Do you carry a jack in your car? Do you fear a flat tire? Certainly you could lighten you car for better MPG's with out the extra weight!
I am not sure what sex you are, but if you are male could you be a rapist? if you are male you are equipted.. I could make an annology the other way around but won't..
But as i said yes, I have spoken with a great many gun men over years and not as much with gun women, and none of them from Shining Sea to Shining Sea ever said they carried because they were paranoid.
I have been in 40 states armed all one trip, and i talked with people on that trip as well in open carry.
You on the other hand seem to be paranoid.
maybe I sence this because your car is having troubles running and you have not the first clue of what's wrong... Me I am a mechanic and so I am never scared of any breakdowns or anything else.. I simply have the tools I need with me at all times.
Is English your second language? Honestly. Not trying to be rude. The only thing I have gathered from the above is:
1) You say you have spoken to many gun owners but my question was all. So then the answer is no and you don't know if anyone who carries is paranoid. Thanks for playing.
2) Your car analogy is ridiculous but yes I have a jack and spare tire in my car and removing them would do almost nothing to change the MPG.
3) I have no clue what the 4th sentence is about.
4) The last paragraph really makes no sense. Do you know anyone who can translate Mac_Muz for me?
LMAO Because someone goes to the snack bar you're going to hit him? "That'll teach you to snack between meals." I don't know whats dumber, doing that or attacking someone with your fists while that person has a gun.
If he'd have stood up for ANY reason while packing in that theater, even to scratch his ass, I'd have laid him out.
I read the theater was In a open carry county, and you read it is not.... Which of us is correct?
It is an open county BUT read in red. Own home or place of business. Unless he lived in the theater or owned it he was breaking the law.

Section 38-237(b)(1) of Thornton's Municipal Code, under which Mapes was booked, reads: "It shall be unlawful for any person to knowingly possess on or about the person or within such person's immediate reach any dangerous weapon."
Mapes has lived in the area for nine years and said that he's seen movies in the theater before when he's carried a handgun both concealed and openly visible. He is simply practicing the right to bear arms, he said. He added that he has held a concealed carry permit issued by the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office since 2003, although the Thornton movie theater doesn't reside in Arapahoe County, so the permit doesn't help his case.Thornton is an open-carry municipality, meaning that there are specific exceptions to the above section of the Municipal Code. In certain limited instances, such as a "person's own dwelling or place of business," a person can lawfully carry a weapon so long as it is visible. Arapahoe County, on the other hand, more permissively allows for concealed carry.

This law reads as bad as my funky Yankee gramar.... Who can't open carry in their home or own business?
I didn't make a study of the Colorado laws, but now it seems worse that I thought.
State law, county law, and municipal law.... No doubt created by gun grabbers, so the law is so twisted no one can understand it, and with so many loop holes any Judge can convict anyone for nothing.
I bet all these laws conflict with one another....

yeah you are going to tell me you will lay out an armed man because he did nothing more than budge an inch? I don't think so but you are either Kramer with a new name or you need to get together with him for kung fool, I can jump faster than a speeding train and fly faster than a bullet.
Let's see here. Private businesses can decide that they want no guns on their premises and it's not taking away rights. The government is not doing anything. It's a private business. Sucks, but after what happened, it's understandable that theaters are being overly cautious.
As far as him being arrested, the statements from the article flip-flop as to what the actual law is.
We don't have enough info to determine if he broke the law.... read the artical, and if you understand Colorado law permtis by country???? Please explain it to me.
I have never heard of permits by county and that was for CCW carry and the movie theater is in some open carry only?? county????
I don't understand any of that mess...
Wo do have information - read the article again. The county that the movie theater is in DOES NOT ALLOW OPEN CARRY, except in very specific circumstances like your home or the business that you own.
The fact that you don't understand does not make it any less true or make the acts of the man in question any more legal.
