Gunfire at Washington mall kills 1 and injures 1

[LiveBlues]

OK, kinda WTF question, but in a mall FULL of folks in a state with 800K CCW permits, not 1 return shot from an armed citizen? No follow out-side to avoid collateral and execute a 'halting action'. And BTW sick to frigging death of picking up the paper and reading about armed crime in Spokane DAILY! I wonder were I will go shopping next? Guess if it gets jacked I get my 15 lines of print in the Spokesman Review.

If I recall correctly, Southcenter is posted as a gun free zone. Therefore, all law abiding citizens left them in their car.

That's what I thought... another so called "gun free zone"!! Those signs are a joke and probably attract these types of criminals!!!

This is exactly why if a place is posted as being off limits, but isn't off limits under the law, and there are no metal detectors or security guards frisking patrons at the door, then I simply ignore the sign. How are they gonna know anyway?

Don't leave you gun at home or in the car. Take it with you . Better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6.

I take mine where ever I go unless I have to go through metal detectors

Unfortunately, In TN a sign posted at the door with the appropriate wording carries the weight of the law. Fortunately, I see very few of these signs and avoid the places that have them posted.
