I have been lucky last 2 times I went to a secure venue, Disneyland and a concert in Seattle, I realized, too late, that I was carrying my pocket knife (it's about 4" blade) and at both places the search was random and I was able to enter both without being searched.

I forgot my pocket knife at Carowinds, I clipped it directly behind my belt buckle. Set off the metal detector. They used the wand, and it of course went off at my belt buckle, to which they replied "oh, it's just your belt, go ahead"
If you really needed to have a pocket knife or something, I think stashing it in a bag would be easier. Bag check is pretty weak at most places.

Does anyone on here have something chambered in 45-70 Government? If so what do you have? Do you like it?

So I had a friend who was buying her recently turned 21 brother his first handgun. It was a second hand Glock 22 Gen 4. Cop trade-in my guess, which being a Glock means nothing cause it's still 100% A-OK. She said she was getting him a "Glock 40" and I immediately
thought about the DEA agent with dreads that "is the only person in the room professional enough to handle a Glock 40." and then shoots himself. So I know she probably meant a Glock 22 or 23, but me being a wise ass goes in for the kill anyways
I asked "Are you getting him a Glock 22 or 23?"
She replies "????it's a Glock 40 not a 22" .
I then said "WOW! I wish somebody bought me a 10mm!"
That really threw the wrench in the gears lol. She said "This takes 40mm not 10mm."
So I sent her a picture of one of Cod's 40mm bofors asking if it looked like that. She didn't laugh.
Long story short, Glock model designations offer gun people the easy opportunity to confuse not gun people, up to and including those purchasing said Glock.

My good friend and two co-workers I am looking at right now have Henry Big-Boys chambered in it, they love them. I must say out of the two .45-70s I've ever handled, it was definitely the best. For hunting anyways. But, I find tube-loading clunky and cumbersome and inconvenient, even for target shooting. GIVE ME A GATE!

Not sure if any of you are familiar with the Lucky Gunner Ammo channel on YouTube. He has been doing a lot of very informative videos on small caliber defensive pistols. It's very educational and provides one with a lot of ammo when one has to defend the small defensive cartridges.
Got an email from gunbroker for this: https://deals.concernedpatriot.com/order/light-defender-tactical-laser-of.php
Using it a self-defense light? Are you kidding? I have one of those high-powered flashlights that supposedly strobes at a disorienting frequency. It doesn't destroy your retina like a laser can, and it works on high for an hour and I think 8 hours on low. Has 5 modes, including SOS. Less than $10 as I recall.

I'm going to get hosed here but I don't care. You took this wrong. That US Rep was trying to get at even if you have AR's, the military has Nukes, so taking away AR's is not going to start a war because if they wanted to - the military can take you out right now. He's not saying "I would use bombs to get peoples AR's". Jesus.
I am totally indifferent to guns and gun owners, but every now and then please take a step back out of your own beliefs and try to see things from a different perspective. It really makes the world a better place.

Nobody tried to accuse him of saying "I would use bombs to get peoples AR's".
The guy did actually say "if we tried to take their AR's and they fought back, we would win because we would nuke them". That's not true in the first place - the US government would never nuke its citizens if a civil war broke out. It's just not really acceptable behavior, especially for a government representative. I understand he was being facetious, but threatening citizens with nuclear weapons isn't a good look.
You took our posts way out of context. Take a step back yourself. You jumped to a conclusion based on our comments and put words in our mouths (or fingertips).
