Massive shooting in Colorado. Perp possibly used an AR
AAllen:
First I not only wish to agree with Dan's Amen but wish to add. I spoke with a person from Aurora this week he lives just blocks from the theatre, in fact within walking distance. He and his family go to movies there all the time, like most of us though he would not be at a midnight movie on a week night, he needs to go to work in the morning. But the big point he made, he carries there all the time, and he knows others that do-legally. The signs have no legal effect and are ignored by CCW holders. What was missing is a person with the watchdog mentality, someone who has made the decision that they would fight. The more I hear the more I come to believe that being armed would not have been necessary to stop this idiot. All that would have been needed was a person that had made the decision that they would not be a victim.

Exactly!
Hesitant to mix threads, but this highlights the discussion that took place in the story of the old man shooting the would be robbers at the internet cafe. Some felt he reacted wrong.
There may have been patrons in that movie theater who were carrying but were waiting for the 'right' moment.
As Allen said, what was needed was someone WILLING to fight back. Obviously, there were enough on hand that weren't.

Dave's Notes:
Questions the national media should be asking:
1) Where did he get the money
2) Why did he rig is apartment to blow, then tell the police, then lawyer up and not say anything else to police
3) What about eyewitness reports that he had help
Instead of focussing on why guns are available in the first place...
