here's a stupid question: if his gun was as "concealed" as this young man stated, HOW DID MALL SECURITY SEE THE GUN ON HIM?

seems to me like this young computer programmer who lives in his parents basement likes to wear shirts that inch up ever so slightly so people can see his "piece". please correct me if i am wrong.

mho here and I prefer Conceal Carry, but what is bothering me is if more law abiding citizens carry exposed, the criminal and jihadist elements are going to understand the message sent. The message is....If (the criminal or jihadist) begins a crime with weapons, response could possibly be quicker than that criminal or jihadist wildest dreams. Law abiding citizens carrying protection exposed or concealed bothers me not, but I have no doubt a criminal or jihadist would think twice, and causing someone to think twice sometimes is what is necessary to prevent a crime or worse. Now the liberals and their minions will cry "Foul", but self-protection is a God given right granted to a law abiding citizenry, in spite of what the politicians and some on the bench would have one believe. When the 2nd is overturn, I will be a criminal, as will anyone who holds that right of self-protection dear to their heart, and I will be forced to realize America's unarm population is venerable, as removing the right to keep and bear arms has now been abolished and should the 2nd Amendment be overturned. Now as I said, I prefer Conceal Carry and I prefer Conceal Carry over exposed but that is simply me, yet I will not and cannot tell a law abiding citizen to give up the right of self-protection (btw I am not a law enforcement officer, I am only a citizen) and I cannot support law enforcement saying, "I see you have a weapon, you are under arrest." Hopefully (if this were to occur) there would be another armed and prepared citizen in the area, showing a firearm, obeying the law, protecting themselves or fellow citizens if the need should arise, for the police officer, or the courts would have removed a potential line of defense for America and America's citizens, by the action of an arrest....mho

HOW DID MALL SECURITY SEE THE GUN ON HIM

He was wearing a holster with a mag pocket openly strapped to his leg. The holster totally covered the gun. He was apparently trying to make a point about "transporting" a gun in a closed container.

I personally think it a weak argument and destined to land him in hot water.
