Man, 63, arrested after gun fires in movie theater

     Lessons learned:  Always carry your pistol in a holster,
preferably attached to your belt, not in your pocket.  Don't
use Derringers that don't have a trigger guard.  Don't use
guns that can't pass a drop test.
     The arrest was correct.  The above acts of stupidity
constitute reckless disregard for others.  Ignorance is no
excuse.  With rights come responsibilities.  The right
to keep and bear arms entails the responsibility to get
training to keep and bear arms competently.
     Spread the word.  Get expert training.  Teach your
friends and relatives.

Cheers,
Jon
