Waltherfan:
I've read that some of the people in the theater in Aurora are suing a variety of agencies for alleged damages.

I wonder how many, if any, CCW holders were in the theater and were not carrying because of CCW prohibited signs (assuming it was posted). They may be able to make a great case against places that post. You'd see signs coming down everywhere.

cckyle:
I don't know that they would get far in a civil suit, but it does make a good case against the restrictions IMO.  Unfortunately the opposition doesn't see it that way.  We have all heard the statements about how much more dangerous that would have been, had someone been carrying and pulled their firearm.  Chaos would have ensued.  I really for the life of me can't understand this argument. How some people get the notion that having the ability to defend yourself or others with a firearm against someone who is actively shooting those around, somehow makes the situation more dangerous.  Ridiculous.

The sheeple are willing to gamble that they won't be shot in that situation.  They are willing to have other sheeple serve as their human shields.  Having a permit holder return fire, to them, is equivalent to someone closing their eyes and randomly shooting around a room, thus increasing the chance that they will be injured or killed. 

LM4202:
I don't think they would get very far, they have that standard defense "You chose to go here despite the restrictions".  After all, Westroads is still posted despite what happened at Von Mauer.  Its a shame really.  That's why I don't go to Westroads at all anymore or any malls for that matter.  That's why people have migrated to Village Pointe to shop.  I try my best to avoid places where I can't carry.

cracked junior:
I haven't been there to verify but i have read there is no guns signs on doors.
