Anyone local know whether this theater had a "No Guns" policy? I live on the other side of Denver, so I never visited that theater. I can't find anything on their site. I wonder if they took it off recently to avoid emails from us.
Crowded areas, full of people can make defensive shooting difficult and offensive shooting easy. Most people hunker down and stay low but some panic and run. Throw in the facts that the shooter used gas and wore a vest. You have a situation where hundreds of paniced people are trying to stay out of the line of fire, in a low light situation, some blinded by the gas, along injured or dying victims. You are in a situation that would require an accurate head shot from a low position so your fire would not hit paniced inocents, you are in a situation where training and judgement would be critical; there should be no collateral damage from good intentioned people. Acquiring a clear target would need to be a priority, there may be those present who would be willing to make a physical attack on the shooter. One would need to be in this situation, armed, and ready to make a call. I would agree that if there were several carrying it is likely someone would have a shot, but how many could or would make a proper decision. Most CCW holders are taught that their weapon should be primarily used to protect themselves and their family, when you use a firearm and deadly force to protect the public you may do so at grave cost.
Mabey I might not have been able to take the guy down if I was there, but at least I could have died with honor trying. Those people died running scared. That is not how I want to go. I feel for them. We should not be cattle lead to slaughter. We are Free men with the god given right to die standing defending ourselfs and our countrymen.

If the liberals had their way it would have gone something like this.
1. House booby trapped with explosives? Check.
2. Got a tear gas canister? Check.
3. Have a rifle and handgun? Check.
4. Arrive at a crowded theater? Check.
5. Mentally ready to wreck havoc, murder and destruction? Check.
6. Sign on the door that says “No Guns Allowed?” Aw shucks, I guess I can’t go through with my plan because of that sign. Foiled again by those darn gun free zones. Once again America is saved from a murderous killing spree because the killer would not dare violate such a posted warning. Thank you President Obama and Mayor Bloomberg. I can’t wait for the UN to come in and take all our guns.
Wow! Obamas fault? Stretch.
Yeah. So how's that working out for them. Truth is they will now force their no-gun policy against law-abiding citizens even more.According to thetruthaboutguns.com the theaters have a no gun policy.

What is the penalty for carrying concealed in a place f business that has a sign that states no weapons?
The reason I ask is, my local movie theater has a sign on the front door, but not on the side door. A legal carrying citizen could enter that door and not be aware of the sign on the front.
Damnit.... They are probably gonna outlaw being white now:nono:
