    BOSTON -
    An arsenal of guns were seized from a Maine man over the weekend shortly after he saw "The Dark Knight Rises," Maine State Police said.

    A trooper stopped Timothy Courtois, 49, for doing 112 mph on the Maine Turnpike Sunday morning, police said. Motorists had reported seeing a speeding Mustang with its flashers on.
    Upon pulling him over, police found an assault rifle, four handguns and several boxes of ammunition, they said. Also found inside his car were recent news clippings of the mass shooting at the Colorado movie theater, police said.

    Ho-hum.......:confused:

    I was carrying at the Avengers movie. So what? Oh and this guy admitted to carrying at the Batman movie, so....ah...He didn't do ANYTHING there did he? BTW was he licensed in Maine to carry? Hmmmm. He didn't shoot anybody? I guess the only news here is the jerk was driving wrecklessly and "admitted" to planning to shoot his boss.

    Sooo...Tell me again the super relevant "Dark Knight Horrific Movie Theater Shooting" tie in here?

    I would venture to guess a few more people are CCW'ing at the movies now.

    I only wanted to shoot my boss, not the entire theater!

    I have been electing for my big boomstick and spare mag in the picket as opposed to my usual pocket-rocket. I think it's the responsible thing to do...

    The Dark Knight Rises was the first time I was armed during a cinematic adventure.

    My brother runs a firearms training company in Maine, and the day after the Aurora incident, his e-mail inbox was jammed full of messages of people who want the safety course necessary for a carry permit.

    I did notice my Ruger stock went up $1.65 (3.88%) yesterday while the DJIA slipped over 100 points.

    I've talked to several friends/ family members, who probably never would have even thought about it before, now saying they want to take a class and apply for a permit. I'm not saying every one of them SHOULD be carrying a gun... but it's a boost for 2nd amendment supporters!
