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...
Uuunnnnh YUP. But you'd better be up to the task because I can't think of a more nightmarish scenario than to have to open fire in that sort of crowd! Always carry a spare load? Lots of folks despise the prefrangibles but in this situation, it'd be best to avoid bounce shots on missed targets. Better load up on either Glaser or MagSafe to prevent Thru-n-Thru penetrations and ricochets. Carry Federal Hydra-Shoks (185gr) in the backup....just a suggestion.....
