Everyone in Boulder is asking why this shooter would drive 20 miles from his home in Arvada in order to shoot up a grocery store in Boulder.

Without any other explanation the answer is obvious; Colorado is a shall issue conceal carry state, but Boulder is hyper-liberal and there are far fewer gun owners there than the surrounding counties. I believe he, just as the Aurora Theater shooter, chose that location knowing he would have a better chance at getting more victims before being stopped.

This isn't some huge revelation, but the news and politicians don't seem to get it, or just won't admit it publicly because it hurts their gun control narrative.

From 2019:

"Customers who shop at Colorado’s 148 King Soopers and City Market stores are being asked to “no longer openly carry firearms” into the stores, echoing a move made by retail rival Walmart a day earlier.

In its announcement, Cincinnati-based Kroger, the parent company of King Soopers and City Market, said its request applies to anybody who shops in its stores with the exception of law enforcement officers.

“Our No. 1 priority is the safety of our associates and customers,” Kelli McGannon, a King Soopers spokeswoman, said Wednesday."
