Went and saw iron man 3 yesturday (awesome movie by the way) and something about going to the theatre made me on edge. So I upgraded. Instead of my ruger sp101 .357 I carried my full size berreta 90-two .40 with an extra mag. Overkill... maybe. Am I paranoid about the whole movie theatre thing?

Is there really such a thing as over kill?

No.

The Aurora incident is what finally convinced me to get my CCP.

 

[AZJD1968]

Nope, you are not paranoid.

 

[rammerjammer]

Nope, just well heeled.

I'm stunned! You actually carried into a movie theatre and nothing happened? The skies did not darken and you were not smote with lightning? Surely you jest, because we all know carrying into a movie theatre brings about death and mayhem! Just ask Doofus Feinstein.

Great.

Nothing about Aurora changed my carrying habits.

I also scale up when going out among the masses.

I always carry into movie theaters. I usually carry an Asp as well as pepper spray and a flashlight in addition to a spar mag. I don't see any reason to not carry in a theater.

I don't believe it either. I'll be watching at 11:00 to see the story.

IMO, the fact you felt you have to "upgrade" to higher capacity simply because you were going to a movie says yes.

I don't know...How bout bringin a 4 shot AT rocket launcher like Rae Dawn Chong did in the movie COMMANDO w/Aw-nold....??

Shockingly, Utah passed legislation criminalizing ccw in movie theaters. So in all Utah movie theaters are restricted in the same manner as federal buildings an court houses. My stance: always carry never tell.

So what you just stated on a public forum is you are now a non-law abiding criminal?

 

[Mike1956]

Great.

Me, either. My biggest changes came with Carson City, and a shoot-out here involving a deputy, Brandon Moore.

No, he stated his carry habits, but didn't say he goes to movies... you made that leap.

I do not go anywhere armed that I would not go unarmed.

A corollary is that I will not go anywhere with extra armaments if I will not go there will my every day carry.

So, perhaps you need to upgrade your every day carry to be comfortable. Otherwise I must say your decision does not make sense to me - if you feel you must have "extra firepower" to feel safe to attend a venue, why on earth would you go there?

No, not paranoid. Rationally and reasonably circumspect.

Rhetorical question for everyone: What makes you think a theatre is any more or less susceptible to an armed violent felon walking in? It's no different than a restaurant, the busy corner at lunch hour, the mall or anywhere else. And with the recent flamboyant murder spree the Aurora orange-head committed, it's entirely possible for there to be some stewing copycats out there.

Anytime, anywhere. Be armed. Be safe.

That is pretty ridiculous. As if a theatre is any safer than any other publicly-accessible venue, as if there is anything else protecting a person there if stripped of the ability to remain armed. Dumb x2.

My point exactly.
