The Burlington, MA, Mall was locked-down this morning after a patron screamed that there was a man carrying a rifle in the mall. Approximately 300 police and an undetermined number of local fire departments were dispatched to deal with the emergency. It was just announced that there was no gunman; just a shopper with an umbrella. Even for the vicious, Liberal, anti-gunners in MA, this may be a record. Perhaps someone can sum-up the total $ cost in emergency services and lost business.
