"The Aurora theater where the Batman shooting occurred also had a gun-free policy," Manley says. "But these policies don't disarm criminals, they disarm law-abiding citizens who see the sign and respect the law and say, 'I'm not going to carry in this place because the law doesn't allow it.'"

What I've been saying all along.

ive been in establishments with gun free policies. i just made sure mine was well hidden. wondering though, in aurora, or any movie theatre, as dark as it is, even once you turn lights on. will be hard to acquire a target. nearly impossible with lights off

... dark ... laser sight .. or xenon flash cobra sight ... but the xenon... i might have read that in a cyberpunk novel?

Xenon? Ppft.

This is where it's at...

100yds out of a compact flashlight

mmm nice flashlights! ... was thinking of the xenon flash though as a little harder to pinpoint by the 'maniac in the theatre' .. you point and activate the flash .. it projects a 'laser-esque' aiming dot onto your target in rapid pulses .. say .5 sec flash for duration of 5 or 6 pulses .. enough for you to acquire and fire .. harder for the recipient to zero in on..

WW2 .. search lights looking for bombers ... escorting fighters would strafe the area the light originated from... just sayin 

If you in need of some light, I use Surefire. If in need of shooting in low light, Tritium sights or if on a rifle, a good holgraphic sight turned down. I had an EOtech with a pressure-switch controled Surefire mounted on my service rifle and there was little more I could ask for. For longer ranged engagements the reticle is a little off but thats what a ACOG is for

I think I am forgetting one or 2... oh well close enough.

Now where's FrankieG to come make some silly comment.

Walking into a dark room, or movie theater from the light would be damn impossible to hit the wall.  But sitting in a dark room with the light from the projector, i feel i would have no problem finding my target even with iron sights.  So the only flash they would see would be from my muzzle. 

Added another wheel gun to my collection. The .44 made me go nuts for a revolver...even though I've shot many I've never owned one.

Well, now I own two. Taurus needs to hurry up and get my .44 back.

Rossi R971 4" .357 magnum with an adjustable target sight:

Got my Taurus back this morning...it just showed up without warning. Luckily it required the signature of a 21+ person.

Interestingly enough, the work order states they replaced the barrel because it was damaged and that the yoke was also adjusted.

I'm not sure if they replaced it because it got damaged from shooting it like it was, or if it was already damaged, OR if they just damage stuff out that's been mis-manufactured.

Hopefully the gun will be trouble free from now on, but my hopes aren't really high...it seems like it wants to bind a bit occasionally. Haven't shot it yet so...no way to know for sure just yet.

If it is still not repaired I'm just going to request a new one.

Well the .44 is functioning flawlessly now!

The Rossi is also doing good. 50rds of 110gr Winchester JHP's and 75rds of Remington 125gr .38spl +Ps without error.

Who needs a $800+ S&W or Ruger revolver...my $200 Rossi shoots like a dream.

but in a dark theater though, find where to aim the laser will be an issue. most places with anti gun policies in place, usually dont have metal detectors to find the guns. so hide em

I always carry a flashlight. I keep a fenix ld01 on my key chain at a minimum and carry a TK11 when circumstances or attire permit it.

ALSO LOOKING FOR MORE GUNS!!!! POSSIBLE TRADIGN GUNS ALSO

I went back to the range yesterday to finish off some rounds I had leftover and to play with my 10/22 and some quiet ammo.

I had the pleasure of running into a group of...how do you say...less-than-gun-savvy people. And, what I mean by that is there was a group of wannabe thugs with a couple Glock 9mm's and some Taurus (think it was an 809, couldn't really tell). They came in with those ridiculous 33rd magazines and just started wasting ammo. Between the 4 of them they must have burned through a thousand rounds before they were through.

I've never seen such horrible shooting in my life. I've seen first time women shooters shoot better than these geniuses. There was the inevitable "sideways gangsta hold" many times over, rapid firing and hitting absolutely nothing but the ground, and general lack of safety and consideration for other people. Did I mention they didn't even have hearing protection? Unfortunately I had gone through all my .44 rounds before they showed up - I was in the lane right next to them - I think a cylinder full of .44's would've run them off. Granted, it's an outdoor range, but still. I eventually moved to the other side of the range because I was concerned for my own safety.

It's a wonder that people like this manage to kill someone with a gun - the marksmanship skills, or lack thereof, would lead me to believe they'd have trouble hitting anything smaller than a semi-truck.

Ive seen this too,

Love it when a group of gueedos show up to a range, bunch of fools from NJ with the hats all caddywhompus, and designer shades.  They show up with a glock (cuz thats all NJ is permitted to sell) or two and no clue how to hold, handle, load, aim and in general use the weapon.  Is a weapon in a retards hand still a weapon? 

I alwasy pack up when they show up.  I have no interrest being shot by accident.
