Re: Texting in theater sparks fatal shooting
His world is shattered!!!??? By his own stupid hand. The other families world is shattered too! A little girl will never hear her fathers voice again or be held in his strong embrace. A wife will have to pick up the pieces and move on as best she can without the love of her life. Now he may be exonerated, but if he had shut his mouth and moved seats or just lived with life's little annoyances everyone would have gone home that night.

Even if he was 100% justified he looks like an old man that went bat-poop crazy over nothing and someone died.
Side note: I have had the strangest things happen to me in theaters (prob why I go so little now). Once I was at a children's movie with my siblings (I was maybe 18) my youngest brother (11 at the time) tripped over a step coming back to his seat (spilled his drink on the stair) and the person in the row in front of us threatened him and me with force (said he was going to beat our ***) if he did not be quiet (this man was 40+ years old). Now he had not been loud, beyond a whomp (as he fell)--and a short ow as I help him back to his seat. This man was unhinged. My spidey senses went off and I took out my umbrella and put myself between the unhinged man and my brother. Today we would have left the theater immediately.
If you choose to be armed it is part of your responsibility to avoid confrontation if possible. This includes not instigating a confrontation and being as passive as possible in the situation. That is training all CHL holders get.....I wonder if LEO's get that same training. Perhaps one can weigh in.
