View Full Version : We all should make a statement at Century 16

I think that we all should make a statement @ Century 16 when the theater re-opens. I would really like to see that theater PACKED OUT the night that it opens...and I would REALLY like to have a large group of gun owners/supporters to go in and see a showing of "The Dark Knight Rises".

Of course, that's pending they continue showing that movie at that theater. But I think that would send a strong statement to the community that we are not scared or intimidated by some punk degenerate scumbag who intended on taking as many lives as possible.

It would make me very sad to see that theater close up because of this heinous act. I hope the community responds as a whole, but I specifically would like to see gun owners/supporters go out en masse.

Thoughts?

IMHO as long as the business does not support 2A / CCW, it will not earn my business.

I'd rather support the family of the victim through many donation outlets setup so far.

Agreed. I'm actually interested to see how Cinemark is going to handle this whole thing in the aftermath. They could go really wrong pretty easily if they choose to...but I'm hoping that they will not.

Any company that does not support my right will be boycotted.... I don't feel they should be supported until there policy changes!! No open carry or ccw allowed means I spend my $$ other places and at companies that support me....

Why would you want to support an anti 2A company ??

While I understand (and completely agree with) this viewpoint...I think my intentions have been mistaken. Which is entirely my fault because I see now I didn't explain them well enough.

Basically I am coming from the viewpoint to make a statement to the community. What better place and time to make a statement about this event than going to the location of the shooting and watching the very movie that the shooting occured in? I really hadn't equated Century's policies into the equation (and in hindsight I probably should have).

I may be coming from a different position than most here...as I live less than a mile away from the theater and I knew 3 people in the shooting (one was critically wounded). Aurora is my community and my backyard...and I want to make a statement to everyone that we refuse to be scared of something like this. We will continue our lives as normally as possible after something like that. That's where I am coming from.

And exactly how is "The Community" going to know the movie is full of CCW / gun owners??

No firearms signs get 1 of 2 responses from me
1) I ignore it and walk in
2) I contact the manager then higher up the food chain informing them they have lost my business. The reason why they lost my business and how many people i know who i will contact regarding their policy.

Well there are plenty of ways to get that info out to the public. Just off the top of my head...Facebook, Twitter, call into the news station, blogs, mass texts, shouting it from the street corner...

I understand where you're coming from and I agree with you. But again, I would wager this is more personal to me than it is you since I see you reside in Windsor.

I've been to that theater at least 50 times...I know for a fact that I saw a film in theater 9 not more than two weeks ago. Like I said before...this is my own backyard. I'm not saying this is any less important to you than me, it's just more personal is all.

I'm not trying to upset anyone or support anti-gun anything...just trying to do something that would make a statement. If you're not down with that...that is fine. I would just ask for understanding in why I want to do something like this.

The image was just googled. But yes, all Cinemark's theaters are no gun zone except for LEO. I remember because there were some folks from defensivecarry.com who complained to their headquarter last year after being kicked out.

I once read that 95% of all theater seats tested positive for human fecal matter. I have spent thousands of dollars on a home theater system, so I can watch movies in the relative safety of my own home. By going to the movie houses that ban concealed firearms we are contributing to our own demise. I think letters to the management and owners/ shareholders of such theaters would produce the desired results. Boycott them and encourage others to do so too.

Hit them in the pocketbook, because that is all they really understand. Maybe suggest half price admission to CCW holders night and off duty cops in for free too. If they get a ton of emails and letters via snail mail they might change the policy. In the meantime, I will get the full use out of my home theater system.

Typically a "no weapons" sign at a theater or other privately owned venue is simply company policy rather than a law. If you open carry or they wand you and discover a "weapon" (including pocket knives) they can turn you away and ask you to leave. In most cases you'll just be asked to lock it in your vehicle before they'll let you in. They cannot arrest you or confiscate your property. If, however, you refuse to leave after being asked to do so, you can be cited for trespassing or disorderly conduct when police respond to their complaint. If they don't notice your "weapon" it is a non-issue. Government facilities and schools have bans which are backed by state or federal law, and if you disregard those signs it is a criminal offense.

I called Aurora Movie Tavern (the only theater we go to) and they directed me to their corporate office. The corporate office asked me if this is in regard to the Aurora shooting; I told her not really, I just want to know their policy as I am disinclined to patronize an establishment that does not allow me to protect myself. She said the person who handles that is out of the office, but she'll call me back. I'll update if they do.

I have looked for firearms-related signs posted at this theater before, but I haven't seen one.

Yes you CAN carry in a place that serves alcohol. But I wouldn't recomment drinking. I THINK you can be up to the legal driving limit in CO, but I'm not sure about that.

Tragedy or not, I think you are barking up the wrong tree. I also think that the
majority of us on the board are not "afraid" or "scared" and we as a majority have
already made up our minds long before the tragedy occured that no human is going
to deter us out of fear of doing something. As far as the no CCW, that speaks volumes
of the companys desire to restrict our Constitutional Freedoms. I can not in good conscience, tragedy or not, patronize a company that willing restricts my freedoms.

Well I am not 100% on the Colorado statute as I should be, but my understanding is you cannot have consumed alcohol and carry concealed, but oddly you can carry open.

I recently had a friend who was at a party, had a few, when the police showed up to shut the party down for whatever reason. He removed his Kel-Tec from his pocket and clipped it to his belt and left the party. The officers were not happy about it but nothing illegal there as he was not driving and was not PD.

My understanding is that in most areas you cannot carry a concealed weapon where alcohol is being consumed in public, such as a restaraunt or bar. I could be off a little on this though and it might be helpful to look up the actual statute.

"Intoxicated" is subjective and is up to the arresting officers discretion. The law is a little too vague for me to ever drink and carry, so I don't. Not a sip. If you want to take the risk, have at it but there is nothing to protect you if you are determined at the scene to be intoxicated.

Just called and asked him, because I dont trust my memory for such things. He went from concealed to open carry because he did not want his CCW at stake if the officers did decide to question him. He went from concealed to open out of sight of the officers so as far as they knew he had been open the whole time.

As I am from Tennessee, it is somewhat ingrained in me to not carry into places that serve alcohol, so thanks for the clarification.

I'm with you on this 100%. Either don't drink at all, or leave your firearm at home. I think the statute actually says "impaired" which is still ultimately going to be up to the officer's judgement. Better not to chance it.

Thanks for that... done giving them my business... even though I'm not drinking (which they're pretty over priced IIRC) I don't care to support that place if I can't carry. Well my $8/month subscription to Netflix plus the cost of a 6-pack is better than anything they can provide.

For cryin' out loud. I know some guys are new, and it's good to pass on information to those less knowledgeable, etc...

But how hard is it to look up a statute? Seriously. If you don't know, don't go throwing out wild speculation about what you think the law says. After listening to the radio these past few days I'm just about fed up with misinformation being disseminated by so-called experts on various talk shows about what type of gun does what and what the law is, etc... And then we have to wade through it again here.

First...the law makes no distinction when carrying a firearm and being under the influence of intoxicating liquor or drugs if the firearm is openly carried or concealed. If you are "under the influence" and you are in possession of a firearm it's Prohibited Use of a Weapon.

Possession basically means you can exercise immediate control of the firearm.

Under the influence is not defined. It is not the same limits as used for DUI/DWAI. It is up to the officer's discretion if someone is under the influence. However...before the officer can expect a conviction, he/she should have some pretty hard evidence to support his/her position...ie; a blood or breath test. Good luck without that in court.

Colorado statutes also do not:


Prohibit carry into an establishment that serves liquor (though the property owner might)
Prohibit consuming alcoholic beverages while in possession of a firearm (though it's probably not a good idea most of the time)

Here's the statute:


18-12-106. Prohibited use of weapons.

(1) A person commits a class 2 misdemeanor if:

(a) He knowingly and unlawfully aims a firearm at another person; or

(b) Recklessly or with criminal negligence he discharges a firearm or shoots a bow and arrow; or

(c) He knowingly sets a loaded gun, trap, or device designed to cause an explosion upon being tripped or approached, and leaves it unattended by a competent person immediately present; or

(d) The person has in his or her possession a firearm while the person is under the influence of intoxicating liquor or of a controlled substance, as defined in section 12-22-303 (7), C.R.S. Possession of a permit issued under section 18-12-105.1, as it existed prior to its repeal, or possession of a permit or a temporary emergency permit issued pursuant to part 2 of this article is no defense to a violation of this subsection (1).

It does make a difference. That's why there are different statutes for driving under the influence and driving while ability impaired.

I see. So "under the influence" and "ability impaired" are so very different that separate laws must be in place to differentiate? Are you kidding? No gawdamn wonder five cops will give you five different answers. No one can be expected to keep such a massive amount of BS straight.

They are pretty close in definition and it appears the difference is what is judged to be the level of impairment or intoxication or whatever-the-right-term-is.

(f) "Driving under the influence" means driving a motor vehicle or vehicle when a person has consumed alcohol or one or more drugs, or a combination of alcohol and one or more drugs, that affects the person to a degree that the person is substantially incapable, either mentally or physically, or both mentally and physically, to exercise clear judgment, sufficient physical control, or due care in the safe operation of a vehicle.
(g) "Driving while ability impaired" means driving a motor vehicle or vehicle when a person has consumed alcohol or one or more drugs, or a combination of both alcohol and one or more drugs, that affects the person to the slightest degree so that the person is less able than the person ordinarily would have been, either mentally or physically, or both mentally and physically, to exercise clear judgment, sufficient physical control, or due care in the safe operation of a vehicle.
(h) Pursuant to section 16-2-106, C.R.S., in charging the offense of DUI, it shall be sufficient to describe the offense charged as "drove a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs or both".
(i) Pursuant to section 16-2-106, C.R.S., in charging the offense of DWAI, it shall be sufficient to describe the offense charged as "drove a vehicle while impaired by alcohol or drugs or both".

And exactly how is "The Community" going to know the movie is full of CCW / gun owners??

No firearms signs get 1 of 2 responses from me
1) I ignore it and walk in
2) I contact the manager then higher up the food chain informing them they have lost my business. The reason why they lost my business and how many people i know who i will contact regarding their policy.

Vote with Your Wallets.

That might be the best way to handle this. Have a hundred or more CCW holders show up and all refuse to pay the entry fee due to their policy. Quietly, of course, perhaps one-by-one with the manager. They won't know you're making a statement if you don't show up and state your opinion. But frankly, if the theater fills up anyway, they won't care.

Yup.
The last thing we need on a collective basis is to draw attention.
Subtle is more effective.

We need to be ambassadors of the shooting sports, not activists.

Subtle???

So the ninja assault plan is back on? I will have to ask my mom, but I will try to be there f I can afford the bus fare[ROFL1]

Seriously. Vote with your wallet/choices in life. Work a job. Be responsible. Leave others alone, because most of us would like to be left alone. Associate with people you like and enjoy being with. Love your family and care for those who are truly in need.

Have you ever wondered why the left is the side that goes out and protests against everything and anything? Many of them are miserable attention seekers who just want others to validate their feelings.

I support the right to speak and protest. Most people who protest don't really have anything worth hearing.

Be safe.

Hey you still don't have that P226 available do you? I'm still trying to score the funds but I'm hoping yours is still available...

This is how Dudley would end up getting my money, being out there talking to the masses. After all he is RMGO, but i doubt he'd do it.

like others have said I'll vote with my wallet. If they change their policy I'll give them some business.

Ga is a great place . Give it time and you will find a few choice places to shoot. Just the same it would be great if you and the family could make it .

I was just about to say this... isn't there something in CRS that states the law about carrying a firearm in a place that serves alcohol? I know I don't carry when I go to a bar, even if I'm not drinking.

Not quite.

CRS 18-12-106 (Prohibited Use of Weapons) makes it illegal to be in possession while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. However, CRS says nothing about carrying in a bar.

That being said, my attitude is very simply that, if I go out, I'm probably armed. If they post a no-guns sign, they don't want my business. I won't go where my money is not wanted.

FWIW, The AMC at Westminster Promenade, and the one at Flatirons, both have signs up. I may buttonhole a manager to ask him what he's doing to protect me, the next time that I decide to spend twenty bucks on popcorn.

ETA looks like I got beat to the punch.

I look at it like this: If I have to pull my weapon, and use it, possesion(sp?) will be the least of my problems.
