I see your point. I think our justice system lacks common sense. Our country is so far from personal responsibility that it is sickening.

The conservative approach would be that it is my responsibility to provide for my families safety in the theater. They SHOULD NOT be held accountable for my safety (although I agree with you that a judge would wrongly, probably say they did).

Now if that theater banned guns, then they ban my personal responsibility to protect my family. In which case, they are responsible. Which IMO would be a correct assumption and a judge should rule towards that.

So yeah. In both cases the judge would probably rule against the business/theater. One justly, the other not.

The bolded sentence stuck a thought. If it were legal(or a law) for every US citizen to carry a gun and that theater banned the carrying of guns on its premises, then they would be responsible for your protection.

Since this country is anti guns, the theater was right in banning guns, they obeyed the law of the land.

No one forced any of those people to go to this movie, at midnight. They were there of their own free will.

Gun free zones have been around for a while and stuff still happens. Time to test guns required zones.

As to the stupid lawsuit, dude went to see a violent movie. He got his money's worth. He should be thanking the theater for this unique experience.
