French police have arrested a man carrying two guns at an entrance to a hotel at Disneyland Paris.

The man, reportedly aged 28 and not known to security services, was also discovered with a copy of the Koran and a box of ammunition, police said.

He was stopped by security teams while entering the hotel at the much-visited theme park.

France remains in a state of emergency following the deadly Islamist attacks in Paris in November last year.

Gunman arrested at Disneyland Paris after trying to get into hotel with two automatic weapons

Anti-terrorist officers were today interviewing a man found with two automatic weapons at Disneyland Paris.

The 28-year-old, who has not been named, was initially stopped by security guards as he tried to get into the New York hotel at the theme park.

X-rays then revealed that he had the two guns in his rucksack, together with a box of 20 bullets and a small copy of the Koran translated into French.

He was with a woman, either his wife or girlfriend, who is thought to have escaped just as she was about to be seized by security guards.

She has now been arrested and is talking to police.

Another couple?

[smirkymonkey]

25. That could have been a disaster.

Glad he was caught.

[valerief]

15. I wonder if guns are allowed in Disneyland LA or Disneyworld Orlando. nt

[christx30]

16. The Disneyland policies:

Items not permitted include, but are not limited to, the following:


•Weapons of any kind or object that appear to be weapons (toy guns, toy blasters, squirt guns, etc.)
•Self-defense equipment (e.g., pepper spray, mace, stun guns)
•Restraining devices (e.g., handcuffs, zip ties) or any suspicious items (e.g., box cutters, razor blades, duct tape, wire)
•Items that may be disruptive (e.g. laser pointers, slingshots, stink bombs, air horns)
•Cremated remains (e.g., urns, vases, boxes)

17. That's good! I thought with Disneyworld being in Florida the rules might be ammosexually insane. nt

[hack89]

19. Every state respects the right of private property owners to limit guns. nt

[christx30]

20. Yep, that's right.

Open carry is legal in Texas. But anyone can put up a sign saying that it's not allowed on their property. My mom refuses to eat or shop at any place that won't put up the signs. I told her my favorite pizza place has one. Guess where she had lunch that day.

[brooklynite]

22. I understand why he'd do that...

...you need a second gun in case someone robs you of the first one...

[uppityperson]

23. Glad they caught him, hope it leads to more info.

[MariaThinks]

26. i think it's more than just a few radicals in islam.

[MariaThinks]

27. have we had enough of the only a handful of radical muslims out there yet?

how many people need to be massacred by radical muslims before we admit this problem is not going away and we can't keep dismissing the problem as small?

[crim son]

30. I agree that the problem may be bigger than a lot of people are willing to admit, like

our gun problem is bigger than people are willing to admit. The gun problem aside, do you have any suggestions with respect to dealing with the problem of religious radicals?

[christx30]

33. Hate speech is illegal in a lot of these countries

already. Expand the penalties to include deportation. Get a report that people at a mosque are saying XYZ, get a recording of it, and you boot them from the country. Those guys holding the "behead those that insult Islam" signs get put on planes or ships or catapults or whatever the hell is around. No appeals. The offender has the option of leaving his non-offending family behind, or taking them with him.
The person that just decides to shoot up a Disneyland one day are rare. There is usually some kind of "Europe your 9/11 will come" kind of speech ahead of time.
There's no reason that kind of crap should be tolerated.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

29. I'm still trying to figure out how the first half of the thread was a rant about dumb Americans

Oh wait, it's DU.

Dodge and deflect from the protected.
