SALINA, Ks. - It happened inside a movie theatre at Central Mall during a showing Friday night.

Police say the shooting was accidental.

"At first what popped into my mind was that someone popped a bag of candy or something and goofing off or something," said Heather Myers, who was inside the theatre when the shooting happened.

Then seconds later, a man sitting three rows behind Heather and her husband Domenic, yells out for help.

"This guy started shouting 'Oh my God, I just shot myself! I just got my concealed and carry,' and then everybody jumped up and that's when we heard call 9-11.

According to Salina police, the man accidentally shot himself once in the leg.

"You could feel the concussion of the shot," Domenic said. "I mean you know being in a movie theatre it's a surreal situation, and I don't believe anybody really expects it to be a gunshot."

"As soon as it registered and I realized it was a gun, it scared me," Heather said.

The couple said they support the state's current law which went into effect July 1, allowing gun owners to conceal and carry without requiring any training or having a permit.

"I believe in protecting yourself, but it is scary knowing they're in public places," Heather said. "I feel absolutely terrible for the gentleman that shot himself, but the first thing I thought of was thank God he didn't shoot anybody else."

We went to the theatre where this happened, and while the theatre itself didn't have signs posted, the mall where it's located had signs on the doors prohibiting guns from being taken inside.

The lady finds it scary but still thinks its okay to have a gun in public and not know how to use it. Conservatives have done well.

Shit like this is more why gun free zones should be a thing. They won't stop someone from entering and killing people but they just might prevent some law-abiding jackass from accidentally popping you through the back of your theater seat.

That's a terrifying thought. For for fucking real though, it should be common place like a no-smoking sign; expectations should be that accidents happen.

Yeah that shit is nuts. Even if you support concealed carry, do you really want a bunch of turds who don't know which end the bullets come out of handling weapons around you?

That is fucking ridiculous no matter where you stand in the debate. I'm so confused, I didn't even know that was a thing.
 
What an earth. Madness. And would he do time if he shot an innocent instead?

Am confused over this. You really gotta live in a messed up place to bring guns into a cinema to feel safe.

America has to be the only "advanced" nation where this is so.
 
so now you can buy a gun at a gun show with no waiting period, background checks, or any other restrictions, and concealed carry it

apparently you can take it into gun-free zones and shoot yourself without getting arrested too

what a fucking country we live in

I need a gun because of the law that says everyone else has a gun. It doesn't make sense to strip everyone of the right to shoot themselves because then I would have to go about my life and feel safe everywhere.
 
If conceal and carry is going to be a thing, there need to be more places that ban guns. Right now I believe it's limited to bars and government property, but I feel like a mall or movie theater should be included.
 
After concealed carry passed in WI the gun counter at the sporting goods store I was at looked like a concert was playing, just a sea of people mad dashing like it was a stack of PS4's on black friday. Not a fan of not needing training or hands on experience to obtain a permit.
 
So in America some idiot standing or sitting beside you could be be firing his gun accidentally at any moment. Good to know.
 
concealed carry with no permit and no training? did i read that right?
That is unbelievable, what is so restrictive about having proper training and checks against anyone wanting a gun? gun control doesn't mean banning, it means making sure idiots who don't injury other and themselves get allowed to wander around with loaded weapons!

America you jumped the shark a long time ago, right now you are in orbit on a pogo stick wearing a shark costume to jump sharks

Everyone is this story is a moron. The guy that shot himself, the couple that thinks it's totally cool because "mah rights!", and the state of Kansas for passing the law.

Arming our upstanding citizens is the only way to prevent any more movie theater shootings, after all.
