Soft target. It's one of the reasons tha I ALWAYS carry in a theater if I am with my family, even if there's a "NO FIREARMS" sign on the door.

Fucking hell, must be so tempting to pull it out while you're watching an action flick

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.

Reasonable response.

I too, thought Southpaw did not live up to expectations.

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.

Maybe if more persons in the theatre were packing heat, this could have been prevented?

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.

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.

In today's world, is there a need for individuals such as 'twaddle' to break 16 hour old stories? Moving forward, can we assume that since we're all online, we already are familiar with the news?

If nuclear war is declared on America, most getbiggers will ignore the local news and sirens outside until there is an official thread on getbig.

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.

The breakdown in societal trust is really accelerating.

According to the Massachusetts State Police, I am qualified. They are the ones that demanded a "judicious use of force" section in the NRA's Basic Handgun course that I have been teaching since 1991.

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.

Yep. It sums it up nicely.

THIS is what you are concerned about after innocent people are slaughtered at the movies by some nutter?

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.
