Any news on these ******s names yet?
In fact, I think Utah has one of the more lax conceal carry permit laws.
As far as I know, in Utah, you can still strap a holster and revolver around each hip, western style.
But it is so much safer to conceal. I know you can drive around with your rifle or shotgun hanging in your pick-up window. I thik I'll start

"Just reported that the shooter was and 18 year old Bosnian Muslim."
If he's Muslim, that's the lead.

You are correct about Oxmoor Mall - what a waste! - Nice one story mall - disaster of the immediate surroundings. I lived in Louisville 1996 to 2002 - I was nervous at Oxmoor every time I went there. I don't know how the merchants stay open - it was always empty of actual shoppers. I noted the two consecutive day train derailments a few weeks ago and logged in to the Curious-Urinal website; I noted that it had the train derailment stories, but the top of page photo story were the dual BP station holdups; the BP at Oxmoor and the BP on Hurstbourne Lane were held up by the same scumbags a half hour apart. These locations were on either side of my "old Kentucky home". Totally disgusting.
Can't necessarily agree with you on St. Mathews, etc., these locations are not devoid of civilization yet; but Concealed Carry may become a necessity for law abiders if this keeps up.

P.S. - How about those Cards over Pitt last night??!!?!?
I'm sure some bleeding heart brought he and his single mother here 10 years ago when he was just 8 years old to escape the "mean, evil" Slobodan Milosevic who was the last line of Christian defense vs. Islam in Eastern Europe.

Go Cards! I have always liked Rick Pitino and Benny Crum, they both seem to have more "class" than other NCAA coaches.
This is TERRORISM. The killer was a Bosnian muslim. 18 years old and out on a suicide attack.
