Three Dead, Including Shooter, After Gunman Opens Fire at Louisiana Movie Theater; Multiple Injured

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2015/07/23/reports-shooter-opens-fire-at-louisiana-movie-theater/

Predictably, the theater has a no weapons policy

On CONDUCT POLICY tab

OUR THEATER PROHIBITS
...
• Possession of firearms or weapons of any kind regardless of whether openly or concealed, with or without a permit

Modern movie theaters are dead-end deathtraps. People enter through one or two points at the front, and there are no exits in the back... to escape from a shooter, they would have to go toward him.
If "no gun" signs in Delaware had force of law, I'd never see a movie again.

  News report this morning actually mentioned the potential to add metal detectors at theater entrances!

  How do we change the conversation, when so few people are knowledgable about firearms and just want someone else to protect them?  It's an uphill battle that we have to fight, every day.  Take a friend to the range!

I think modern theaters do have exits at both ends, as required by fire code. At least the ones I frequent: Regal People's plaza, Westown Middletown.
Folks who are against gun ownership (notice I didn't say democrats) just have a different mindset. Additional shootings just convince them they are correct that more "no guns" signs need to be hung. I'm happy I live in a state that offers CCDW. If that right is taken away, I will move (after retiring).

Haven't been to a movie theater since about 1985 and have no intention of going. No gun zones are a death trap.

The liberals and PC folks will never get it. Their anti-gun agenda over rides all their common sense. We know that No Gun Zones create a soft and very easy target. The libs and PC crowd cannot or do not want to go against their core belief that guns are not needed in our society. I really think this indicates that they are MORONS. I will never let a moron stop me from my right of self protection.  They might not care if they are victims but this old fart certainly does. All the best to everyone on this site.

On the other hand:  The more this happens in NO GUN ZONES the more people will see the need to be armed.  Whether they agree or not. As for me,  why just walk into a trap?

If an armed citizen dropped this guy the good news would travel.
