Exactly if someone in the theater pulled out a gun and shot the gunman after he had shot one or two people the thing in Colorado would have probably not received any news coverage.

Well that is debatable. As other posters have pointed out, having a handgun in a battle with a guy wearing body armor and carrying long arms might not have changed anything. What isn't debatable is that Colorado is a shall issue state with almost no restrictions on open carry, yet no one else in that theater chose to carry a gun.
I thought the theater itself had restrictions?

Colorado law saws that those restrictions are illegal and can not be enforced. The only exceptions are places where all people must pass through metal detectors such as court houses.

Yeah, but who is going to stand outside the theater at midnight and argue that with them when you just want to go see a movie? Maybe someone should. Just for that reason.

How would anyone know if you are carrying concealed?

Which goes back to my original point, that even though they could have, no one else in the theater chose to carry a weapon.

People keep acting like body armor makes you invincible. Every time I've seen someone get shot testing a vest they act like they are going to ####ing die. :shrug:
