The Lafayette, Louisiana, Grand Theatre–site of the tragic July 23 attack in which a gunman killed two, wounded at least seven others, then took his own life–is a gun free zone.
The movie theater chain does not even allow law-abiding citizens with concealed carry permits to carry for self-defense.
According to the “Conduct Policy” for all Grand Theatre locations, the “possession of firearms or weapons of any kind” are completely banned and the ban applies regardless of whether the firearm or weapon is carried “openly or concealed, with or without a permit.” |

| I can't see how none of the Sheeple can really see what is going on. All these shootings and beheadings are nothing but A hoax put on by the Government to further their Gun Control Agenda and to take away more of are rights. Nothing like this ever happened before 9-11. Forget what the Government Controlled Cooperate Controlled Media tells you Just use some common sense. I remember during the cold war how they would tell you the Russian Government controls everything the people see and hear. I bet it wasn't any worse then what are own Government is doing to We The People Now |

| The one "fact" established by this and the Aurora, CO "mass shooting" is both venues were "Gun Free Zones", per management choice. But the 'elephant in the room' is this alleged "drifter" could as easily have accomplished his tasks with an IED. As seen in Boston, MA such a device has both short and long term impact. With the increasing balkanization of america - exacerbated by domestic terrorists and political opportunists and demagogues, we can look forward to more such events at "soft target" venues. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
