stangsn95gt Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 let's be honest though, what civilian would carry a gun to a movie theater that would be able to stand up the the guns the shooter had AND be able to counter all the armor the guy had? If I was about to be shot I would certainly try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murse Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 I would not have even thought about "I wonder if he's wearing a vest?" I would just be taking cover and returning fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiDe84 Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 I got some bad news today. I use to be a trainer at my last job (Teleperformance USA) and one of the more colorful and fun trainees that I taught has pass away from this shooting. It is really sad especially since he died keeping his girlfriend safe. He succeed however not without a cost. I have come across a lot of assholes in my short time here but I can certainly say he was a nice guy that was very laid back and mellow.

RedRocket1647545505 Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 let's be honest though, what civilian would carry a gun to a movie theater that would be able to stand up the the guns the shooter had AND be able to counter all the armor the guy had? Fire for effect. Even if you aren't penetrating the armor; getting bullets slung back at him is still going to fuck with him pretty hard. And who knows, you might get lucky and smack him in the face with one. :dumb: I'd certainly rather have one than not in that situation. And again, I bet it's no coincidence that this happened in Aurora vs. the rest of gun-loving Colorado. These people aren't that stupid. Especially this guy.

Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Had I been in the theater carrying my first instinct would be to get the hell out before returning fire on a guy. I'm not even going to start to think I would be calm enough to return fire in a panicked crowd. If put in the situation though where I was forced to fire I think shots hitting body armor would have an effect on the shooter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImUrOBGYN Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 You should also consider if during the panic you begin returning fire, you could very easily be mistaken as the original shooter by officers or another gun-toting citizen.

2pointslow Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Doesn't matter, apparently we protect viscious criminals with "protective custody" This, they are worried about his sentencing. Put his ass in general population, they will sentence him however they feel necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
