27. That's just checking for people bringing alcohol in.

Door guys/bouncers, not really 'security' per se. Even checking purses and backpacks isn't universal, many venues don't even do that. I have yet to see a venue that has a wand or pat down. Even so, I'm pretty surprised the guy managed to get in with two guns, two extra magazines, and a large hunting knife. That's a lot of hardware to conceal.
PS: I'm in St Petersburg, go to many venues around Tampa Bay Area.
