WASHINGTON — The nation’s top homeland security official urged shoppers on Sunday to be “particularly careful” in visiting the Mall of America, a sprawling shopping center outside Minneapolis, after it was targeted for a terrorist attack in a video posted by a radical Islamist group.

“If anyone is planning to go to the Mall of America today, they’ve got to be particularly careful,” the official, Jeh C. Johnson, the secretary of Homeland Security, said on CNN.

In Colorado all they can do is ask you to leave. After that if you don’t it’s a misdemeanor

Wasn’t that the old school stuff in some of the IRA bombings?

If the DHS is defunded, we will not receive any more valuable warnings like this one.

Post of the weekend!

Mr Johnson another Obama idiot.

I am surprised he did not say that hearing that they were going to attack malls, the administration was going to conduct job fairs in all of the large malls to appease the terrorists with good jobs. /no sarc

CCW in MN: you’re fine carrying even if an establishment has “no guns” posted. If someone sees you’re carrying, and then management asks you to leave, you are still not in violation of the law. However, if you refuse to leave after being asked to leave (because your weapon was seen), you can be charged with a misdemeanor of sorts with a nominal fine- I beleive 50 to 7( (can’t recall).

Fresh from my own CCW class last year, I now carry at all times in mn.

Does anyone remember a novel written a few years ago with this scenario? Brad Thor, Vince Flynn, Baldacci??? I remember the story but I’ll be darned if I can recall who wrote it. I’m not even sure it referred to the MOA but the description and state where it was located left nothing to the imagination. It’s probably sitting on my bookshelves right now but I’m sure I’d look right over it. It’s impossible to recall the names of all the books someone reads.

Got it - “”Soft Target””- Highly recommend it!

“”Another action-packed thriller from Stephen Hunter, this time starring Ray Cruz, the son of ex-Marine sniper Bob Lee Swagger, who was introduced in Hunter’s previous bestseller, Dead Zero.

Ten thousand people jam the aisles, the corridors, the elevators, and the escalators of America, the Mall—a giant Rubik’s Cube of a structure with its own amusement park located in the spacious center atrium. Of those people, 9,988 have come to shop. The other twelve have come to kill.

Ray Cruz, one of the heroes of Hunter’s last bestseller, Dead Zero, is in the mall with his fiancée and her family. The retired Marine sniper thought he was done with stalking and killing—but among the trapped thousands, he’s the only one with a plan and the guts to confront the self-proclaimed “Brigade Mumbai.” Now all he needs is a gun.””

Should be a call to arms, not patronizing advice to "be careful." In a sane America, that is ...

Exactly right.
