Not Too Bright

[Dennis1209]

Watching the Nashville news this morning and evidently a couple of guys walked into a Nashville theater open carrying. Scared people and the cops were called.

From what they reported, they had handgun carry permits and the police told the OCers the theater was posted and to take their weapons to their vehicles. They did and the movie resumed.

I'm not going to argue the merits of OC vs. CCW but, not to bright to OC in a movie theater right after the Aurora tragedy, and it was posted too boot.

Ya know, terrorism works better on Americans than any other group on earth. They need to come up with a pill for spontaneous urination. They have one for everything else (except stupid).

Devotees of Lenoard Embody perhaps? But total idiots nonetheless. There is a time and place for open carry. A posted theater...after a highly polarizing shooting... is neither.

I agree, BTW. Just real tired of bedwetters right now.

Perhaps there should be some sort of IQ testing in the permit process?

The boy with the orange hair has a high IQ. A psych evaluation would be more effective. Falls under the category of be careful what you wish for.

Good point.

Maybe IQ plus psych evaluation? Should be a part of the reproduction license, too .

Remember who would be giving the exam. We are all gun nuts. None of us would pass.

Kind of nice to hear they were just asked to stow their guns.

Yep. That's how it should have gone.

Yeah but I think that was mostly by murdering people after the birth process...maybe gene manipulation would not bother people as much.

Then again; we would still have that "free will" problem and a little thing called "evil" in the world; I don't there there is a gene for "evil".

Yea, at least we didn't get any case law out of it. I have told store managers in the past that have a gun buster that it does not make anyone safer if I disarm, stow my gun in my car where it might be stolen just to visit their store.

Was the theater actually posted, and if so, how did these guys miss it?

You ever walked into a screen door? I'm guessing they just weren't looking.

[Chadastrophic]

The theater postings I've seen have been small and out of the way. Literally a gun buster the size of a quarter, on clear vinyl, and behind tinted glass.

The Gun Busters I have seen in theaters have been around the ticket sales window, not at the door. Sometimes they don't even open the ticket window and have you come inside to concessions to buy the ticket by-passing the gun buster as it is not at the door. (at least in Oak Ridge). Gun Busters if they are the law of the land should be of a certain size/color and be required to be on the door. One should not have to examine the entire building playing hide and seek looking for them. However I think they should just hang up a criminal buster instead as that will certainly keep the crime down in their eyes. Signs don't stop criminals.

That or a mental evaluation. A note from a doctor, priest something!

I've been saying that all along!

I have a solution for this. Just stop going to posted movie theaters. If they think that they need to take my ability to defend myself then I think I need to keep my money.

[pcrc11]

Just think they could have warded off another mass shooting by showing up with their guns exposed. I have read many postings on different forums that had the movie goers been allowed to carry that the shooter in Aurora would have thought twice about doing what he did. Who knows maybe there was another wacko waiting outside this theatre who had second thoughts when he saw them with their guns on their hips.

The misspelling in the thread title cracks me up.

[daddyo]

Those of you who think there should be some kind of psych evaluation as part of the permit application - are you sure that you would pass it?

Do you want the gubmit setting those kind of parameters and deciding whether or not you are psychologically fit to be able to carry a weapon?

I don't.
