Man arrested for bringing gun into Thornton movie theater

[Byte Stryke]

Well, rest assured, there are going to be plenty of CCW holders going to movies for a while weather its 'allowed' or not, and everywhere else, unless its government property, or they don't know that law.

not this one...

and when this happens again... and it will, I will stand up and say "we'll I could have stopped it, but you don't want my kind there."

everyone can go pound sand, I'm watching me and mine

Get this, a 9news TV report just said the guy open carrying in the theater did not have an "open carry permit".

You're kidding, right???

This guy is simply a dumbass. Doing what he did just to prove a point or draw attention to himself is just disrespectful to all who were impacted by the Century 16 shootings.

Dumbass!

Ah but you're assuming that every gun owner has (or even can have for that matter) a CCW permit. What if a gun owner can't afford to get his CCW permit? What if a gun owner isn't allowed to have a CCW permit from an infraction from when he was a kid? You're making a lot of generalizations here.

Is there an infraction on the books, anywhere, that would make someone ineligible for a CFL in Colorado, but that wouldn't completely bar them from firearms possession?

If there is, then no doubt I'll stand corrected, but I didn't think there was such a beast.

And what's missing from the story: Did anybody at the theater tell him to leave before he was charged?

How about you OC freaks take a frickin breaK for a while? I understand the point you guys are trying to make- but how about cooling it instead of calling attention to yourselves.?

Sooo, what you are saying is that us "OC freaks" have to relinquish ours rights "for a while" so Joe doesn't feel nervous around us? How about we all relinquish our rig,hts "for a while"? If you truly understood the point WE are trying to make you wouldn't make such statements. I have open carried for over a year now. Do I have a CCP? Yup. Do I still OC? Yup. Maybe if all the CCP open carried more often the stigma would go away. Just maybe.

At least he was wearing a "Liberalism is a mental disorder" shirt

Just because you have a Right to do something doesn't always mean that you should. You need to exercise situational awareness, know your environment and the climate.

Standing in the middle of the street in Sturgis during their annual bike rally @ 0100 in the morning and screaming at the top of your lungs "All Harley riders suck c*ck and take it in the @$$!" isn't wise. Do you have the "right"? Sure! Will they find your dead body in a field later in the day? Probably.

There is a time and a place for everything. As firearms owners we should be smart enough to know when discretion is called for and when it's not a problem to stir things up by exercising your rights.

Bro, welcome to the forums, but bitching at the words of a guy who's been at the heart of this mess since the beginning is not the right foot to lead off with.

Demanding that the world look at oneself to make a point worked so well in California last year.
