“If we’re threatened with an attack, the last thing you want to do is disarm citizens.”

One would think so.

Common knowledge would dictate that many law-abiding conceal/carry owners are ignoring this and carrying anyway...just in case.

What are the mall owners going to do if a gun carrying citizen intervenes and kills/disarms a terrorist? Prosecute him?

That sign right there will stop the terrorists in their tracks, won’t it?

I would just not shop there.
But that’s just me.

I don’t feel they are safe even without terrorists.

I would suggest that any and all concerned about the possibility of a terror attack at the Mall of America that is currently in the planning stages among certain ethnic groups in eastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin should give serious consideration to shopping at smaller mom-and-pop stores nearer home, away from large concentrations of unarmed sitting duck cannon fodder Americans.

Tony Cornish is as good as it gets on Minnesota 2A issues. Great to see him speaking out and standing up for our rights — as usual.

With DHS funding under pressure it is a bit coincidental to have this threat.

Why do you feel the need to carry a concealed pistol?

“Because a cop will not fit in my pocket”

Come on now...If a bunch of foreigners imported in here by govenrment decide to murder several dozen innocents at this gawdy mall, we can all have more candle light vigils, sob and hold hands..

Americans have become very good at this.

I remind everyone of that little ol’Texas restaurant massacre, where that witness left her gun in the truck.

My life is more important, than some mall owner’s tighjty whitey shorts being in a twist.

Because of the mall sign, anyone that gets injured from any such attack, should sue the mall owners for THEIR house(s), THEIR vehicles, THEIR monies for the rest of the injured party’s natural lives, since THE INJURED PARTY might not be able to live the life they have lived, because of having their 2nd Amendment rights illegally curbed, and denied their right to self-preservation.

I was a ‘Mall Ninja’ for a while. They didn’t even want me having the Swiss Army Knife on my keychain. So yeah, that gig didn’t last very long.

I’m not saying... I am just saying..

The weapon is hidden... if for some reason it’s discovered last I heard the fine was 25 bucks (plus probably a few hundred in “court costs”) if you don’t leave...

Won’t happen. They would rather have normal people dead than change the rule.

“What are the mall owners going to do if a gun carrying citizen intervenes and kills/disarms a terrorist? Prosecute him?”

Yes they will. Even if the person saves 1000 lives they
will prosecute them. If for no other reason than to thwart
a lawsuit.

Most likely anyone who throws down on a terrorist
will come under fire by the mall cops. Remember you
can never do anything that makes the local law enforcement
look irreverent.

“One would think so.”

Unless it’s a government that is being held, truly held
accountable for it’s actions by it’s citizens. Then it makes
perfect sense.

Probably. If they’re anything like NY, the sheepdog would go to jail.

Saw a blip on TV that they now have security at each entrance and are even swabbing every bag to try to detect explosive residue. Unlikely that a CC can get through with a gun.
