I wonder if this was another gun free zone. Glad the police took this guy out before he could hurt more. Amazing what happens when there is a good guy with a gun around.

Not sure about this location, but Carmike is "officially" a gun free zone.

The suspect also heavily sprayed chemicals inside the theater. Officials responded with gas masks.

Carmike's anti-gun policy is a mighty strong advertisement for NetFlix, IMO.

BTW, the only Antioch I'm aware of in Tennessee is now a suburb of Nashville. Antioch used to be out in the country.

He attacked with pepper spray and a hatchet. He saved his gun for a shoot out with police.

A police officer was working a traffic accident and was notified by the public. He was there within 2 minutes. He exchanged gun fire with the subject who retreated.

Well done.

Not much of a gun, turns out

Yup, not a "Firearm"
Used the Pepper Spray & Hatchet, but
Saved the PELLET GUN (according to News) for the Police

No word on the backpacks Police blew up

One has to wonder if any alarm bells would go off in the pin heads of those who run these "no gun hunting sanctuaries" if someone walked in wearing camouflage, carrying a 10 gallon bug sprayer on his back, Bowie on his belt, and an axe over his shoulder. Just a happy woodsman out to take in a movie. "Big Coke and a bag of popcorn, sir?"

I think I see a day coming when no sign, legal or not, will stop people from carrying protection for themselves and their families.
