The theater refused to allow its patrons to defend themselves by putting up signs that made it illegal for CHL holders to be armed.

They need to be punished financially for such a stupid decision.

So you agree they need to be sued into oblivion. It’s all the theatre owners fault.

if anything, the patrons should be held responsible... because of mass shootings in other places, they should have foreseen the possibility of a mass shooting... and then to go to a theatre that does not allow firearms, they should have foreseen an even greater possibility of a mass shooting...

Yes, I'm glad the lawsuits are going forward. Wow, that's a switch for me. Usually I'm not a big fan of lawsuits. But in this case I'm for it. If business owners are going to take away my ability to defend myself and my family with their stupid "no firearms" signs then they take on the responsibility for reasonably assuring their customer's safety to a similar degree. eg. post armed undercover security in every theater.

Furthermore, there is an element of inviting attack. In the past 40+ years every single mass shooting (with only one exception) has occurred in an area where private citizens are prevented from carrying firearms. That's a pretty convincing track record that disarming your patrons invites attack.

Hopefully a few big settlements (and thus a boost in liability insurance rates) will help convince business owners to take down these idiotic signs and reduce their liability.

Agreed! Their stance invites problems.

I agree with you completely. The theater is responsible for its policy that denies its patrons the ability to defend themselves.
