Will be interesting to see if the theater is a gun free zone.

Figured that would be the case. There are still many theaters where we live that are not gun free zones. We don't go to movies often but the day I can't find one that is not a gun free zone is the day we stop going altogether.

3 dead 7 injured some in critical condition.

Mrs. JMRA's FB post:

"Prayers for those that were injured and the families that lost loved ones.
Rule # 1 Do not support theaters that ban lawful gun owners to conceal carry. Why make yourself a target for a criminal at the request of a business owner? The only person with a gun will then be the law breaker- sad that we keep penalizing the wrong citizens and empowering the criminal.
Wake up America!"

One smart woman right there!

We don't go to the movies.

Shooter killed himself when confronted by armed police. If this had not been a gun free zone perhaps he would have been confronted by someone armed much earlier.

I was taught to eat crawdads in various forms by real Cajuns, in Cajun country, some 40 years ago. I know times have changed but I can't imagine everyone in that theater being unarmed. (Did you ever see the movie, "Southern Comfort"?)

Someone has to sue the theater co
1) failure to protect the patrons.
2) Disarming the patrons and making them a sitting ducks

[Richbirdhunter]

Do we support property rights in this case?
