Be careful in thunder alley..... Shooting

[Hump66]

That sucks that your kid had to be there. I'm sure others kids were there too. I hope it doesn't discourage him/them from wanting to continue to go to what should be a great time for the family.

Either way, if others were allowed to legally carry, they might have been able to stop the shooter before he injured so many, or others may have been shot because of the panic in such a crowd, if those armed chose to fire at the bad guy.

Since it was outside the arena, you are legal to carry.

That's b.s. I saw two GUYS hit, one bad. I didn't see 8, but there were people running that could have had flesh wounds. I didn't see any women hit, although I have heard there were some. I also heard 8 shots, so hit percentage was 100%!

Probably not hard to do in a large crowd.

13 shots can be heard

It seems like a very unlikely place to "legally" carry. The bars in Bricktown's primary business is alcohol related, no carry allowed. The game itself is a public sporting event, so no carry allowed. How does the parking lot of a public sporting event rate as far as CCW ?

I understand that.

In context, I was saying, if others were allowed to legally carry (at the sporting event), ...they would have had their guns outside where the shooting happened.

If you cannot carry into a sporting event, it is kind of hard to have your weapon when you leave the event, and you are in a big crowd, where you might need it.

The guys hit may not have been the targets; you know how poorly the thug morons shoot. Everyone's at risk other than the intended victims.

I completely agree with you. I was looking at it as if you were just going to Thunder Alley but not inside to the game, you would be able to carry.

I'll be damned! I guess I was yelling for my son to get down and missed a few!!!! I seriously thought I heard 7-8 shots.........

I thought I counted 14 in the video... 13+1?

Is the arena private or public property? Who handles security inside? Outside? What was the level of OKC police presence? Did they have mounted patrols?
