Who cares if they allow it or not...good people need to have their weapons to deter mass shootings. No one’s going to prosecute a person who just saved of the lives of many possible victims.

They may or may not, depending on the second by second reconstruction of the incident. Here in Kansas City store clerks, security guards, and people in their homes who use guns to repel a robbery or attack are routinely arrested and held in custody until the prosecutor decides to prosecute or not. The only participants in a shooting that don't get arrested at the scene are on-duty or off-duty police officers. If the perp ends up with too many bullet holes or bullet holes in the wrong places the shooter almost always gets prosecuted for some kind of felony or criminal homicide.

Big city police departments that face a daily grind of shooting calls and murders develop a very cynical attitude about armed citizens, and the SOP is to remove as many guns and shooters from the population as humanly possible.

Actually folks that kill a shooter/burglar/criminal are prosecuted all the time.

Never underestimate the stupidity and arrogance of a city-state-federal prosecutor.

Yup...I’m so glad I live in Florida, where we have excellent “Castle Doctrine” laws that extend to “anywhere a person has a right to be”. Malls generally have signs that prohibit concealed weapons, but I ignore them. If my weapon is concealed, they will never know. If by some chance mall security notices I have a weapon, the most they can do is ask me to leave, and I would politely comply with that request. No need to bring unnecessary trouble on myself at that point.
