Arming people in movie theaters

[Auld Phart]

If only she'd had a gun too.

Or maybe just make sure there are armed ushers. And those kids selling candy and soda and "popcorn"? They should be armed.

That way, at the first sound of gun shot, they can rush into the dark theater and mow them down.

What could possible go wrong?

Agree

Problem is there were not enough guns in that theater to respond after the first shot was fired

It was an accident. Returning fire would be stupid as hell.

Having a bunch of guns in a dark theater when a shot goes off and idiots assuming a massacre is taking place then randomly shooting at everyone else with a gun is bound to happen.

Did it happen there?

Did I say it did?...was the statement mind boggling for you?

mind boggling?

Hardly

You made a statement.

I asked if it had happened.

You responded in type.

It is almost always a crime to possess a firearm while under the influence of alcohol or any controlled substance. Many states also prohibit people from carrying a firearm into establishments that serve liquor (such as bars and nightclubs), even with a concealed carry permit, and even if you are not drinking.
The laws that apply to you depend on the state in which you live. To learn more about the gun laws in your state, see Gun Control Laws, and click the link to your state under the section entitled “Gun Laws by State”.
But I have a concealed carry permit. May I carry my weapon while intoxicated?

Having a concealed carry permit does not give you free reign to carry your weapon at any time or under every circumstance that you wish. Most permits come with a set of places or circumstances where you may not carry your gun, and one circumstance is usually while you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
This is the case in Tennessee, where as a concealed carry permit holder, you may have your license suspended for up to three years (in addition to fines and possible jail time) for drinking in an establishment that sells liquor while in possession of your firearm.

That's unconstitutional!

 

[OldLady]

We need a law about public intoxication…..oh yeah……we already have those don't we……and did they work here?

Right. But if the guy had been unarmed and drunk, we wouldn't have an innocent theater goer in critical condition. Maybe puke on her shoes, but nothing worse.

Scary thought.

Again, did I say it happened there???..."bound to happen" would suggest to the normal person that no inference that it has already happened applies.

Man's gun goes off in theater, hits woman

The incident happened shortly after 8 p.m. PT at the Regal Cinemas at The Landing in Renton.

According to Renton police, a man who appeared intoxicated went to the showing of 13 Hours. Police say the man walked inside the theater with a gun and "accidentally" discharged his weapon, hitting a woman in the theater.

The woman was transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle in critical condition, according to firefighters

1. Seeing he was intoxicated tell me he was or is a true idiot.

2. You do not need a gun at a theater and before some rants on and on about theater shootings across America, well they're as common as a Terrorist attack by a Muslim.

3. I hope the woman will pull through but if not then the man should be charged with involuntary manslaughter...

 

[OldLady]

Quick, someone wake up 2AGuy. Or maybe he'll avoid this one like he did the woman who shot at shoplifters in the HomeDepot parking lot (I think it was HomeDepot, anyway)

I didn't avoid that one either….I posted that Americans use guns 1.5 million times a year to stop violent criminal attack according to bill clinton and barak obama…….

And 13 million people now carry guns for self defense……and you throw out one bad apple…….

12,999,999 didn't shoot at fleeing suspects…….wow…you got us…...

Sorry. Should have checked back later. But as for throwing out one bad apple, I've seen quite a lot of that here on a lot of issues. Fair is fair, no?

 

[OldLady]

I'm not buying the story that the weapon discharged when it hit the ground.

What happened?

Having a bunch of guns in a dark theater when a shot goes off and idiots assuming a massacre is taking place then randomly shooting at everyone else with a gun is bound to happen.

And yet in crowd situations during mass shootings where the idiot mass shooter chose a non gun free zone…….there hasn't been the problem has there…….normal gun owners have reacted incredibly responsibly in mass shooting attacks……...

So it's safe to assume that you are going to post a direct rebuttal to my statement and stop comparing apples to oranges...or not.

What are you talking about……most theaters are gun free zones……like the Colorado theater shooting so no one except the shooter had a gun……but at the gabby giffords shooting….a very crowded event…you had two concealed carry gun owners and neither one of them just blasted away, or shot innocent people……

Actual mass shooter events with concealed carry permit holders, in the few places that were not gun grabber created gun free zones did not result in people just firing randomly…you are wrong.

And. He should be arrested, and put in jail and she should sue him….

There are over 13 million people in the country who carry guns for self defense…number of accidental deaths in 2013… 505.

So by any measure this is not even a real story. The safety rate of normal gun owners who carry guns for self defense is amazing and shows how rare this incident actually is.

Nice try though…but you need to change reality in order for your point to be important.

Rare doesn't make it not real, though.

And rare doesn't mean you disarm 13 million people who act responsibly with their guns…right?

I disagree because only the person firing the shot will know that it was an accident if it really was an accident. How is everyone else supposed to know that it was an accident not to mention that it came from a person who is under the influence?

God bless you always!!!

in most states it is unlawful to have a firearm when intoxicated

so your not showing a good guy with a gun

Everyone is a good guy with a gun....until they turn into a bad guy
Takes a split second

Wrong….90% of people who use guns to murder other people and to commit crime have long histories of violence and long criminal arrest records. It is a lie to say that the owners of over 357 million guns are just a split second away from shooting people…….

There were 8,124 gun murders in 2014, the majority were violent criminals murdering other violent criminals…..

Americans use guns 1.5 million times a year to stop violent criminal attack and to save lives…according to bill clinton and barak obama research…..


which number is bigger….can you tell?

Normal gun owners do not just shoot people…..a violent criminal sub culture in our inner cities, nurtured by democrat social and law enforcement policy does…..

A normal gun owner dropped his gun in a theater and DID shoot someone who is in critical condition. Granted he was drunk, but that's not abnormal (at least not around here). He was not a violent criminal in your inner city nurtured by Democrats. I think the point is, it is not as absolute as your posts sometimes seem to be. The OP is one example of what gun grabbers fear if more and more of the population is armed.

Wrong….if he is an alcoholic he is not a normal gun owner….and how do you know if he was a criminal or not, it is not stated anywhere in the story.

And gun grabbers are wrong……there are 13 million people carrying guns. They are do not do so drunk, and they do not shoot other people.

There were 505 accidental gun deaths in 2013 when there were 320 million guns in private hands, and over 11.1 million people carrying guns for self defense….

Not one statistic in this debate on gun control supports any proposal made by the anti gunners. And this rare occurrence means nothing to the overall picture of gun ownership in this country.

Because it was one shot….and not anymore…..if it was a mass shooter the shots wouldn't stop. A good indicator that there is a problem in the theater…..

 

[2aguy]

We need a law about public intoxication…..oh yeah……we already have those don't we……and did they work here?

Right. But if the guy had been unarmed and drunk, we wouldn't have an innocent theater goer in critical condition. Maybe puke on her shoes, but nothing worse.

And how does that change anything. There are good odds the theater was a gun free zone…..all of the ones around here are. So he broke the law……right? He was intoxicated while in public…he broke the law…right?

Not one gun law on the books or one proposed by the anti gunners would have stopped this event….not licensing all gun owners, not registering all guns or Universal Background checks or magazine limits.

What has actually worked….all the laws we currently have. He has been arrested, he will go to court, he will be stripped of his Right to carry a gun if he was even doing it legally to begin with. He will also be sued by the woman.

All of those things are happening now under current law. There is no need for any of the others…right?

That one shot is still all that it takes to make other shots happen next and if there is going to be one, then we should expect more to follow, just like when one person give their two cents about any subject, expect more pairs of pennies to be thrown down afterwards.

God bless you always!!!

Holly

P.S. It only being one shot is another thing that no one else is going to know except the shooter them self.

Actually, I disagree.

You are sitting in the theater and a loud BANG happens………everyone is startled…a woman cries out…..and then no other shots follow……it would not be reasonable to think that if normal gun owners are in the theater that they would just start shooting…….

No, but it means I don't encourage MORE people to buy MORE guns and carry them around MORE, either.

Why not. Americans use guns 1.5 million times a year to stop violent criminal attack. Accidental gun deaths….. 505. Normal, law abiding gun owners who have guns are not a problem and there is no reason more Americans shouldn't own guns. We have laws that will deal with them if they use the guns irresponsibly, but guns in the hands of normal people stop crime and keep a government from murdering it's citizens……look at Mexico…they definitely need more guns in the hands of normal people…the cartels and their allies in the Mexican government are murdering thousands of innocent Mexican citizens every year…….
