My local stadium recently upgraded its security. They used to do kind of a sloppy metal detector wand search on the way in. Now there are full-on metal detector arches. I had to dump a HUGE pile of stuff I carry that is metal (tactical pen, lighter, etc.) before I could go to the game.
How do you handle Non Permissive Environments (NPEs)? Do you use a non-metallic weapon, or just go along with the regulations? Something else? I'm curious how everyone deals with these.

I try and follow the rules though it bothers me that restrictive venues usually have very lax or non existent security. If you are going to tell me I can’t properly defend myself and family I think you are formally taking on that responsibility and should have proper security to ensure that the dangerous non law abiding criminals are also forced to follow the rules.
I do usually carry pepper gel and a sturdy pen when a firearm and/or knife aren’t allowed.
