As I used to teach my students in my class section on lethal force: carrying a concealed weapon will make you the biggest coward in the world. Every altercation, no matter how minor, is upgraded to "lethal force" because of that roscoe on your hip. If you aren't of a sober and judicious temperament, save everybody the trouble and leave the gun at home.

I don't why anyone goes to movie theaters, anymore. At best, you have to sit through 20 minutes of previews, and listen to morons babbling on their cellphones.

At worst, some lunatic opens fire.

i'm in florida.  I have never seen a "no guns" sign on the door.  I saw the new minion movie this week.  you bet I carried. Movie theaters are a dangerously soft target with plenty of blind spots, zero security, and elderly/children everywhere.   And thanks to one million florida concealed permit carriers, I saw PLENTY of vet-looking dudes with fanny packs in the movie too.  I love it.  

As I used to teach my students in my class section on lethal force: carrying a concealed weapon will make you the biggest coward in the world. Every altercation, no matter how minor, is upgraded to "lethal force" because of that roscoe on your hip. If you aren't of a sober and judicious temperament, save everybody the trouble and leave the gun at home.

I've carried for 18 years.  never pulled it on anyone, even when some jackass punched me at the mall in my early 20s.  I've walked away from PLENTY of situations where the other dude wanted to escalate.  It's actually a WIN to know you COULD blast him into the next life, but you're BETTER than that.  Smile, shake your head, and just walk away.

I agree - hotheads that 'stand their ground' when both idiots run into a deadly confrontation - they belong in prison.

So the cops describe the man as a "drifter" yet also mention that he had a fake wig, glasses and an car parked at the exit door.   Sure, that sounds like something a drifter would do.   ::)

And conveniently the perp kills himself....again.

Is this a terrorist attack?  Wait, no, because it's not a muslim.  How quickly the media decides to not call it what it is.  If a muslim kills an American because they hate them it's a terrorist attack, but that white kid killing blacks because he hates them is called a Hate crime.  Fucking media are assholes.

The term Cunt should be used in place of all 'terror' related adjectives. For example: "This just in from Austin, Texas. 4 people have been killed after a massive cunt opened fire in a supermarket."

Wouldn't piss off any particular race or religious group, as everyone regardless of their background hates a cunt.

This one was way to close to home

Absolutely sick - The pussy planned to run but the Cajun police were too fast in response so the bitch killed himself. There is a looong bridge right outside of Lafayette (Atchafalaya Basin Bridge). The only thing I regret is that he killed himself. Would have been much better to have received some Cajun justice and let loose in the basin for the gators to handle.

I'm sure, to the people seeing that movie, this sure as shit felt like a terror attack.

I hate that there's some sort of honor bestowed upon those killed by a brown person with a certain religion, not given to those killed by a white dude with a different religion.

LOL! I tried to make it as "light" as possible while still getting the point across. I used to hand out the "Rules of a Gunfight". Then I went into the MA state's laws about what constitutes legitimate use of deadly force (very odd in MA) and then tried to help people get in the right mindset before they think about these things. On more than one occasion, I've had a student (usually a woman) tell me that she could never see herself killing another person, that she plans on using the gun as a "warning". Nicely as I could, I encouraged her to get a mean-looking dog rather than a gun. Nothing makes me madder than hearing about a goblin taking away a citizen's gun and using it on them.

Quote
1. Forget about knives, bats and fists. Bring a gun. Preferably, bring at least two guns. Bring all of your friends who have guns. Bring four times the ammunition you think you could ever need.

2. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammunition is cheap – life is expensive. If you shoot inside, buckshot is your friend. A new wall is cheap – funerals are expensive.

3. Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss.

4. If your shooting stance is good, you’re probably not moving fast enough or using cover correctly.

5. Move away from your attacker and go to cover. Distance is your friend. (Bulletproof cover and diagonal or lateral movement are preferred.)

6. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a semi or full-automatic long gun and a friend with a long gun.

7. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.

8. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating, reloading, and running. Yell “Fire!” Why “Fire”? Cops will come with the Fire Department, sirens often scare off the bad guys, or at least cause then to lose concentration and will…. and who is going to summon help if you yell ”Intruder,” “Glock” or “Winchester?”

9. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting standards will be more dependent on “pucker factor” than the inherent accuracy of the gun.

10. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

11. Always cheat, always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.

12. Have a plan.

13. Have a back-up plan, because the first one won’t work. “No battle plan ever survives 10 seconds past first contact with an enemy.”

14. Use cover or concealment as much as possible, but remember, sheetrock walls and the like stop nothing but your pulse when bullets tear through them.

15. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.

16. Don’t drop your guard.

17. Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees. Practice reloading one-handed and off-hand shooting. That’s how you live if hit in your “good” side.

18. Watch their hands. Hands kill. Smiles, frowns and other facial expressions don’t (In God we trust. Everyone else keep your hands where I can see them.)

19. Decide NOW to always be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH.

20. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.

21. Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet if necessary, because they may want to kill you.

22. Be courteous to everyone, overly friendly to no one.

23. Your number one option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.

24. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with anything smaller than ”4″.

25. Use a gun that works EVERY TIME. “All skill is in vain when an Angel blows the powder from the flintlock of your musket.” At a practice session, throw your gun into the mud, then make sure it still works. You can clean it later.

26. Practice shooting in the dark, with someone shouting at you, when out of breath, etc.

27. Regardless of whether justified or not, you will feel sad about killing another human being. It is better to be sad than to be room temperature.

Have you driven the Causeway in New Orleans? Its even longer..

I got stuck on the basin bridge about 20 years ago. I was living in Lafayette with a business in BR and about 5am I was heading in for a 7:30 meeting. Thought I have PLENTY of time. As I was getting on the bridge I saw this insane looking fucker in the median jumping up and down and waving his hands. When you first get on the bridge there is a ramp (since its elevated) so I couldn't see ahead.. I am barreling ahead laughing at this head-case on the roadside and when I got over the ramp - MOTHER FUCK - tails lights literally to the horizon.. 18 wheeler jackknifed and wedged across both lanes - and there is no turning around as the "median" once you get on the bridge is the swamp...
Got to the office at 12:30.. Was dieting drinking hella water so had to piss in a bottle and walk to the edge and dump in swamp probably 5 times.

Over the years, I've spent lots of time and money at the Acadiana Mall and various places all around there just down the street from that theater. Have friends in Lafayette, used to party there in my college days. I'll pass through there for a day or 2 once in a while. Still live a couple hours west of there.

Scary shit.
