Demands to close “TRO Loophole” in 3…2…1…
How come they call places that incentivize men to act like pigs and women to act like whores “gentlemen’s clubs”?

I found out more on Rudman’s TRO:

The Mons Venus club owner, Joe Redner, has won several cases against local government attempting to shut him down using First Amendment arguments. As for Second Amendment rights, he is not an advocate.
“Redner believes he [Rudman] wanted to kill as many people as possible.
“He’s coming to where the most people are so he can kill more people,” said Redner who added he’s concerned what will happen if the Florida legislature passes an open carry law for weapons.
“We have this pistol packing mama state here, where our Governor is even open carry, it’s going to be carnage on the streets, and he won’t go where there’s a gun,” Redner added.”

There is a bill in the Florida Legislature to allow permitless carry, but open carry will continue to be prohibited except for several limited situations.
The ironic thing is that since there is nudity at Mons Venus , there is no alcohol served. Where alcohol is served, the carrying of firearms is prohibited. So long as the club is not a place of public nuisance, the concealed carrying of firearms is allowed. The following is from a 7/9/2022 interview with Redner:
“Does the strip club serve alcohol?
No. We’re nude (nude clubs don’t serve alcohol). And no sneaking it in. The stuff that breaks the law? You’ve got to be crazy.
The IRS used to audit me all the time. But they never found anything because I pay my taxes.
When you don’t do anything wrong, how powerful that makes you. You can look at all these people and say “do your worst.””
