get rid of the ‘gun free zone’ signs, and you’ll have a whole army of hidden defenders...

"Shootings in American shopping malls are not uncommon. Two women were killed at a San Francisco mall in July, and last Christmas two were fatally shot in a mall in Portland, Oregon, before the shooter turned the gun on himself."

Which he did when he spotted the Concealed Carry civilian draw his weapon.

I love Shish kebab.

I’m waiting for Obummy to announce that the TSA will now be stationed at all major shopping malls.

“You could have someone who is mentally unstable, and this is their unhealthy way to draw attention to themselves.”

So are they implying the only way a mall could be attacked in the US are by mentally unstable people? Or that terrorists are mentally unstable? Always running cover for the jihadists.

Going to the Waldorf Mall in Maryland after dark is taking your life in your hands.

The muzzie in SLC Trolley Square mall was held down by a carrier.

Can’t remember the last time I was at a mall or any other place where large people gather. I went to a Seattle Mariners game this summer - no large crowd there.

Turn up the A/C, because I’m gonna be wearing a jacket for all future mall visits.....

Damn...there's a great mall a mile or so away from me that's great for walking.It has underground parking and open its doors about 2 hours before the stores open.It's fantastic to use during hot,cold,rainy,slippery weather.with this they just might stop opening early for mall walkers like me.

They need the NSA to spy on us so they can issue warnings after the fact? Day late and a dollar short.

[Veggie Todd]

...where large people gather.

Ha. I just realized my own poor word choice.

[G Larry]

Don’t let a sign get in the way of your self-defense!

[from occupied ga]

The Department of Homeland Security is urging shopping malls in the United States to increase security in the aftermath of the carnage wrought by al Qaeda’s Somalia affiliate over the weekend in Nairobi.

They can make bigger "guns prohibited" signs. That will work! Probably what went wrong in Nairobi. The "guns prohibited" signs weren't conspicuous enough for the terrorists to read.

We need more Paul Blarts.

a Bosnian muslim went all allu akbar on Valentines Day in a Utah mall a couple years back but no one was supposed to notice his motive, sadly Americans died unrecognized as more victims of eeslami jihad

1. hijack danger —> pilots got guns —> hijacks STOPPED

2. military base danger—> ??? —> military base shootings will stop

3. mall danger —> ?? —> mall shootings will stop

[VanDeKoik]

Malls are gun free zones. No worries.

A spontaneous Jihadi shot up The Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle shortly after my ex-wife stopped working there, wounding several friends, killing one.
