What is the Strand Theatre’s policy on weapons?
While some movie theaters in Ohio may allow patrons to conceal and carry guns on premises, the Strand Theatre stance on this is quite clear: no person shall knowingly possess, have under the person’s control, convey, or attempt to convey a deadly weapon or dangerous ordnance onto these premises.
