Shock Revelation: City of Aurora, Colorado Would Have Arrested Anyone Who Stopped the Batman Massacre With a Concealed Weapon ( http://lewrockwell.com/adams-m/adams-m22.1.html)

by Mike Adams

Two days ago I asked the commonsense question, "Why didn't anyone fight back against James Holmes, the shooter who shot so many people in the Batman movie theater?"

Now the answer has become clear: Because Aurora, Colorado already has strict gun control laws on the books that make it:

Illegal to carry a concealed weapon, even if you're a law-abiding citizen.
Illegal to discharge a firearm in public unless you are a peace officer.
Thus, any person who would have shot James Holmes and stopped the massacre would, themselves, have been arrested as a criminal!

Innacurate article but it does come from Natural News which is not exactly a reliable source in the first place. It is legal to carry guns (with permit) and it is legal to defend yourself.

Aurura is located in three counties- Arapahoe, Douglas, and Adams counties. They all allow concealed weapons with permits. Permits are not required to own guns- just for concealed carry. And shooting in self defense is not illegal.

Overzealous lawyers created this type of unhealthy environment which discourages decisive action.
