You can get a conceal/carry permit here. We even have "Stand your ground", except we call it "Make my day".

Shock revelation: City of Aurora, Colorado would have arrested anyone who stopped the Batman massacre with a concealed weapon

Aurora, Colorado already has strict gun control laws on the books that make it:

• Illegal to carry a concealed weapon, even if you're a law-abiding citizen.

• Illegal to discharge a firearm in public unless you are a peace officer.

Thus, any person who would have shot James Holmes and stopped the massacre would, themselves, have been arrested as a criminal!

You would be in the same boat as George Zimmerman.

According to current Colorado law (http://www.coloradoceasefire.org/munilaws.htm), it is illegal to carry a concealed weapon in all the following cities:

Aurora, Boulder, Broomfield, Colorado Springs, Denver, Englewood, Lakewood, Littleton, Longmont, Northglenn, Pueblo, Thornton, Westminster, Wheat Ridge.

It is illegal to even OWN a large number of firearms in Thornton and Lafayette. In Aurora, it is illegal to carry a firearm in a vehicle! Thus, even driving to a movie theater with a firearm in your own car makes you a criminal.

Here are some of the other gun control laws that already exist in Aurora: (http://www.coloradoceasefire.org/munilaws.htm)

1. "Dangerous weapon" includes firearm

2. Revocation of license for furnishing a firearm to a minor or someone under the influence.

3. Window displays cannot include firearms with barrels less than 12 inches long.

4. Unlawful to carry concealed "dangerous weapon"

5. Unlawful to discharge firearms, unless by law enforcement on duty or on shooting range.

6. Unlawful to possess firearm while under the influence of intoxicant

7. Unlawful to have loaded firearm in motor vehicle.

8. Unlawful for a juvenile to possess a firearm.

Yep and the statement about it being illegal to transport a firearm in car is also blatently false.

Local jurisdictions may not enact laws that restrict a person's ability to travel with a weapon. [C.R.S. 18-12-105.6]

Keep looking at life through those Canadian coloured glasses. If the shooter, regardless of his body armor took fire. Lives would have been saved. You know it and I know it. Kinda tough to shoot innocent people when you're be shot at.

I don't know it. And neither do you. You would hope that's the case, but you don't know. You weren't there and neither was I. Where I'm from has nothing to do with it.

So a whackjob goes into a movie theater and massacres a bunch of people - and the line of argument that emerges is that the people in the cinema with their kids should have been carrying guns, just in case?

Does that strike anyone else as a bit insensitive?

How about this scenario- the likely hero with his trusty gun fires upon a fully armored individual with a fully loaded assault rifle, only to be riddled with bullets from head to toe in about a minute tops. Game over.

At least he had the backbone to try instead of waiting to catch a bullet upside his head like a sheep headed for slaughter.

True..I'll agree with that.

However, it just wouldn't be likely a lone gunman or even a few could take down someone with tear gas and full body armor.

We teach them 'floor scatter' shots, really.

also how to aim at ankles and legs ...

there are other spots for 'quick bleed out' besides the heart and neck, ya know, in the lower body parts.

Some spots are not as fast, but if'n you shatter an ankle with a pistol shot? focus and direction are suddenly changed.

get lucky? get both ankles shattered? Game Over, Mostly...
