Theatre shooting in Lafayette, LA

[dennishoddy]

I'm a little confused on things here. I've seen one article that said he "legally purchased" the gun from a pawn shop, yet I've seen several articles that mentioned an involuntary commitment for mental health, as well as an arson arrest and a DV arrest (that later got dropped?). I thought an involuntary commitment put no on the no-buy list? Curious to hear more about that.

I think his family put him in the mental hospital, rather than being sent by a judge.

Yes, you have to be adjudicated mentally defective.

Not trying to make light of the situation but I guess the shooter didn't see the "no guns allowed". Hope these other businesses see that their feeble attempts to keep their customers "safe" is doing just the opposite but sadly that will not be reported on.

Many businesses are required by their insurance company to post a gun buster sign for liability. They consider it liability management. What we need is a law that states if you post a property no guns allowed then the business owner / insurance company is liable for the safety of those on the property.

I don't know Harkins (Bricktown) official stance on firearms, but I've open carried into that theater 3 times, and it's been a non issue. I did not see any postings about weapons, so I assume they allow it.

He was involuntarily admitted, which Should have stopped him from buying, the paperwork was filed incorrectly, and wasnrt found by the search.
He was denied a CL back in 2006, I believe.
He lied on the form making it an illegal purchace

Glad to see it was a non-issue but they do have "no weapons" or may be a gun buster, i cant remember, posted by the ticket office. I have CCd in Harkins a couple of times anyway. We walk the canal several times a week so I will look again the next time we are down there. Like others have said, I do not go to the movies un-armed.

It must have been really small. Because I looked for one, before entering. Then again, I only checked the doors.

It's really just a waste of paper anyway [emoji50]

Also my choice when going to the Harkins when I lived in OKC. It's now my choice when going to AMC Southroads here in Tulsa. Concealed means nobody has to get their shorts in a knot.
