This just in: LA Fitness has a "no weapons" policy, even for CCW holders

I just got off the phone with LA Fitness corporate, and member services assured me that they had a no weapons policy (on page 3 of the agreement), and that there are no exemptions for concealed carry weapons permit holders.

This means three things;

1. The murdering bastard who did this signed up for a membership; which means he intentionally violated the rules of his membership. (they should revoke his membership!)

2. If you had a CCW permit and were on your way to your latin dance class, LA Fitness required you leave your gun in the car, instead of your gym bag.

3. If you were scared by the recent shooting at an LA Fitness, and you want to start legally carrying to your local LA Fitness, you can't. Because you already signed your membership agreement, which precludes you from doing just that.

I wonder if LA Fitness accepts liability for your safety, since it won't let legally permitted individuals carry in their gym. I'm guessing they don't.

And yet another "Gun-Free Zone" experiences gun violence.

I have yet to read a story about a mass shooting at a firing range. Any guesses as to why?

Gyms are weird, I just can't go there or into them.
