Friday’s horrible shooting in Colorado occurred in yet another place where guns are banned. And that’s consistent with a trend: With a single exception, every multiple-victim public shooting in the U.S. in which more than three people have been killed since at least 1950 has taken place where citizens are not allowed to carry their own firearms.

The Cinemark movie theater in Aurora, like others run by the chain around the country, displayed warning signs that it was illegal to carry guns into the theater.

Nor have I found a single example on record of a multiple-victim public shooting in which a permit holder accidentally shot a bystander.

Since it COULD happen, in theory, and liberals are notoriously bad at distinguishing between major and minor risk factors, they will as usual be more concerned about the lesser risk.
CCW holders are RESPONSIBLE shooters, perps are not.
To libs there is no difference. Hence the huge gap in our viewpoints.

Not in Missouri. If you are "caught" with a concealed hand gun and you are legal,they can only ask you to leave.

Due to the recent events in Aurora the MSM has quickly forgotten about the old man who pulled his concealed handgun and shot it out and drove off two robbers in the internet cafe.

Same here in Iowa. If they have a sign saying no guns and you are caught with one all they can do is ask you to leave. But if you refuse they can have you arrested for trespass.

If you leave then you won’t be in any trouble.

I have been calling any store in my city and telling them that I will not support them since they are putting their customers in an unsafe situation and not providing protection to those they are disarming.

I also let them know that by putting up a sing and restricting my right to protect myself then they had better have someone on site that can protect all those they choose to make victims. I’ve told my family that if I ever am a victim in such a store I expect them to sue the britches off of the owner of the store.
