Allen Premium Outlets: “Code of conduct… No weapons.”
Source: https://www.simon.com/legal/code-of-conduct
That’s the official policy of the shopping center in Allen, Texas, where a mass shooter named Mauricio Garcia recently killed 8 people.
The shooter was killed by a police officer.

By comparison, last year at the Greenwood Park Mall in Greenwood, Indiana, a would-be mass shooter named Jonathan Sapirman was shot and killed by a law abiding gun owner named Elisjsha Dicken.
We will never know how many lives Dicken saved.

If I had to choose between both of these horrible situations, I would choose the less horrible of the two. I would choose the situation where a law abiding gun owner saved some unknown number of lives.
Of course the ideal situation would be that bad guys would obey a policy that bans guns. But bad guys don’t obey policies that ban guns.
Therefore, I believe that the ban on weapons at the Texas shopping center is 100% about virtue signalling, and has nothing to do with actually preventing mass shootings.

“Allen Premium Outlets: “Code of conduct… No weapons.”
Unless you are a criminal or a nut job looking for infamy or suicide by police.
Killers gonna kill. Take away their guns, they’ll still be there to kill. Bombs, knives, vehicles. They’ll continue to murder. You far-left turd rollers are smokin’ too much pot and pissin’ in the wind. Killers gonna kill.
Has anyone noticed the completely lopsided political lean of these mass killers in the last month or 2?
2 trans psycho killers
1 Bernie supporter, Trump hating vax loving Gen z banker
2-3 illegals
1-2 black, white hating racists
Correct me if I’m wrong or feel free to add to the list if I have forgotten some. Are there ANY conservatives?
Indeed they will. It just goes to show that bans and prohibitions don’t work!
I noticed it too. All of those killers on the list were flaming hot lefties!
FWIW - ‘Some’ news outlets are reporting this guy as a “white” (whatever you call it) Neo-nazi; which doesn’t make sense to me ... but some left wing media outlets are running with that narrative
I just can’t imagine no one was carrying in the mall. Texans aren’t stupid.
They need to work on gun trafficking, which puts guns in the hands of criminals, and will continue to put guns in the hands of criminals no matter how many guns are banned to law abiding citizens.
As an aside, this guy, was evidently removed from the army 15 years ago because of mental health issues.

It is more properly called a “free to murder” zone. Democrats love them.
“ I just can’t imagine no one was carrying in the mall. Texans aren’t stupid.”
These outlet malls in Texas are gun free zones. Anyone with any sense avoids them. There are no bargains there, and you risk your life.
I suspect there are very few malls in TX that a crazed gunman would get off more than two shots before being made to resemble swiss cheese...
There’s another outlet mall in Hillsboro TX. It is at maybe 20% occupancy. Really struggling to get vendors and customers. So about two years ago they posted the required no guns allowed 30.06&30.07 signage. They are only there as a tax write off by some wealthy investor.
I do not shop at stores with gun bans. Gun free zone solved...at least for me and mine.
I got myself a concealed carry purse for Christmas last year and now I carry everywhere. I refuse to rely on the police or strangers for my safety.
ALWAYS ignore signs forbidding CCW UNLESS ...
1. There’s a metal detector or risk of a pat-down
2. They provide you with a personal armed security detail
9 dead people is a small price to pay for being able to say one is against those dangerous guns.
They are effectively telling all psychopath mass shooters that it’s open season there.
