I'll pass that statement to my two military friends that were at that theater last night and direct them your way. And for those of you whining about 'if they had guns they could have shot back', this guy used a GAS CANISTER and FULL TACTICAL GEAR when he entered the theater and anyone with a conceal and carry permit that is in their right mind would not pull their gun and fire into a DARK SMOKEY ROOM of civilians at a movie theater. You guys need need serious reality check.

The idea behind CCW is for protection of myself and family - so we can get to safety. It isnt meant for a hero move were we save the day. Most times saving the day doesnt happen and the hero ends up dead.
The way a CCW would of worked is if the guy was walking the isles like he says and a CCW holder was laying on the floor and had a good close shot.
Anyone can do this sort of crime - even if all guns were banned right now it would take many many years before criminals or crazy people couldnt get them.
I personally would of had my weapon in my pocket with the ability to pull it had the shooter come in front of me or my family running out.
Even with a bullet proof jacket 4-5 shots in the chest would stop him for a while.
Remember CCW can also get you killed in this sort of enviroment. Police or citizens seeing you holding a pistol while this is going on makes them think you are the gunman.
