If they don’t allow guns as a rule then there is no logical way this could have happened!

No logical way at all!

None!

Do they post it at the entrance
to their theaters in Colorado ?

How would they know? Do they have metal detectors?

The signs sure did their job last night.

Cinemark doesn’t allow anyone other than law enforcement officers to carry legal firearms in their theaters.

The hell you say!
I've been carrying to the movies for years and never seen a 30.06 posted.

That’s strange. I go to the Cinemark here in Denton all the time while carrying concealed (legally of course with a TX CHL). I do not recall ever seeing the required 30.06 sign at the door, nor any of the unenforceable “gun with a red slash across it” signs either. Even if they did have the latter sign up, I would ignore it anyway as it is not in compliance with the TX CHL laws.

Obviously a theater chain to be avoided. Just like most colleges, it is a victim zone where any perp knows there won't be any armed resistance.

“Cinemark doesn’t allow guns...”

Recent evidence suggests otherwise.

I may be exaggerating my likely response but I can’t imagine running away from this. I’d want to take him down.

Well in that case, the shooter is in big trouble.

That’s a relief! If some of the moviegoers had been armed, we don’t know what terrible things might have happened!

This proves Bloomberg is right in his comments today—we do need to do something about guns.

Laws governing conceal carry permits should be liberalized, allowing more law abiding citizens to carry guns, anywhere they choose to carry them.

If this had been done sooner, it would have prevented huge numbers of gun related homicides.

You can’t seriously be suggesting that more guns in a DARK theater would have helped against a man in black with four guns and a canister of gas.

Or maybe you could.

Sure. All those poor folk needed was crossfire in the dark.

Wish I knew how to post that face palm photo.

Since Cinemark does not care about the safety of its patrons, who would let their children go there?

Well that makes sense, I mean we wouldn't want someone to go in and start shooting up a theater full of innocent folks watching a movie.

Policies like this thankfully prevent such from happening...

In disarming its customers, Cinemark assumed responsibility for their safety and protection. Cinemark is liable. Of course the argument will be that Cinemark didn’t force its patrons to go there, armed or otherwise, but people need to hold their feet to the fire. The world is too dangerous for businesses to have these backwards polices that prevent citizens from being able to defend themselves. Anti firearms laws have always been useless when it comes to stopping crime, but in a more genteel age, before the cultural revolution, businesses could get away with that kind of silliness. In this age of pop culture, violence and leftist lunacy, people need to be armed.

They should be sued for first denying a legal right and then not providing the appropriate level of security.

I expect more theaters will now follow suit. That way, they can give their patrons a warm fuzzy about the theater being a safe, gun-free environment, don'tcha know.

I suggest that Cinemark upgrade to double secret prohibition of firearms.

That will fix it.

if there had been a gun in there, some of those 13 people might be alive
