"...you’re damned right I’d be shooting back..."


Yet shooting at exactly WHOM in a darkened movie theater?
The person four rows behind where the sound might have come?

CCW is a truly great thing and undoubtedly prevents countless crimes.
There are scenarios where quickly exiting and obtaining cover is ideal.

It would demand optimal conditions to halt a threat in a dark theater unless the nutjob was literally standing motionless five feet away shooting moviegoers. These seem to be challenging distinctions to make (in complete darkness) when 99% of those nearby would be fellow innocent folks.

I have no doubts discretion and level-headedness are required components for responsible CCW.

However, the liberal argument has always been two-pronged. Either it’s just too haaard to fight back, or blood will run in the streets.

In the Aurora shooting the killer walked in through an exit door and stood at the front. Everyone could see him; they thought he had dressed up for the movie. Then, he shot people like it was a clay pigeon gallery.
