I thought about this scenario. You have a dark movie theater; some guy comes in shooting or causing mayhem.
Here's the hypothetical: let's say CCW is allowed and you have say three CCWs that "respond" to this crazy person. All three pull their weapons, but not knowing who each other is and with the confusion not even sure at that point who the real bad guy is, may mistake an innocent CCW and shoot him instead. Or police arrive and don't know who the crazy guy is and mistake CCWs instead. That's the "scary part" on top of the scary part! Not saying we shouldn't have the right to CCW in theaters, but that is thought provoking. How would we respond?
Perhaps, take cover at first, observe if possible, then should you have any wits about you still at that point, take the perp out. Easy to say from my armchair. Interesting to think about.
Glad the perp won't waste tax payer money in this case.
