The cop who was shot and killed today was a fully trained police officer with a firearm and he still got shot dead. Having a firearm doesn't mean you'll be protected, able to get the first shot off, or that you'll even see it coming.
I love the gun nuts who say "Well, if there was someone in the theatre it would have ended different". No, not really. Lots of people would have died. Anyone who thinks the average armed civilian is going go from eating popcorn to taking on an unknown amount of shooters in a dark movie watches WAY too much fucking TV>

Personal weapons are no guarantee against any and all crime and they sure as hell don't work so well in movie theaters in the face of tear gas firing, armor wearing, psychos with automatic weapons.
But they do come in quite handy when local punks seek to violate your personal castle rights.
As has happened to two others on my street.
Never been there myself, but I'd rather like to keep it that way
