That brings me to my next point. I wonder why security hasn't been ramped up in places like movie theatres, hotels, etc. Must be an issue with money? [Reply]
Just talked to one of my friends saying the girl next to her got shot and was bleeding. And they were hiding in someone apt with 12 other people and she is lucky to be alive. [Reply]

How many problems have hotels had like this in the past?

Its legal to open carry guns in Nevada. Conceal weapons without a permit. There are basically no rules on owning any type of gun or carrying them around except for automatic weapons in Nevada. [Reply]

I'm not sure if it is an issue with money. I think it's more an issue with classic American "that won't happen to me" thinking. I mean, the fact that there's not an armed guard(at $14-$15 per hour, relatively minimal)at every school in America is baffling. We've had multiple school age children get blown away while playing at school and anyone could walk into almost any school this very day and go tee off on some 6 year olds. Then hysteria, media, outrage, memorials....next week "back to school kids!" with maybe an officer at that school moving forward. For whatever reason, as a society we just don't want to emphasize security as a top priority. Except kind of at the airport and at some sporting events [Reply]

I think this is a good explanation. For me personally, I won't go to a movie in the afternoon or night...only the morning when people not many people are there.
After the Colorado incident, I get anxiety being in big crowds like that with no quick way out such as a movie theatre.
You'd think they'd take the lead and market a safe approach. I would be happy to pay 2-3 more dollars if it meant that the theater had a metal detector in use. [Reply]

I hope you don't swim in the ocean, fly in airliners, or even drive in a car.
The odds are tiny that you will end up in any of these gunmen situations. It's great to have sharp situational awareness, but please don't live in fear. [Reply]
