I don't have problems here, but last year in Dallas at a Van's Warped Tour rock concert, I was shooting with an M6 with the old style winder. A security type said I needed a permit to shoot. I explained I was not a professional and I pointed out several slrs in the crowd and offered the security man my help in walking around and confiscating all the cameras we could see, if he wanted me to stop. He declined my offer, and I wandered off. I took the winder off the camera, and no one else said anything the rest of the day.
