Went to Tulips in FW and the guy at the door was making the men turn their pockets inside out and searching any bags women were carrying. I had to take my pocketknife back to the truck, it was only a 3.5" blade but they were not allowing any pocketknives. I asked the the guy is this still Texas and he got a little pissy. Is this common just to get into a bar now? Are we turning into a state of sissies?

That’s an outrage! Call Univision out there to do an investigative report.

The last stripper dive bar I entered. The bouncer would pat you down. This is an off the wall place here in notorious downtown Killeen. Decent looking women.
I had a pocket knife clipped to my pocket. An OTF dagger. The bouncer ran his hand over it. He knew I had it. He let me through like I didn't.

Mostly a bunch of old white guys and their wives. Never heard of a stabbing at a bluegrass jam. Although Bob Davis could probably get pretty rowdy.

Not uncommon in bars or large venue gatherings. I had to mail a small pocketknife home from Globe Life Field a couple years ago. If I'm going where there is going to be a pat down, shakedown, wanding, or walk through detectors I don't take anything but key fob, wallet and phone.

I do not understand why you are upset. The bar is trying to protect their patrons and themselves.

I do not understand why you are upset. The bar is trying to protect their patrons and themselves. I'm old school I guess. I grew up in when a pocketknife was just a tool and a basic necessity. If a guy wanted to bring a knife into the bar he could easily conceal it to get through the security check. Not all bars do this, first for me. I remember when the bars west of FW on 80 gave you a knife if you didn't bring one.

Why bring a knife to a gun fight?

I would be thinking pretty hard about going somewhere else while walking back to the truck.
This happened to me at a Frisco rough riders game. In that case, they already had my money, I did the walk of shame, which is really a walk of disgruntled anger

I think it’s silly they made you put a 3.5” pocket knife in your truck, but if it’s just a tool, why bring it to the bar? What task were you expecting to have to do at a bar that required a tool? Why not a screw driver or a hammer? I understand (and agree with) the outrage, but a knife isn’t just a tool and, if it is just a tool, there isn’t a need for it, at least any more than any other tool, in the bar as a patron.

This is the way the world is supposed to work. When your finally old enough to care about [censored] like this it’s a sign that your too damn old to be going to bars!

It's the space between your ride and the door. Maybe you threw enough money at a stripper she ignores the other guy. Other guy gets upset. Other guy decides to try and throttle you....In the space between your ride and the door. I didn't even drink at the stripper bar I went to. Oh Hell No. If they gotta search you at the door. Nobody is preaching the good book inside.

Nobody is preaching the good book inside. You don’t need a tool if you’re attacked, you need a weapon. I agree that it’s silly to not be able to carry a pocket knife into a bar, I just think the tool argument is flawed. That’s the point I’m making.
