Wife wants to go to the movies. We rarely go and haven't in a long while. I saw on the AMC website that their code o conduct states no weapons of any kind. Is there any movie theaters around indy that aren't "gun free zones"? I try no to support those who do not support our right to carry. I know it is their right to choose what they allow on their property, but it is my right to decide not to give them my money.

Concealed means, concealed.
Welcome to my personal conundrum. Typically, I try at all costs to avoid going and especially spending money anywhere that chooses their liability (or political opinion) over customer safety.
However, I'm a movie buff. My wife and I don't do a lot really. We don't have a lot of time or money to spend, but with only a 2 hour dedication that's available pretty much around the clock, we do go to the movie theatres. So this is probably the one and only place which I regularly break my rule of attendance. I don't know of any which are carry friendly around Indy however, so this is such a time where I must choose CC over my usual OC.
Some of us would rather support a business that supports us. Even if we are CCing.
Sadly, I know of no movie theaters, they all seem to be anti-gun.

Agreed. But, if you want to see a first run movie, you're kinda SOL.
They obviously didn't learn the lesson of Aurora, CO.
I also like to see new movies and when I do it is one of the few times I make sure my EDC is fully covered and does not print. Plus, I make the early shows(noonish) because the ticket prices are cheaper and there are a lot less kids present.
Went to AMC 17 (I think) at Southern Plaza (I'm sure about this part). Armed Security hanging around the bar watching TV. Had a very visable OWB holster with a black "security" jacket covering the grip (couldn't tell what kinda gun) and his back to the incoming crowd. Also had his POV parked out front with a white "security" sticker slapped on the side. When I saw it, I kinda laughed.
Anyway...Saw Anchorman 2 (wait and rent it). Between all the people with their E-Cigs, the high schoolers talking and browsing on their cell phones, and the fat chick drinking more than her fair share of blue cocktails, I think I'll skip the theaters all together for awhile.

I frequently OC at my local drive-in. I've never been hassled and even had a few gun conversations with various workers.
Went to the same AMC yesterday to watch Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug. I CC'd my Glock 19, but didn't see any armed security. Maybe we were there too early, dunno.
Wife and I have an AMC in our area. No "security" to speak of that's on the payroll... Just myself and our fellow CC'er club...
I've had the same dilemma about to support or not support. In the end I decided to bend, but my wife (whom doesn't want to carry) is even noticing more door stickers & commenting. Still, I feel that most of the stickers are because of insurance requirements and corporate PC BS... Places like a Lucas Oil and Banker's Life could be "better" inside the arena, but once I step outside I feel all bets are off, which is why I still do my best to carry something everywhere I'm legally allowed.

I've never been to a movie theatre without CC'ing nor would I in light of all the recent issues. Conceal and enjoy

I go to the movies quite often and I CC. I have never had a problem and if they ever asked me to leave I would have no problem with it because I already know I am disrespecting their policy. But i'd rather take that chance then be a helpless victim like those were in Aurora.
I think you guys want THIS thread.
OP, I've heard that the theatre out in Brownsburg is 2A friendly. Haven't had the chance to verify that, but rumor has it.
