Hey everybody another thread about carrying in a stadium in Indy! I've gotten in pacer games with a g23 before, Indiana Ice games don't have wanding IIRC.
It's all about what and how you carry and MOST IMPORTANTLY choosing the correct security guard. Carrying a sub-compact in a belly band is the best way to get by since you can position the gun very low (like below or at your belt line low), carry in appendix position, if you have a case for your phone, clip it right in front of the gun. Carry spare mag the same way. Put this all under an under shirt that is tucked in.
Now, this part is important so pay attention, DO NOT go to a line that is manned by an obviously off duty LEO. Find one being run by some kid or someone who looks new to the job. I think the first pacers game I went to the guy had the wand backwards, went right over the glock, never beeped. After that I started carrying my Kahr CM9 to the place as described above. If it goes off point to your phone, if they make you lift up your shirt, show them you have nothing as it is concealed under a tucked in shirt, if they pat you down...well I guess you may or may not get lucky.
Once inside, go to a bathroom and re-position everything as you like it...enjoy the game/event.
Is it uncomfortable to carry like that for a few minutes?...yes
Is it necessary to have a belly band and a small gun?...most likely yes (unless you get a guy with a backwards wand)
Will you most likely be armed while at banker's life if you follow the above advice... yes
Carry on!
ETA: At the events I've gone to, and you may notice this as well, most of the time the wands are going off or lighting up, but they are moving the people through anyways. I don't know how they train the guys with the wands, or what they are told to look for...but keep in mind they have to get people moving through quickly...use that to your advantage.
I've done that with a knife before, how do you do it with a gun? Are you talking about wearing a heavy coat or something? Otherwise I would think the gun/holster would hang down too much and be spotted??long sleeves work good too...keep it in your sleeve and raise your hands when wanded...no one is the wiser

I went to a Christian concert there recently & had the walk through metal detectors. Long walk back to the car.
Did you go through the detector and get detected or did you decide not to risk it and go back to your car?
