I'm surprised shadowcat hasn't posted this article yet. Maybe I should rethink going to the club tomorrow afternoon. Do dancers tend to be scarce or less frisky shortly after an incident like this or do shootings tend to have no effect on dancers?

One man was hurt in a nightclub shooting early Sunday morning.

The shooting happened at Follies just before 4 a.m.

One man was shot in the upper body, but police told Channel 2 Action News that those injuries are not life-threatening.

Police were questioning people who were at the club with Channel 2 arrived on the scene, but police have not made any arrests at this point.

I was just at Follies today from 2PM til 7PM and heard nothing about it until 7PM when my buddy, who just drove in from Columbia SC told me. He heard about it over there. It was business as usual at the club.

All these "incidents" are certainly helping to make a case for VERY strict Gun Control laws IMO!

Alucard, who do gun control laws affect? The people who go through proper channels to undergo background checks and registration, or drunken rednecks and idiot thugs who use them for intimidation and robbery?

You know it's possible to go into the ghetto and buy a gun, right? Or a horse auction. You pay cash and show no ID. Gun control laws aren't going to affect people who buy guns like that to use them like the moron in the OP.

Thanks fetish. If there was a like button, or a way to add to your rep, I'd do it.

I certainly agree with fetish_dancer about gun control.

What could show up is regulations about when strip clubs close. 11:00pm - times over, time to go.

Thugs should know that I'm not dangerous but my Glock is.

I wonder when legislation is going to start limiting the strip club hours to only staying open until 11pm or midnight to "reduce crime"

I'd be all for closing a club at 12am, because that *would* affect idiot motherfuckers like the one in the OP.

That would only be moving the shootings up two hours earlier.

@Shadowcat: Maybe. Maybe if we had bouncers carry guns (after undergoing all the necessary paperwork and whatnot, of course) these things would be less liable to happen.
@gatorfan: LMAO
