NC legislators are reportedly close to modifying CCW laws that if adopted would probably allow carry in places like theaters. Currently it's prohibited anywhere that charges admission. I've heard that it already has enough votes to pass but they tabled in unti Perdue leaves office because she promised to veto. It's not illegal to carry at chruch in NC - unless that particular church has posted signs at ALL entrances. I woutld think if the weapon was adequately concealed that even in prohibited places it coudl be carried without consequence.

Was shocked by the news of the Aurora, Colorado shootings, 70 people shot in a theater, around 14 dead.. Was likewise shocked back in 1999 by the Columbine massacre in Littleton, Colorado. Was thinking, '"well this gives the anti-gun people more 'ammo' for outlawing guns for everyone " And how about the Sihk Temple massacre and Virginia Tech?
Why couldn't someone fire back on the shooter at the theater in Aurora and stop him in his tracks? Then I was told of the smoke bomb, the confusion and hysteria and the fact that the shooter had on full body armor. So I was still confused about how anyone would have stopped him....

Today it hit me like a ton of bricks. I now understand why no one could stop these shooters in their tracks. Schools, churches and theaters are 'gun free zones' which means law-abiding citizens are not allowed to have guns there - so these people were left totally defenseless.

Guess you could say mass murderers are looking for places like that (GUN-FREE ZONES) where no one can shoot back. Have learned from this that if criminals knew we were all disarmed there would be many, many more break-ins, rapes and murders as well as an enlarged government that could force its will on the people so I question the push to force the small arms treaty on Americans. I question the true intent of gun grabbers. I question the true intent of pushing the small arms treaty on Americans.

Surely, it is not an attempt to protect us (U.S.)
