Gunman kills 12 in Denver shooting at Batman movie

Cant even go see a midnight showing of a popular movie without being scared for your life now. Seems like these shootings happen almost once a year...scary stuff.

Yeah, fuck that shit. There are lunatics out there. Sad but true.

Hate to sound cynical, but this is one reason why, when I go to sit in a dark room packed with a couple hundred strangers, I have my gun on me. Imagine if someone in the front row was carrying, there might be fewer grieving families today.

Dude had on a bullet-proof vest - you may not have stopped him before he stopped you.

I'm a responsible and competent gun owner. When I carry (licensed), it's for the protection of myself, my wife and innocents in my midst. It's neither illegal nor, in my view, immoral, so, yeah... no joke.

Maybe not, but it would have been worth a try. Also, the standard idea is two shots to center mass, one to the head.

Also, the theaters I frequent all sell beer, so, no weapons are allowed.

That would be illegal. And hippies are peaceful anyway.

I can't even fathom bringing a weapon to the movies.

Nor can I imagine bringing a 3-month old baby to a midnight showing of Batman, yet there she is listed amongst the casualties.

When does "paranoia" become "readiness"? Interested to hear your opinion on that threshold. People get attacked, shot at, robbed every day. Real talk.
