Shooting at TDKR Midnight Premiere in Aurora, CO. Multiple dead.
At least 10 moviegoers were killed and 39 injured at a cinema in the Colorado city of Aurora in the Denver suburbs. They were attending a midnight showing of the new Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises.
The theater was packed with a lot of people, many of them young fans, at the time the shooting started, 9news reports. The violence erupted some 15 minutes after the movie started, witnesses said. Some say that when they first heard the shooting, they thought it was some new type of special effect. Local media reports that two gunmen were involved in the rampage. An explosive device was set off during the shooting, injuring several people. Witnesses said the gunmen were probably wearing body armor and gas masks and used some kind of a tear gas bomb in the attack. Some reports say police have apprehended one of the assailants while the second one is still at large. Police have cleared people from the scene over fears that another explosive device might be on the premises. Aurora medical services were alerted to attend to the large number of injured http://www.rt.com/news/shooting-dark...er-aurora-654/ WOW |

My CCW weapon is a .45 acp. If it didn't go through the vest, it would still put a man on his ass out of air. Leaving time to escape or over power him. Regarding armed movie goers: Do you think these loons would've pulled this shit if they knew there was a chance 5 individuals were armed in the theater? Hell no! An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life. Robert A. Heinlein |

this one is interesting from a CCW perspective. I can see both sides of the argument.
but personally, I'd feel better if I were carrying. Would I die? possibly. would someone else get hit with a stray bullet? possibly. I'd rather have a chance, than no chance. I agree - if you have a chance, you GTFO of there. but if it came down to a scenario where I wasn't able to, I'd want the chance to possibly get out while armed. interesting though. It makes me so mad when I heard about these shootings. Cowards. prayers to the victims families, and healthy recovery for those who were injured. |

Would they get capped by someone who is armed? Possibly yeah. But I don't think it'd stop the attempt. They're crazy for a reason. |

So far I have heard or read the following this caused this;
- Violent video games - The violence in the Batman films - Columbine - And more calls for gun control Of course the thought that this was just a disturbed young man could not possibly be the cause... |

However, MOST are just cowards. That's why they attack in schools, movie theaters, bell towers, malls, etc... There's very little resistance in these places. |

That said, I have to admit this made me chuckle. The hardcore Batman nerds did completely blow it. |
