The 44-year old owner, who has a carry permit, says the gun fell out of his back pocket on the bumpy ride. Disney, however, does not permit guns into the park. But while they do search bags upon park entry, they do not search clothing. The guest was asked to leave for the day but was not trespassed (meaning he can return in the future).</p>

"I'm relieved to hear that Disney has a no tolerance policy on this sort of thing" Yes, but perhaps more thorough searches should be undertaken - then hopefully a moron like this guy wouldn’t have even entered the park. I’d like to say it is beyond belief but little surprises me these days.

These are two minor events and so far Disney has been lucky. I'm not suggesting that you "shouldn't take your chances". But Disney is well aware that they are a potential target and unfortantely crazy people are out there.

Here's a clown who has a carry permit, and he is so careless as to allow his must-have-protection-item fall off of his person during a ride. I mean, he's carry a loaded .38 in his BACK POCKET in a theme park, which is a violation of Disney's policy. And he gets to come back? What the hell does it take to get banned forever? He'd have been in more trouble for making knock-off Pete's Dragon t-shirts.

Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan Disney's policy: Guns are not permitted on property. We mean it. Really. If you drop a loaded weapon, we'll kick you out for, like, the whole rest of the day. You can come back the next day but please don't bring your gun again because they're not permitted and we WILL send you home again, if we have to.
