Simon continuing to send the message that their malls are a great place to go murder people if you're a crazy person.

 

[DragonGunner]

Sick liberal minds. They saw what happen, and bury their minds in ingnorance.

 

[cbhausen]

**** ‘em. If I wanna go in there with a gun, I’m doing it anyway. This is about a stupid as putting gun free zone signs in Times Square.

Make the business specifically liable if they have a policy of disarmament.

If you are going to insist a citizen is disarmed, you need to provide any equally effective level of security. Fail, the business is forfeit and the management who signed off on it are charged as accessories.

OK, Mr wet blanket again...

So a dumbass drops a big fat mag and spews bullets all over the floor, where there was an attempted mass shooting just months ago?

And we are mad at the mall for enforcing their long standing policy, with a relatively minor penalty?

Is there a community college course on how to use backpacks? I feel like someone in Greenwood should've signed up.

 

[Lodge]

I haven't been there in years. I haven't noticed any "mall shopping void" in my life. As long as Amazon doesn't institute a No Firearms policy for internet shopping I'm good.

I have no problem with idiots being banned from the mall, guns or no guns. Dropping a mag on the floor sending bullets everywhere, then picking up the mag and running to the same bathroom where the mall shooter emerged from recently? **** this idiot, he is no friend of responsible gun owners.

I asked for the whole story from someone who knows. I'd want them banned from my property as well.

For no other reason than carrying a PoS gun that not only can drop a mag unexpectedly, but said mag spontaneously disassembles on impact. Thats quality right there.

Can you ask you contact exactly what they were carrying? I'm curios. Sounds like Jennings/Bryco quality right there.

Not a fan of more laws.
But if we are gonna go there, you absolutely positively MUST be able to prove you are a true EDCer to get a payout.

If I dont go anywhere without my gun, yes. I deserve that protection for disarming. But some Karen who owns a gun, but its covered in dust sitting inside the bedside table doesnt deserve it.

I can see it now. " I own a gun and was there and deserve this payout because I was traumatized!"
So you own a gun?
Yes.
Where was it?
In the center console of my minivan.
And where was your minivan? In the parking lot? And did you leave it there because of the sign?
Ummm. No. At home. My girlfriend picked me up. We were going to the mall together and it was her turn to drive. The gun is always in the center console. (emphasis on ALWAYS)

Never going to happen. You knew the rules of their property and went anyway. You assume any liability for what happens to you.

No, I'm not going to bother him again just to ask what brand, but it was not *a* gun.

So it was a Glock then.

 

[Steve]

Can't think of any reason why I would even go to a mall theses days. But if I did, of course I would be armed. Something goes south and I have to defend myself and you want to ban me for it? Go right ahead. At least I will be alive to be banned.

 

[wtburnette]

Not sure why anyone thought carrying loose mags in a backpack at the mall was a good idea?

In reference to the mall and not being able to carry, concealed means concealed. I don't go to the mall often, but when I do, I'm armed. Never been hassled.

Then we need to back off on fire protection requirements, emergency exits, ADA, and all the other building and health code requirements.

Thankfully in Indiana "no firearms" signs don't carry the weight of law.
But there are enough oddities in this story to make me think there may have been some dumb-assery going on.
