More Info: A pair of downtown bars will be using metal detectors to screen would-be weekend patrons. Bouncers at Icon sports bar and dance club on Sherman Avenue and Baja Bargarita on Second Street will use handheld metal detectors at their doors to ensure weapons aren’t brought into the establishments. “Hearing people having guns, I don’t want customers scared of going out,” said J.R. Briseno, manager of Baja Bargarita and the adjacent Toro Viejo Mexican restaurant. “Why have that?”

Question: Should all downtown Coeur d’Alene use metal detectors to keep guns out of them?
