    You leave the house prepared to engaage a shooter armed with tear gas, body armor, and multiple weapons? Impressive

    These are making the rounds on the interwebs

    Unfortunately we have now way of knowing for sure if anyone was carrying or not, pretty sure somebody that might have been isn't going to come forward and say I had my concealed weapon but my first thought was to hit the ground and get to safety. We'll never know for sure if the outcome would have been different or not we only have our opinions. It is a terrible situation no denying that but I am very interested to hear if they find a motive, doesn't matter what tools a murderer uses fact is he's still a murderer.

    Nor sure what alleging Christianity is a myth has to do with anything.. except pushing an agenda.

    I saw that and thought the same thing. It's funny that someone will rant about the media putting a certain spin on a tragedy and then throw in something like 'christian mythology' and not see the hypocrisy. Although I believe he was fully aware of what he was doing.

    Of course I was. I'll point out ignorant ass shit whenever I see it. That was intended.

    When I heard they brought him in alive my immediate thought was that he had some kind of political agenda he wanted to "tell the world about" surrounding all of this or something along those lines. Why go through with the whole court process and all of that otherwise? A man without a purpose would have just shot themselves rather than being taken into custody, I would imagine. Then again, I'm not crazy or a criminal psychologist, so what do I know? ;)

    Has anyone heard anything along the lines of theaters not allowing entrance to those with concealed handguns in the area?

    One of the main reasons I wanted to be able to carry is because of movie theaters. I've always felt like a sitting duck if someone were to do what this guy did - not to that extent that he did though. I'm no way saying I'd have taken the guy out or even attempted it in that type of situation, but long question short here.... think they'll crack down over the weekend?

    Doesn't matter to me. If a theater doesn't want to let me enter because I'm a law-abiding CHL holder, I don't need to see any movie that bad.

    I heard on NPR that they were doing bag searches in places like New York City, but nothing about CHLs.

    Not sure what dragging Christian mythology into it has anything to do with it.

    It has nothing to do with it.

    Sin, religion, mythology...all of it has nothing to do with the situation and I don't understand why people always feel the need to try to include it in every situation.

    Cinemark theaters have some signage posted along the lines of not allowing firearms, but none of them being the proper signage.

    As far as other theaters "cracking down" over the weekend? No...something like that would most likely require a change in corporate policy as well as adding the proper signage to all locations. I don't foresee this happening that quickly and hopefully not at all. Its not like this guy was concealing anything or legally carrying...then again, these people don't like rationally.

    Something tells me that if there was a sign on the door of that theater that said "no guns", That the shooter would of turned around and said "maybe I won't do this". Nuts are nuts and there is no law that will ever stop nuts from getting guns.
