Suzanna Hupp went on to get elected to the Texas legislature where she helped to pass the bill allowing concealed handgun licensing. The bill was immediately signed by governor Bush. The governor's predecessor, Ann Richards (a Democrat) had vetoed three prior attempts. As an aside, Suzanna Hupp's action of leaving her piece in the car was still illegal at the time. Times have changed. Now, in Texas, virtually anyone can carry a handgun in their vehicle. (There are exceptions: you can't be involved in a criminal activity, cannot be a convicted felon, cannot be a member of a "gang," etc.) |

Perhaps our society is sicker than I thought. And I mean US and Canadian society. RonB I won't go that far. The problem is news like CNN and the like only like to broadcast the bad types, rarely the good types so you begin to think almost everyone is bad. The truth is the small minority are nuts but they get all the publicity because the good people don't want or need the publicity. Sometimes, I shut off the news like CNN because they paint such a picture of doom, it makes me think the earth will cease to exist soon. Frankly I get tired of this picture of gloom. |

Even if there were CHLs carrying in the theater, or even if the theater was rife with uniformed police, there was no way to return fire in a dark theater with smoke/teargas, and it seems the perpetrator was wearing armor as well. As for the perpetrator, a 24yo neuroscience doctoral candidate from San Diego, that sure fits the stereotype of a conservative, republican, racist, redneck, gun nut doesn't it? No, but you fit the stereotype of a lefty loon. It's shocking that you can breathe. |

HeyBub wrote: G. Morgan wrote: HeyBub wrote: Batman wrote: Sounds like you had a blast of a time. One way, probably the best way, to avoid similar future tragedies is to provide free admission to holders of concealed handgun permits. If it were free there wouldn't be room for paying customers. G Good idea though, I can think of other businesses too that might offer a nice discount (50%?) for CHL holders in exchange for free security. Hell, just the sign alone advertising that fact would dissuade any dip**** criminal. I'm a little surprised a dozen CHL's were not in the theatre to fight back, it is Colorado after all. Back in '95, when Texas passed its concealed carry law, the legal eagle from the Texas Restaurant Association advised against posting ANY sign, whether for or against, concealed carry. His reasonings were thus: * If a restaurant prohibits concealed carry, the presumption can be that the restaurant will take responsibility for its patrons safety. If something nasty does happen, a permit holder who left his weapon in the car will have a sustainable action against the restaurant for failure to perform an implied duty. * If the restaurant puts up a sign encouraging permit holders and a permit holder someday takes vigorous objection to finding snot on his lettuce, the other diners will immediately sue the restaurant for creating a deadly nuisance. Best to remain silent on the subject, the lawyer concluded. Probably so. This banker does not agree, he say's bring 'em in! http://www.kens5.com/news/Texas-bank...103920673.html My wife works in a bank where carrying is strictly forbidden. Several of the banks in the area have been robbed over the past couple of years and she's not too happy about it. Last week someone was breaking into cars in the parking lot (and also on our street). I'm planning on getting her a gun (thinking about a Walther PPK/S - light enough for her) but I don't think she'll get a CHL. |

The perp bought a ticket, then went out the back door, pretending to talk on a cell phone as cover, propped the door open, went to his car to get weapons and then returned. |

The answer is to reduce the laws on the law abiding. Do you have a link for that Chris? I really need to show it to someone. here's another good quote for you; "To ban guns because criminals use them is to tell the innocent and law-abiding that their rights and liberties depend not on their own conduct, but on the conduct of the guilty and the lawless, and that the law will permit them to have only such rights and liberties as the lawless will allow... For society does not control crime, ever, by forcing the law-abiding to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of criminals.

As for getting real armor, it's readily available in most states if you have the money for it, and it's not that expensive. |

If you want to allow these dangerous consumer products to exist as part of your retail landscape, then you must live with the consequences of their use. Regardless if their use is "illegal" or improper. Because people are people, and there will always be enough unstable, short-tempered or mentally defective, socially deranged people, or people under the influence of drugs or alcohol, that will cause harm to others and will do so with what-ever they can get their hands on. And as this case shows, you simply can't spot them before they buy their guns. They don't always give themselves away. So you children - go and enjoy your guns. Brag and clean and polish and load and point and fantasize and dream about your guns. Because if you live by the gun, you die by the gun. I actually support crazy people control laws, those make more sense to me. ^_^ TDD |

The problem is news like CNN and the like only like to broadcast the bad types, rarely the good types so you begin to think almost everyone is bad. The truth is the small minority are nuts but they get all the publicity because the good people don't want or need the publicity. I agree but I wasn't talking about CNN. I was talking about the morbid subject line on this post; and the fact that quite a few folks joined in the revelry before someone finally put some kind of serious slant on the conversation. I was talking about us, not CNN! Personally, I thought about saying something, but chose not to "feed the troll". |

Some act of weather, earthquake, flood, transportation accident, infection or virus, cancer, food poisioning, etc. They were NOT killed by a gun either, moron They were killed by an idiot, not much different from you rest of blood dancing snipped |

Gun control originates from democrats, has been forever and still continues to this day. Talk about racist -- denying blacks of guns. Look it up! Funny thing that most of my darker skinned cousins don't know or refuse to believe, The KKK is a Democrat spawned organization. ^_^ TDD I rest my case. Even before the klan, Democrats favored and caused gun control. Blacks were not allowed to arm and defend themselves. As a young man I was surrounded by Democrats that didn't know stuff. You grew up during the "Colored Only" times. So did I. I drained the pond and moved :-| -- |
