Q: Rick, this may sound like a silly question but I am sure I am not the only wondering this. Do you know the procedure at the Fox Theater for LEO personnel off duty? I sent them an email asking about their procedure because when I visit there later this year I don't want a big scene made going through security. Thanks. BTW I also have not had time to call them.
A: I don't have an answer for you. The statute clearly allows an exemption for off-duty law enforcement officers (LEOs) to carry their firearms in pistol free zones (PFZs).However, it is ultimately up to the discretion of the private property owner/management as to whether they will allow you to attend their venue while armed. A phone call or preferably an email could yield the answer you seek.
If allowed, they will presumably direct you how to most effectively navigate through their screening stations without creating a distraction. Good luck.
