The security guard at the Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort in Hot Springs insisted that he leave his man in his car, despite the fact that several women were strolling past with near identical accessories. Upon standing his ground the security guard then informed the individual that “men do not carry purses, they carry bags”.
Kirk gained support from other entering the venue but not the floor supervisor who also refused him entry due to the bag. Eventually a general manager determined Kirk would be allowed in if he agreed to have his purse searched, result in his eventually entry.
“They were worried that a man carrying a ‘bag’ may have explosives,” Kirk said, adding, “Who is going to blow up their Louis Vuitton on purpose?”
