Doubtful you'll be at the right place at the right time if you're standing a post, especially with the Guard....since in many cases those M16's or M4's don't even have a loaded mag in the weapon. You're far better off if you live in a RTC state and exercise your rights by carrying (lawfully) a concealed 45 everywhere you go.....Trust me, there is a terror attack coming to a mall near you! The cops and soldiers in uniform will be the very first targets. But the lawfully armed citizens may very well save the day. This of course is an enduring RAT nightmare....

Exsoldier, I have my concealed weapons permit and incidently pack a .45--as you suggested. I've carried much more frequently since 9-11.

What's the heaviest day in the US for malls? The day after Thanksgiving...
