The bigger question is what was and is now her position on concealed carry (2nd amendment as a hole for that fact)?

Two thoughts:
Whatever happened to the idea to be resepectful of others. The guy could have gone to the theatre lobby to text.
What were these people doing leaving a 22 month old baby home alone with a young teenage sitter. I think people ought to wait until a child is out of baby stage and at least to pre school age before you leave them with a sitter unless the sitter is a family member
I guess I am old fashioned.
I am also tired of stories like this being driven by the media. The retired cop is 71. So if hes convicted of anything in this action it will be a life sentence.
Is this lady going to run around now like Trayvons mom and leach of whatever political action group is behind her?

Oh, what, so you are elevating the widow to the status of a national spokesperson and we’re now going to get some RINO in Congress to sponsor “Oulson’s Law”? Your mindset is exactly what I’m complaining about, and it’s so automatic you scare me.

“The bigger question is what was and is now her position on concealed carry “

She likely turned against it. And this is why the jerk cop that did this is no good. His actions make the non carrying public more likely to think that CCW is probably not a good idea in practice.

Face facts people, some virulently oppose CCW. We deeply support it and know why we need it. But the overwhelming majority of people don’t carry and don’t think about it. They only think about it when some CCW use occurs. If its legit, they think “Ok”. If it’s some idiot like this guy, they start to turn against us. Enough uses like this theater shooter and we’ll eventually lose our rights.

CCW doesn’t mean you get to pick fights over trivial crap, and then use the gun when the person you provoke turns out to be bigger than you or something.

What would you think? Her husband got shot by some trigger-happy moron. Would you expect her to take the shooters side?

Wouldn't you agree that people like Reeves who instigate confrontations and then overreact and shoot someone are doing CCW holders, the overwhelming majority of which are stable and responsible people, no service? And that shootings like this are more likely to turn people against CCW laws than for them?
