Hopefully not, the shooter used a handgun this time, if I understood correctly, instead of one of those "evil assault weapons". Also I think the guy had a record and couldn't legally own a gun but still it was a theater which seem to have a special significance to the antis.

The leftists will always choose to capitalize on any incident to further their leftist agenda.

The CRAZIES and COPYCATS are being STIMULATED by the 24/7 cable news cycle along with spending too much time on the internet. We need to return to NEWS AT NOON/6/AND 11.

Years ago we used to watch WESTERNS and SHOOT EM' UP CARTOONS, we didn't go around looking to commit mass murder.

TOO MUCH GAME PLAYING, folks have lost sight of reality, and that's HOLLYWOOD'S fault. (the shooting/destruction hand held or computer games continue to become more violent).

The ANTI'S search for any reason to advance their AGENDA of disarming citizens.

^^^ plus very little accountability or consequence!

Was this theater a "GUN FREE ZONE"?

[white eagle]

these type of people are for the most part cowards
making targets out of innocent people
makes my belief to defend myself and family even more a reality
no way to know if a cc holder would have helped out or not but it brings piece of mind

[Hardcast416taylor]

I read this as a copy cat shooter that wants his name known and be famous (?) as the other sicko puppy that did the other theater shooting, to be noticed. Can`t wait to hear about how or where he got the gun he used. Or better yet did he just buy the gun? The anti`s are still going to try and have a field day over this. Wonder if he had a confederate with him?Robert

Apart from government facilities and schools (where carrying a gun can get you arrested) do any CHL holders pay much attention to no weapons signs?

[DR Owl Creek]

The "progressives" on Twitter are already calling for all white males to be banned from having firearms because of the Lafayette shooting, despite the fact that only 2.5% of all gun related crimes in larger cities like Chicago, NYC, LA, DC, etc. are committed by white males.

Perp had previous mental issues, convictions for bad behavior, was TURNED DOWN FOR A CCW because of his past. Police said he had WIGS AND GLASSES for disguises in his motel room. He had been in motel 6 room all month, were the disguises used for ROBBERIES TO SUPPORT HIMSELF?

Here in Illinois you better pay attention to the GFZ signs and yes we do have lists of GFZ locations on several sites.

There is no such thing as a "gun free" zone there are only "unarmed law-abiding citizens" zones! Of all the STUPID ideas the antis come up with I don't see how "gun free zones" make sense even to them, do they really think a person bent on committing an act of violence will not do so because he can't legally carry a gun into the "zone"? As we all KNOW FULL WELL "gun free zones" accomplish just the opposite of their intended purpose and have the effect of being chosen precisely because of their undefended situation!

[gray wolf]

Gun free zone, no open carry no CCW carry.

He had an arrest for Arson some years ago,
Last time I looked Arson was a felony.

Why on Earth do people still think a gun free zone is a safe place ??

Oh excuse me Sir, Here's your movie ticket and
don't forget your complimentary target to stick on your back,
or would you prefer the smaller size for the back of your head.

I do, but I will go into any of these establishments and explain to the owners/managers that they will not get any business from me or any of the people I come into contact with. I also explain to them that if they go out of business, the world will be a much better place!

On IllinoisCarry they have a business card AVAILABLE stating just that.

I am waiting for a law that states "IF YOU POST GFZ YOU POST YOUR INSURANCE POLICY TO COVER ALL MEDICAL ETC EXPENSES WHEN THERE IS A SHOOTING"

[Elkins45]

I heard on the radio just now that his ex-wife "had all of his guns taken away" when she filed a protection order against him.

I'm crossing my fingers and hoping he stole the gun, although the lefty media will still find a way to make hay from it.

Dammit, I was thinking I might eventually be able to find pistol powder again.

Dammit, I was thinking I might eventually be able to find pistol powder again.

First thing that went through my mind upon seeing this was that I probably should get out early today to the LGS for a few more pounds of the powder and primers I saw when I was in there a few days ago, I resisted the urge and will probably continue to do so but I may drop by there tomorrow out of curiosity to see if the stock on the shelves has shrunk any. If so and there's anything left I might change my mind but hopefully it won't come to that.

Why Mass shootings happen in Gun Free Zones,odds of an immediate stop is diminished by law

So would carrying a gun in an IL movie theater that has a sign saying no weapons get you in serious trouble, or just asked to leave? The states I have lived in carrying a gun in a privately owned location with a sign will at the most get you removed for trespassing if you don't leave when asked.
