THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
I've read the theatre which hosted the murders in Aurora is a posted "No Firearms" business, but the information always seems to come from the same source. It's sat long enough without being refuted that I'm starting to believe it. Rather than citing it in the forthcoming arguments over our governor Pat Quinn (the Eskimo) expanding our already idiotic gun laws, I'd like to know if it's correct. Any patrons or former patrons of that theater able to verify presence or absence of such a sign?

None of ours in Grand Junction are "gun free". Especially if I am there

Why, No one pays attention to them anyway, especially criminals.
Most of them have a basic handgun with one of those international red circle crossed out gun and No Firearms, written on top or bottom.
I've never seen one although the wife thought there was one in an eatery we went to last week. Didn't bother her either.

Important note: In Colorado there is no force of law to these signs. Unless the firearm is somehow spotted the private property owner/representative will not have any knowledge anyone is carrying. IF the firearm is noticed the carrier can be asked to leave, refusal to do so can result in being charged with criminal trespass.

The exceptions are the locations/conditions specifically mentioned in statute; i.e. federal/gov't buildings, buildings with metal detectors to name just two.

Here ya go, jackass from Police foundation sez CCW would not have helped. Fuck him.

Many theaters, including the Cinemark in Aurora, prohibit patrons from bringing in their concealed weapons they use for personal protection.
That irks people like Dudley Brown, executive director of Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, who said that he has refused to go to Aurora theater because of that ban.
"What could have stopped this is law-abiding citizens being allowed to carry," Brown insisted.
Lowak, the father of the shooting survivor, also said he believes people carrying concealed weapons might have helped limit the bloodshed.
But Hubert Williams, former head of the Newark police department and president of the Police Foundation, said that the idea that average citizens with guns could keep a theater safe only makes sense "on a piece of paper."
"Reality is much more complicated. What if you pull a gun out, take aim and someone else thinks you're the shooter?" he asked. "Would you stand up against an AR-15, AK-47 military-style assault weapon? Give me a break."

Yep, the local theater by me has the same gay ass sign. Since I was carrying my LCR and 2 speed reloaderes, I figured the sign was for the Mel Gibson wanna be's in any case

"yeah i got a lot of this shit from the "respectfully I thnk..." crowd. my le and corrections friends said things like "I know what i would have done"

It's funny how the argument changes. CCW didnt help Aurora did it, neener. Oh they were prohibitied? Well it wouldnt help to be armed


This has been studied.....when shooter go shooting, 18.8 peoople die per incident when the cops stop him. 2.2 die when the people stop it.
