Penn Cinema put up new signs
« on: June 09, 2013, 11:41:42 PM »
There's a new sign at the bottom of every door on the front of the Penn Cinema Riverfront IMAX 15... We're really not welcome there anymore:



Of course, the sign does not have force of law, so I'll go in there armed as always.

Anyone with a CCDW who would put themselves and their family at risk by going to Wilmington unarmed...
...should probably stay home and wait for the movie to appear on HBO.

I usually don't see door signs  ;).  But I will just avoid the place out of principle.  I usually try to avoid the cities in general anyway.

It doesn't bother me, less Dodge City.

Lucky for them, most of the Wilmies can't read, either.  Wait, maybe that's unlucky for them.  Well, either way, I'd be so busy looking at other patrons that I'd never notice some @@@@ sign next to the ground.
Very few guns are actually "illegal guns."  A gun misappropriated by a criminal is no more of an "illegal gun" than a stolen car is an "illegal car."

No, because I don't have (or want) their iPhone app.
Having said that, please add it, for the benefit of others...

If someone gets shot or stabbed at that establishment can the victim sue the place for not insuring that all on their property do not in fact have any of the prohibited items?

I'm sheepishly admitting that I had to google where this was!  I didnt even know they had a theatre there.  ::::::sigh:::::    some help with my cranial rectal inversion maneuver LOL.

And I don't see a sign either.

What a Minute.

Go unarmed to Wilmington? I thought that was a model city like Philadelphia as far as tax paying citizens and informed voters. After all Obama won by the highest percentages in that area....................OK the bourbon wore off. Kilmington is a craphole.

I am pretty sure you could not go far with suing from discussions on deloc that people had there. My thought is you should. I do get the whole idea of private property, but I do think they should be held accountable. I also think judges in Jersey and MD who deny permits should be subject to legal suit if a person is mugged or something after being denied their permit.


I don't think the criminals will pay attention to the sign though. I Heard on another board that some companies do this for insurance reasons, but I am not sure of that.

Businesses have a general duty to protect patrons from foreseeable harm.  They don't have a duty to protect you from being the victim of a crime, unless they have some reason to believe that their patrons are the specific targets of the criminal actions.  And even then, everyone is a prospective and potential victim. 

Just like you, I tend to think that signs like that are meant to be an assurance that I am entering a "sphere of safety."  Since they can't even guarantee that the movie won't suck, I don't put a lot of stock in their assurances. 

So, their premises lability will pay your medical bills, and that's all that you'll probably get.  If you're lucky, they may throw in a free trashcan-sized popcorn.

Another reason I wait for the DVD in addition to how expensive movies have gotten, How bratty some kids can be and parents wont even attempt to control being another.

In places like this, I use my best judgement. My best judgement says watch the movie somewhere else, or if that option is not available, "sorry I didn't see the sign".

we would be glad to watch it somewhere else, but this is the only IMAX within 40 miles... and we refuse to be shut out of it because some hoplophobe posted a meaningless sign (it means nothing to a criminal, or to my lawyer).
We will go there, and we will carry, and they can go &*^*%^ themselves if they don't like it.
