Why would you need a gun at the mall?

PUT THE KOOL AID DOWN AND STEP AWAY FROM THE PITCHER! Are you daffy, trying to play Devil's advocate or are you just a trolling flaming liberal? I deal with criminals on a daily basis and I know what's out there. That's why I carry at the mall and anywhere else I happen to go. And when I get home, I don't put my pistol up. Although I live in an upscale neighborhood, that's no guarantee that a home invasion can't happen. Anymore you need to be prepared all the time.

This bears repeating. I do the same now. My cousin (who was no criminal and didn't mingle with any) was killed in a home invasion about 3 weeks ago. Being armed at all times is the key to your security. Anything else is pablum.

I don't have a problem with you carrying a gun at the mall. But I have met a lot of people who I wouldn't trust with a gun at the mall.

Maybe looking for a zot?

Posting metal detectors at the entrance will only cause people to sneak in through the back doors of the places.
