“We’ve turned it over to the City Attorney’s Office,” said Police Department spokesman Matt Barnes. “They’ll decide whether to add charges, remove some or dismiss them.”

Translation: Depending on the "mood" we're in, we'll get together with the City Attorney's Office to decide whether to screw this guy out of his civil rights, or let him go.

1) Did the theater have a posted warning about No Guns Permitted on these premises?

2) It sounds like James Mapes had a valid conceal/carry permit, plus another posting indicated that CO is also an open carry state as well.

3) If there was no posted warning and James Mapes had a valid conceal/carry permit, than what law was being broken that would cause the police to arrest Mapes or for the city attorney to consider pressing charges?

4) Unless Mapes violated a printed warning against No Guns Allowed on Premises, then I hope he sues the city & the police & the theater & the scumbag who called in the original complaint, for everything they're worth, plus more!
