    Default Dangerous Incidents At Your Club

    Have you ever experienced any dangerous incidents at your club? Like someone walking in with a gun or robbing someone? If not, what security measures does your club take to make sure you're safe, other than having bouncers around?

    I think clubs should start having metal detectors and frisking people at the door, but I'm sure most won't go for that because it will decrease the customer base...what do you guys think?

    Personally, I don't particularly like going to clubs that DON'T have metal detectors! And, given the number of incidents that have occurred around the country over the past few years, I'm just amazed an owner would run the risk of operating without one and/or an insurer would agree to insure a place that doesn't have one.

    Exactly!!!! That was really freaky - was there a bouncer in the front or just the girl? Because it seems odd to me that no one was there at the time this happened...

    Yeah, metal detectors should be required.
    This kid got shot to death at my club. I told my friend R. that seeing his body made me believe in the soul because he looked like something was...missing. R.'s snappy answer: "Yeah, a quart of blood."

    ]At my club in Delaware they have to scan you at the door. I dont think i would work there if they didn't. There was one time that they missed someone with a knife. That guy was way to grabby and they had to kick him out. You know the rest. He didnt want to leave and he pulled the knife. We have great bouncers and they dropped him before he could do anything. We had one other time were a customer got kicked out and then he waited for the club to close. When the bouncers who kicked them out went outside to clear the lot the guy tryed to run them over with his car. This happend yesterday but only one bouncer got hurt. It was just a few stiches. it could have been alot worse.

    Don't you think there's a difference between a 7-11 and a club where there is a lot more potential for dangerous situations simply because of the type of activity that goes on, not to mention the amount of money involved?

    In instances like these, the lesson won't be learned until a dancer gets killed by a "customer". Then the necessary precautions might be taken, but it shouldn't have to get that far in the first place.

    This kind of thing just makes me even more wary of going back to work.

    Also, don't forget that in some clubs you have just as much to worry about from fellow dancers with firearms as from customers.

    Delilah's is full-on swanky, and they have metal detectors. The big, full-on walk-thru airport kind. No one really has a problem with it. I'm not one for sacrificing freedom for safety and such, but it just makes sense. Drunk, sexed-up boys with guns=someone getting killed.

    Also, DeDancer apparently works at the club where my wife is a bartender, since I just heard about this incident tonight after she came home. Some custie RAN OVER the bouncer at the end of the night. However, from how she heard it, it was at the local watering hole they all go to on Sunday nights, not actually at the club.

    And no, Big G, I don't agree with metal detectors everywhere. But when it is in the best interest of patrons AND employees, then yeah I am all for it. With some of the lines you say you use on the mic, I would think you might be more worried about someone takin' a shot at ya, man.

    Nawww, just in places where everyone's drinking and some guy's wife/GF/"whatever" is sitting on my lap wearing nothing but a thong... don't know 'bout you, but doesn't seem to ever happen to me in places like 7-11 or, for that matter, even the local watering holes (where'd I go wrong?!?). Anyway, what can I say? Would hate to have to kill some stupid MF just because he thought he could handle being with a dancer but, much to his (and in situations such as these, everyone else's as well!) misfortune, has now found out the hard way that he actually can't.

    Another benefit of having metal detectors is to stop vice or the news media from bringing hidden cameras into the club. Of course this was before the introduction of camera phones. Strangely, I have yet to see clubs with metal detectors forbid mobile phones.

    I'm so glad Australia has decent firearms laws... I think I would be a quivering wreck if I had to consider the possibility that people might carry a gun into a club- or anywhere for that matter! Streuth mate...

    I've been to parties where I had to go through a metal detector and have my purse opened up and dumped out. I definitely think they should do it at strip clubs.

    I think that going through metal detectors should be mandatory not only for customers, but for employee's as well. I have seen a dancer shoot at a manager, a customer (dancer's boyfriend) shot her in the chest, and I have seen a bouncer stap a customer for touching his girlfriends butt.

    As a custy, I wouldn't mind being searched before entering. Wouldn't bother me, I'm not trying to bring shit in. It would also cut down on the number of people who bring stuff in solely for their own protection. I've thought about bringing my knife with me a few times simply because my club isn't in the nicest part of town.

    There was a bouncer in front that literally gave him a handshake on the way out!!! No kidding, the door guy had no clue.

    Also, the door girl is new and i dont know.... i am a suspicious person by nature.... When i asked her if everything was ok on my way out and joked with her she seemed kinda suspicious. But you never know, right.

    I was waiting for it to be on the news damnit. Club robbed at gunpoint! I guess they dont care about us too much!

    This country was founded on the basis of access to guns. It will also be destroyed on the same basis.

    Civilization? USA? Don't make me laugh.
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.

    Yea, me too! Phew!



    Readers of the USA Today newspaper discovered in 2002 that, "Since Australia's 1996 laws banning most guns and making it a crime to use a gun defensively, armed robberies rose by 51%, unarmed robberies by 37%, assaults by 24% and kidnappings by 43%. While murders fell by 3%, manslaughter rose by 16%."

    A company owner's property is their property - and I would think it a much better idea to beep everyone.

    I even wonder if it can be used to argue against the "nuisance" argument ployed by so many anti-strip club types.

    Of course, one can simply show how many arrests and calls are made to non-nude bars (as well as drunk driving arrests) to focus away from that.

    I think the point was convenience stores are the number one hold-up magnet in the country and if there is any where metal detectors need to be would be in those places - with repeated evidence of being locations of violence.

    Haha you know those 'stats' are utter bullshit. You got those from www.gunowners.org for chrissakes. Try the Australian Bureau of Statistics or something for some hard information. I heard that the NRA ran an ad some years ago showing houses with high walls, purportedly in Australia, saying that since our gun ownership laws became even more restrictive we are 'living in fear'. Dude, I live here. The only place I've EVER had to walk through a metal detector is at airports. Unless you're involved with organised crime or live with a psycho redneck, in Australia you just don't have to worry about someone pulling a gun on you. Ever. Thank god. Our gun laws are the only thing our Prime Minister has done in the 10 years he's been in office that I can honestly say I approve of.

    When someone gets shot in Australia it makes headline news EVERY time. Can you say the same for the US, or even the state you live in?
