Will guns be allowed in the stadium, though? I mean, it's not ILLEGAL to bring a lot of things in, but they are still banned by the stadium.
As has been started before in the thread, fans are not currently searched when entering the stadium so this isnt really going to change anything. The only security we have in place now at the gates are tables where people with bags are supposed to go and have them looked through. That involves you opening the bag, them glancing in and then you moving on. I've been to high school sporting events that have more security than what we currently have at Arkansas football games.

Sure, as long as there is some sort of measure in place that bars them from consuming alcohol and instills penalties for anyone caught carrying and drinking. Like, I dunno, beating you in the head with a cane.
There already is laws in place where you are not supposed to be carrying a gun while drunk, hell if one goes to a bar afterwards they cannot bring a gun.

Open carry at Arkansas? Someone put Bert on notice.

The only section that gets checked at all is the Student Section.
I could bring a freaking machine gun in the stadium under a trench coat. They dont pat down or anything.

It is nice in 2017 the SEC thinks people are still working that fanny pack.

Sporting events are an ideal place for mass killings, would you not agree?
Let just ONE isis a-hole in right now before this becomes law and he could kill
several people.

It will change things.
I personally don't sneak booze in to games because I'd prefer to get loaded beforehand and not risk the small chance of getting busted and missing the game. But if they suddenly said "everybody over 21 is welcome to bring in booze", I'd be bringing beer in by the briefcase.
Likewise, a reasonable individual isn't going to try to sneak in a gun for shits and giggles and face the possible (much more severe) penalties. However, if folks are legally allowed to bring their firearms, many will.
Nobody is arguing that this will make any difference if someone was really hell bent on sneaking a gun in and shooting folks. However, legally bringing weapons into an environment filled with passion, alcohol, and 80,000 other people seems absurd. The first time some drunk concealed carry baw points a gun at a mouthy opposing fan...that's gonna make the University look wonderful.

Because no opposing fan is gonna go there. Most don't already.
But hey, at least teams and their fans will fear Arkansas for something.

How are they going to keep the people that will have guns from drinking at tailgates? This seems like a horribly stupid idea.
-Goes to Arkansas game, South Carolina wins, gets shot for being opposing fan-

Anyone with a brain that's been to SEC games, especially big ones, realizes this is a terrible idea.
People like Korbin and others that are happy for it are the same dolts that think the gays and LGBT community are gonna come door to door and take everyone's guns. Then spray paint their house rainbow colored while they gay hump in their bushes singing Cher.

Seems unnecessary.
Is this a serious question?
Houses of worship are a very common target of mass shooting events.

It wasn't even really a funny mental image tho???
Anyway, as has been stated numerous times in this thread- the security was very lax anyway. They basically had you open your purse and that's it. People could have had them with them and no one would have even known. To my knowledge, there's been no refs, opponent fans, etc. shot at a razorback game in the past.
