Shooting at movie theater on Columbus Blvd

[JIDinPhilly]

My gf and I were going to go see that movie at that time at that theater, but we didn't have enough time to get there. We were there on Christmas eve to see a movie when an incident almost occurred. We were two of the ten people in the theater for a late movie when 2 guys were talking siht to one another a couple of rows infront of us. Then one guy suddenly got up and walked out of the theater. My first thought was that he got up to go get a gun from his car, but he never came back. I was CC'ing and a lot of different scenarios were running through my head. What if this guy comes in and starts blasting? Do I pull to protect my gf and I?
Then a shooting happens at the same movie theater and movie that we were supposed to go to tonight. Crazy.

Typical. I really don't understand the whole "I'll settle this ARGUMENT with a gun" mentality. Thankfully. Just another reason the only time I go into the city is for a Phils or Flyers game. And even that is rare.

Glad the two of you were "running late"

Probably not, but if he did, the media would spin it as 'legallly licensed gun owner shoots family man for talking in the movies'.

Since they are slapping him with a weapons charge I would say he did have one.

Huh...I read that there was a weapons charge and came to the exact opposite conclusion that he did NOT have an LTCF.
