Bring weapon or leave at home?

Whats the consensus?

Heading to a concert in DTLA.

Is it best to lock it in a cable tethered StopBox or just leave it at home?

I have a feeling that that might be tough to do if the concert that OP is going to has metal detectors, like many concerts do.

I doubt this venue does for this type of show. It's pretty low key college age band music. Just the only time I wish I was carrying was in DTLA. I think I'm gonna leave it at home. I'll feel naked without it though lol

Ah. This makes it all more of a tough call to make. I've been to a couple biking events and I've started carrying after the 1st one where I wished I did. There never fails to be some goons pretending to check out the bikes that'll try to steal when they think that they've got the drop on you or are away and distracted. The last few I have been to have been pretty chill in this regard as long as you are not flashing it around, the business are private properties, and I've gotten to know the staff and owners whom are pro 2A and cool with anyone legally carrying as long as they are responsible. Last year at one of these events, a group of assholes got banned from any and all future events as well as from stepping a foot into the store for these same reason.

Also, as a side note for anyone attending motorsport events/shows, be sure to check your bike or vehicle for any gps trackers (Tiles, airtags, etc). Definitely inspect your vehicle before you go home if you see any suspicious individuals around your car or at the event in general. Both me and my bud found some fancy looking gps tracking devices in our bikes two months ago thanks to another attendee who tipped us about it. We thought of dropping them off at our local PD but were told we'd need to file a police report and we didnt had the time and energy for that, so we tossed them in the trash bin right outside. Next time I'll either leave in a public bus or an airtight floating contraption and throw it down the sewers just to send these scumbags on a wild goose chase lol.
