One week after a gunman entered a Colorado Springs LGBTQ club and allegedly killed five people, communities are on alert, including the San Diego LGBTQ community. And, an iconic San Diego area bar is taking steps to prevent a similar tragedy from happening. Every guest entering The Rail, which is an LGBTQ bar in Hillcrest, will be required to go through metal detectors. "We ended up implementing the metal detector to prevent weapons from coming inside, knives, handguns – anything that can possibly harm our guests inside," said Wesley Bullen the general manager. Bullen says the decision to begin using metal detectors was taken ‘out of an abundance of caution.’ He says he believes the measure will help keep hillcrest a safe place for all. "It’s important to take these steps because we need to keep everyone safe in our community. Our community is out here right now and it’s constantly in the back of our heads, in the back of my head to keep my patrons safe, my staff safe… anybody that comes through these doors," he added.
