Shedd Aquarium security

[Joniki]

I thought about thunderwear, and when the wand passed over and beeped, telling them I’m a stunt &^%$ actor, and I had an accident so “it” is in a brace!?

Absolute genius.

I have been told a portable oxygen device provides fantastic benefits. Even if you do not need one.

Craigslist...

Oxygen therapy. It's a thing.

FTFY.

But seriously, you do what you gotta do based on what's best for your family. Good luck to you.

A good defense attorney trumps young prosecutors every time, especially in Chicago’s “pay to play” environ.

Not real worried as mine will be one of hundreds of strollers going through, most of them being Demonrats who won’t be bothered by lowly security buffoons. Me being the “friendly” demonrat, I’ll breeze right through.

Theres a good watch store on like the 3rd floor I think of the water tower mall.
Also harray carrays up on top and the sports museum is free with your dining receipt.
No metal detectors or real security at navy pier. Bubba gump shrimp or harray carrays is my choice there.
If you want a good steak Smith & Wollinskys on wacker by the house of blues or harray carrays Italian steakhouse if you have the kids with you.

Tourneau is the watch store I think you’re talking about, I bought a pre-owned Breitling SuperOcean there once. I’ve not been to Smith &Wolinskys, I really have a hard time not eating at Lawrys, and after that, Lou Malnati’s pizza. There’s so much more, but those are my go to’s, my wife is probably tired of both, but it’s my reward for paying the obscene rates at the Mag Mile Marriott so she can shop. $48 for PARKING!?

If I go to Cheddar's to see the aquarium, not only am I am able to manage my own security without Illinois-imposed restrictions, but I can also enjoy a Monte Cristo.

I love their Monte Cristo!!!!!




As to the security at Shedd, I've been told by inside sources that all the sharks have friggin' laser beams on their heads.

Good call, now I need to dig out my anti-laser goggles! Thank god for Oakley.

Yep that's it. You probably have "a guy" there then, but if not I can recomend one that is very knowledgeable and helpful there. Hes a watch guy himself. I cant stand it when someone who's selling a gun, watch, sunglasses, car, insert item > here < doesnt know the product they are selling. My next one up there will be a Panerai luminor 1950 gmt. Along with breitling you mentioned they are also an AD for panerai.

I had a girl there, dumber than a football bat, but smokin' hawt, I wasn't even looking to buy a watch and she love love loved it on me sooo.... She's no longer there.last time there I was looking at a plain jane IWC straight 24hour face, and nylon Zulu strap and was ready to buy until I found out that plain jane IWC's are $12K

LOL!

Man I love some of the IWC watches but yeah I'm also like daaaaamn! For that much I'll have to pick something with alittle more flare.

For $12K I don’t want flair, I want GOLD! That’s what killed me, it looks just like my Hamilton Khaki Pilot, except $11K more? No HJ, no BJ, (to be honest, the sales girl woulda probably provided both had I bought the watch?), but even I couldn’t justify the expense, and that’s saying a lot.

Carry in Chicago without a permit, on public parks, living out of state......

Like living dangerously?

IF you get caught - it will not be pretty

And if you get caught without it, it may not be pretty. I would prefer to deep conceal and take my chances with LE, than disarm and take my chances with criminal dirtbags...

Welp, there goes any ignorance of the law defense strategy.

I’ve been informed that I am taking the family to Shedd Aquarium and the Museum of Science and Industry soonly. I’ve seen there is no real security at MSI, but can’t find anything on Shedd. I will carry everywhere I’m not wanted/scanned, rules be damned, but need a heads up if any one knows. Will be staying one night at Mag Mile Marriott, so dinner at Lawrys The Prome Rib, and a.m. contemplating shopping Water Tower, but after the wilding weekend, ? Next night going to cheaper Marriott in Oakbrook, and commute downtown for Navy Pier also need security heads up for there? Any intel for downtown security at attractions would be appreciated. Haven’t been in two years, so need to know what’s changed.

Hey Vig, if you're going to be in the area anyway, head over to Navy Pier and take your family on one of the Sea Dog cruises. Say that you want to be on the trip that Anna (Daughter oze) will be narrating.

since when has ignorance of the law ever been a valid defense?

 

[alabasterjar]

Absolutely correct, I completely agree. That said, when visiting with a family of 6 (kids range from 4-12), hands on may not be the best family defense option. Although my 10 & 12 y/o's are both second degree black belts and I'm sure would love to try, lol.

Situational awareness is priority one for dw & I. Fortunately she has a strong sheepdog heart & brain, as well. Preplanning our visit, so that we have a very good idea where we are going without looking like tourists, is high on our list too.
