If most of the people in the Aurora CO theater were carrying concealed weapons, what do you think would have happened in the Colorado massacre?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Just imagine a darkened theater with a bright screen. You would have a great shot at anyone in front of the screen but wouldn’t be able to tell it it was the shooter or another movie goer. I expect there would even be more panic, hundreds of shot fired, and possibly most of the people, including the unarmed, wounded or dead. It would have literally been a blood bath. Granted that the even, with only one shooter was horrific, with additional shooters the death and destruction would have been unspeakable. Anyone lucky enough to escape with their life would likely have a huge case of PTSD.
