I respectfully disagree. When I was younger I never really thought about checking such things. However, as I got older, and especially as we began having more mass shootings, I do a cursory check of my surroundings when I go into any facility now. Be it a restaurant, motel, concert arena, or movie theater. I'm not all that paranoid, but I figure I'm one step ahead if I already know which direction to go should I need to do so. It only takes a few minutes and it may save your life. I agree, all of those things should be 100% up to code, but, the fact is, that humans are fallible and screw up, therefore, I do a quick glance.
Edit: Again, I'm not laying blame to those living there or there for the concert, at their ages, I'd never thought it would happen either, but if anything can be learned from this, it would be to check your surroundings when you go somewhere. It may save your life.
You just stated that when you were young, you didn't do that. So even you have not always taken that responsibility. I'm the same way, sometimes I look for those things, sometimes I don't. I think it is safe to say that close to 100% of people do not evaluate stuff like that on a regular basis. Anybody who does that 100% of the time, probably is paranoid.
I'm not even sure how a person would go about figuring out where all the exits are in a crowded night spot. Since normally it is too dark to see, and too crowded to move around a lot. Simply knowing where you came in is not enough, if that exit gets blocked by fire. That's why we rely on the government to make sure that establishments are up to code. Unfortunately they failed in this case.
