It's possible. That is if people are not jumping over the seats and running in front of you trying to get away._____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 2,397 #9 July 23, 2012 >butter than cowering in a corner like a sheep awaiting slaughter.... Well, to be fair, there are probably options between shooting a paintball gun loaded with tear gas and "cowering in a corner like a sheep awaiting slaughter."

davjohns 1 #14 July 24, 2012 Yup. No sweat.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #15 July 24, 2012 Quote Quote A movie theater is not completely dark. Right. Flickering light will make things so much easier. My every day carry pistol (1911) has a light on it (TLR) and when I go to the movies I put one of my Surefire tactical lights in my pocket on my "weak" side. Besides being super handy if someone in your party drops their cell phone or keys in the dark, you never know what will happen out here. A couple of .45 slugs to the chest, even with soft armor on, will tend to get someone to stop firing and give you the gap you need to gain time, distance and cover.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Are you saying that you could use sound isolation to hit the shooter in a theater during a movie? I'm calling BS. Why is it so difficult for people to admit that a gun or few in the audience just wouldn't have likely made a difference? The shooter was well prepared and successfully implemented a surprise, incapacitate, and overwhelm strategy. It's unlikely that a theater crowded with panicking people would have provided many opportunities clear shots, and the tear gas made it unlikely any such opportunity could be successfully utilized. It sounds like an example of the Dunning–Kruger effect.Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
