Lets roll!

It is a sheeple mentality. They don't think things can go bad. Things can, they do... You should be prepared for it.

One shouldn't have to worry about going to a burger joint or anything else and getting shot at, but it happens.

I'm not so sure anymore. More and more people are losing it and going postal.

I carry because you never know who you're going to run into. We have a road rage problem here locally. I've had an individual take a shot or two at me and I wasn't even the vehicle that cut him off.

I found out tho, that my old van makes for a fairly okay small weapons fire shield, and allows me to disable the offending vehicle easily. He spun out and ate some of that new metal cable they have to seperate lanes of traffic. I didn't stop to see if he was okay. I'd say by the crash, roll and cable slicing into the car, he probably wasn't doing so good.

He was along side me, and fired at me man...His first shot came into the cab and took out my passenger window! I hit the brakes and pulled a hard left, right into his car. As soon as I felt the hit, I mashed the gas and turned into it. Big block saved my hide; she pushed hard. :)

90 model 3/4 ton straight 6300bigblock, 410 gearing. no overdrive. Commercial grade, full cage. Built tough.

I know atleast two cars stopped behind us; I could see them in my mirrors..

I don't know why he fired at me, but I know it was damn close and I could have been killed that day. I'm not sorry I used my van as a weapon, I was acting in what I felt was self defense. Hit him, so he can't squeeze another round off. I couldn't run from him. He'd easily overtake me.

Please cite the relevant case law in Colorado.

You don't have license tags? It *is* hit and run. It wouldn't be the first time someone was charged for such.

Is there a point to your questions? You're asking rather dumb ones given the details I did provide...

You provided enough details to find you guilty of "Leaving The Scene...". I wondered if you were charged. You didn't say anything about that "detail".

Didn't have it with me that day. Couldn't have if I had.. too much chance of hitting another vehicle and/or another person. Not sure how many live rounds he had in the gun, didn't feel like finding out. One was a hit, I heard it crack off another, but it didn't hit me or my van.. I hope nobody else got hit.

If anything, I did everyone a favor on this.

NO it wasn't NO theater is "pitch dark" when a film is showing

The theater may have been full, but people were sitting down "Packed" is an exaggeration

And ? If nothing else that would make him perfectly identifiable Add to that the muzzle flashes when shots are fired, and anyone with a military or police background, or even self-defense training as a civilian, would have no problem identifying a target.

A red dot laser sight is not a flashlight to light up and identify a target. It's to identify point-of-aim ON a target

a) I'm ALWAYS in yellow in a public place b) Anyone who is in white is the one in need of some counseling

BULLSHIT Most people who carry, have something in 9 mm or bigger.

32 is rare enough to be the exception or the backup 380 is becoming more common, but the ammo has also been improved But not that even .22lr in the hands of a experienced shooter can be deadly. (I do most of my self-defense practice in .22lr, with only a few rounds fired in the heavier caliber to make sure my POA is the same.)

Think a bit more about this. The shooter was probably not standing surround (all around) by his victims He was standing alone where he could face his intended targets That would place him away from any potential bystanders. That means that shooting at him would only be a danger to people between them.

Then you need to read up on the excellent and quite complete study done by the Secret Service on the subject

I bet a few of the victims were thinking they wished they had a gun in hand.

I haven't heard of that but I did hear that one young man took a fatal bullet to save his girlfriend there. It really makes me sad to think this is almost becoming a common event and whereas before I had no opinion on gun control, I do now but I'll save it for a rainy day.

With economic depression, and O saying how you didn't build that business. I can see people being depressed. I'm depressed, but certainly not homicidal.

It seems to me that these mass shootings happen more often during Democrat administrations. Perhaps it's because the Democrat rulers damage the psyche of our society so badly that some people are pushed over the edge into hopeless rage. Thankfully it's only a very few it happens to, we have enough insane Democrats in this country. O_o

Sounds like time for gun owners to kick up a fuss, and never mind their request for us to shut up and be good sheeple?

Someone want to look up the boss's email, so we can all complain?

First, CHL holders are rule abiding. It bothers them tremendously to violate a rule or a law, so they seldom, if ever, do so.

Second, in many jurisdictions (I don't know about Colorado), crossing a proper "no guns" sign is a crime. A crime subject to fine, imprisonment, and, just as importantly, loss of the CHL permit. In Texas, it's a Class B misdemeanor and subjects the individual to a $2,000 fine and up to a year in jail. Plus loss of license.

Third, as to your question regarding "how would they know?" There are a lot of answers. They'd know if you took out your piece and shot the perp. They'd know if you were interviewed as a witness. They'd know if you were a victim and carried out on a stretcher. They'd know if you inadvertently displayed your weapon. They'd know if you had an accidental discharge. And many, many more.

If someone is shooting a me, you can damn well bet I'm leaving the scene!
