Greenwood mall shooting

[AJMD429]

If the owners of the mall had THEIR way, the killer would have not been interfered with, because the owners of the mall have a "no weapons" policy, which insists that law-abiding types be unarmed, thus leaving ONLY the criminals who don't obey mall-rules (or, laws against murder) armed.

Anyone wanna bet whether or not the mall owners reconsider and repeal their "no weapons" policy....

I believe it's legal. But he can be trespassed.

He can't be trespassed unless they asked him to leave. No one asked the hero before hand to leave so you can't have trespassing after the fact.

4 wounded, 1 fatally in shooting at Beech Grove's Don Challis Park

A violent day in central Indiana turned worse when gunfire opened at Don Challis Park in Beech Grove.

Maybe he should instead be upset with the lack of accountability for criminals, the lack of mental health care, the ineffectiveness of GFZ's and the garbage spewed by Left. Not to mention the propensity to blame inanimate objects for tragedies like this instead of the people committing the crimes.

I open carry in the Mall all the time. I've never been asked to leave. Even the "Security" guards on the Scooters don't bother with a side eye.

The length of the Food Court is at most 100 Yards. Good shooting my the kid!

My guess would be that, if anything, they’ll appeal to have the “gun laws strengthened” in Indiana. Some people never see an error in their logic only that if we had more rules/money/power their theories would finally work.

Greenwood Park Mall had policy against weapons ahead of Sunday shooting

The owners of a mall where a shooting took place Sunday had a policy in place making the location a “gun-free” zone.

I wonder if the Bad Guy With A Gun was aware he was violating mall policy.

Fox is also playing the GFZ story

The Circle-Jerk City FOX affiliate is as libtarded as the rest of them.

Understand. But your incite will be missed.

Uh... did you mean "insight?"

 

[Pepi]

You just watch. The 'GOOD GUY' will go through he|| on this

 

[chipbennett]

Little doubt Simon Properties will ban the 22 year old Good Guy from all Simon Properties for life. I've little doubt WTHR will interview mall management and ask them what they plan on doing about the Good Guy trespassing by carrying on their property, and why they haven't had him arrested for it yet. Forgive me for being pessimistic.

Gun Free Zones have enormous targets on them for Bad Guys with firearms to exploit, knowing there will be zero or near zero armed resistance.

Well, given how much journalists tend to suck at understanding Indiana firearms laws, I have no doubt that they would similarly suck at understanding Indiana trespassing laws.

Every "mass shooting" that happens anywhere else gets repeated front page coverage in our local leftist rag. One happens IN OUR OWN STATE but is stopped by an armed citizen, and it gets 6 sentences on page 2.

Imagine the surprise and outrage going through the perp's mind (right before the lead) - "Wait! I'm the only one supposed to have a gun here! It's not FAIR!"

 

[Yup!]

Seems to me the smart thing for the 'Good Samaritan' would be to re-holster after the event, quietly walk out and disappear. Then engage counsel to discuss the situation with the police. And stay out of the press as we can see they are spinning it that he should not have had a weapon at the mall.

What?

"...he should not have been carrying at all."

Allow me to translate: damnit, if only he'd been complying with the policy that the perpetrator wasn't compelled or constrained by, we'd have way more bloody shirts to wave to score political points.

Funny how "journalists" never challenge the property owners on the absurdity of "no guns" policies.

What?

A variation of SSS.

There's no such thing as a gun free zone.

Local lawmakers, leaders react to Greenwood Park Mall shooting

On Sunday, a shooter opened fire inside the food court at the Greenwood Park Mall killing at least three people.

We have lots of family who shop at #Greenwood Park Mall in Indiana. They are safe. But too many families tonight again lost a loved one because we are a country of unrestricted weaponry. We are failing every person’s right to be free from gun violence. #EndGunViolence

No way, that’s it? I’m getting the laser range finder out, you know, when the mall is back open after they’ve cleaned up the blood, and ranging that *****. I walked that tile for a year and a half, it sure as hell feels like 500 feet.

Looks like the general range within the food court is 100 feet. You can do the math on the other angles. From the North entrance here, to the League hats shop at the bottom is 480 feet.

 

[churchmouse]

Using a red dot? I can easily get out to 50 on mine (stress not included)

With a bit of practice 50 yds off hand open sights with most any carry is doable. Easily for some.
We used to beat on the steel set out at 50
At MCF&G. Once in a while factory ball would fall short of the target but SD rounds were reliable at 50.

 

[wtburnette]

22 years old, wonder if he can afford to replace his carry weapon that’s likely in a police evidence bag?

Perhaps INGO could organize something to help him out with that.

Heck, if I could present it to him in person and shake his hand, I have a gun with a holster I'd give him, along with 5 mags or so.

Swallwell is at worst a traiterous enemy of the people and at best a complete idiot.

I occasionally peruse the Indy subreddit and it is a complete embarrassment. Can't believe how left leaning this state is turning. And its not just Indy - the burbs have been turning dark blue over the past few decades as well.

My daughter and a granddaughter were there in the food court just 2 hours prior. If preliminary reports of the citizen responder engaging and then closing on the target are true, he really laid it on the line for his fellows. Thank you from your fellow citizens. With much respect.
