Shooting while intoxicated.

...According to the Associated Press, (click here) police have arrested a man “who told authorities he accidentally shot and injured a woman in a Washington state movie theater.”
Investigators said that the two parties didn’t know each other, but the man seemed to be intoxicated as he fumbled with a gun at the Renton Regal Cinemas.
Police have said that the man returned to his home after the shooting and called 911 himself, claiming that “he had dropped his gun and the shooting was accidental.
A spokesperson for the Harborview Medical Center told the AP that the woman’s condition is no longer critical and is expected to recover.

I suppose people have to consider the kind of crowd a movie would attract to protect against accidental shootings. The right wing pandering "13 Hours" is going to have an audience of gun enthusiasts having concealed carry. Who needs it? There is a bit of a culture that follows these guys. Why expose yourself to this potential to die? The 'about town' evening out has to be qualified by certain standards to avoid this mess.
