Uncle Teddy doesn't allow firearms at show?

Post by bignflnut »

ROANOKE, Va. - Famous rocker Ted Nugent performed in Roanoke on Tuesday night despite protests in the weeks leading up to the show. Nugent is a gun rights supporter and encourages open carry, but his fans were told at the last minute that they were not allowed to bring their guns inside the Berglund Performing Arts Theater.

It was Ted Nugent's management that made the decision to not allow guns into the show. The Berglund Center said because it is city owned, it can't keep guns out unless the performers are the ones who request it, and that it was actually in Nugent's contract all along, but was in a sub-contract between Nugent and his promoter that wasn't shared with Berglund Center management until the last minute.

The announcement came as a change to prior rules where the venue discouraged guns, but couldn't ban people from bringing them on property. Most standing in line didn't even realize guns were at one point allowed in based on our off-the-cuff conversations with people. Two fans did have their guns turned away from the show, according to Schon, and Roanoke police had already brought in an increased presence in case something escalated.

"There's always that concern when other people are armed; however, if they're carrying legally, then we expect them to behave and act accordingly," Roanoke Police Lt. Jason Holt said, specifically citing events such as the Charlottesville riots where people did the opposite.
I'm sure this will become a "misunderstanding" or "fake news" or something...just an interesting "controversy".

Ted Nugent denied the report that he barred firearms from his show in a Facebook post:

"Dear God in heaven & damn the fakenews lying bastards! I gave the direct order tonight that guns were absolutely welcome to my concert. The media cannot be trusted. They are consumed with hate and dishonesty. We had a phenomenal concert tonight as I offered prayers for the soulless crazed hateful protesters. America be aware that the media is infested with America haters and liars. Meanwhile thank you Roanoke for a wonderful #6703 ultimate rockout! God bless you all. To hell with the lying punks."

Fans who plan to see rocker and gun rights activist Ted Nugent won’t be able to bring their guns into the Rose Music Center for his concert on Tuesday night, according to the venue’s policies.

The venue, which is owned by the city of Huber Heights, has a policy that prohibits weapons on its premises. Weapons of any kind are banned, regardless of a concealed carry permit.

Nugent’s fans were barred from bringing their guns into a concert in Virginia last week, local TV station WSLS reported.

From the original news link:
Wednesday morning, Schon told 10 News, "we stand by what we said Tuesday night and that is the end of our Ted Nugent story."

We've asked to see the contract; however, it cannot be acquired through a Freedom of Information Act request and it does not contain the language regarding the gun decision.
