/2 hour to 45 minutes to get back to our motel and then would have had to clean the pistol and hopefully get the holster dry over the next couple to few days without ruining it. While my gun may have not been ruined nor my holster (less likely for the holster) it was better for me the way I did it.
All the best,

Not exactly sure what grounds they have to arrest you at the entrance as they are not a government agency, but then again, they absolutely do own the county where they are located. Absolutely certain they own the local LEO agency. Just wondering exactly what statute they broke to cause their arrest.

This doesn't make sense. Both Alabama and Louisiana both have reciprocity with Florida.
Since no gun signs have no force of law in Florida, how and why where they arrested.
The only thing I can think of is that they didn't even have licenses from their own home states.

As one who has personal experience with Disney and its security, I can attest to a few things to put minds in the right place to understand in all probability what occurred.
Understand first and foremost, Disney is VERY smart, they employ off duty Sheriff and other LE personnel as their security. Don't think about the $10 hr rent a clowns, these are all in tight and its a tight network. Secondly, they do what ever Disney wants despite the "Legality" of it all... Considering 95% of the park visitors are not FLA. Residents at any given time, they also know nearly 100% are not going to come back and fight a legal battle. That's it, that's all you need to know.
But being Trespassed cannot lead to arrest unless there is something else going on, like a previous trespass occurred, Disney is famous for "Lifetime Trespass" issuances. You can't be detained,, by security, that's kidnapping. Unless of course, like I said. It was off-duty LE which did what Disney wanted and when the Sheriff or its deputies arrived.

The article says neither had a concealed weapon permit.
Were the alligators disarmed as well?
