"So was the good guy with a gun carrying in a gun free zone?"

Only in NY. Channel 4 in Buffalo has reported it several times this morning. High praise from Indianna law enforcement as the "civilian" most likely saved many. Unusual in My eyes that the democratic controlled media would allow this. Hochul may issue a permit..but one cannot carry it anywhere in NY. (Except the bad guys)

Actually. The parent company if the mall has a blanket no gun policy so yes it was technically a gun free zone

I wonder if the mall will re-evaluate their policy considering they could have had a real bad situation or if they will go after the good guy for violating their policy?

Gun laws in Indiana - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org

Restricted locations[edit]​

It is illegal for anyone, except for law enforcement officers and authorized school resource officers, to possess a firearm on school property (K-12 and day care) or on a school bus,[7] except that lawful gun owners may have guns in their vehicles on school property provided that the gun is stored out of plain sight in the person's locked motor vehicle[8] or that the driver is only transporting someone to, or from, a school event. It is also illegal to carry a firearm on a commercial airplane or in the controlled section of an airport,[9] on a riverboat gambling cruise, at the Indiana State Fair, courthouses and the Indiana Statehouse and Government Center. Carrying on Army Corps of Engineers property which include Brookville Lake, Cagles Mill Lake, Cecil M. Harden Lake, J. Edward Roush Lake, Mississinewa Lake, Monroe Lake, Patoka Lake, and Salamonie Lake is restricted according to CFR Title 36, Chapter 111, Part 327.[10]

Private businesses may restrict or forbid firearms on their properties. However, signs prohibiting concealed weapons in private businesses do not have force of law in Indiana, although refusing to leave such a place for carrying a weapon, if requested by the property owner, would constitute trespassing. However, a 2010 law prohibits employers from discharging employees for in-vehicle firearms possession on business property.[11] Furthermore, an employer may not ask any employee about the possession of firearms and/or ammunition.[12]

This from Moms Demand Action Founder Shannon Watts on Twitter:

"I don’t know who needs to hear this but when a 22-year-old illegally brings a loaded gun into a mall and kills a mass shooter armed with an AR-15 after he already killed three people and wounded others is not a ringing endorsement of our implementation of the Second Amendment,"

She's right. Multiple people should have been freely armed.

They'll probably double down and post bigger signs - you know maybe the bad guy just didn't know it was against mall policy to come in and shoot up their customers.

I wonder if their gun policy was influenced by their insurance policy. If so, I'd love to see the families of the victims sue the shit out of the mall owners and the insurance company...well, want them to sue regardless.

Ok, I think I'm done now.

In a few months he would be facing a 4 year prison term if in NY.

Creates a list of sensitive locations where concealed carry is prohibited, makes criminal possession of a weapon in a prohibited area a Class E felony.
1. A PERSON IS GUILTY OF CRIMINAL POSSESSION OF A WEAPON IN A
RESTRICTED LOCATION WHEN SUCH PERSON POSSESSES A FIREARM, RIFLE, OR
SHOTGUN AND ENTERS INTO OR REMAINS ON OR IN PRIVATE PROPERTY WHERE SUCH
PERSON KNOWS OR REASONABLY SHOULD KNOW THAT THE OWNER OR LESSEE OF SUCH
PROPERTY HAS NOT PERMITTED SUCH POSSESSION BY CLEAR AND CONSPICUOUS
SIGNAGE INDICATING THAT THE CARRYING OF FIREARMS, RIFLES, OR SHOTGUNS ON
THEIR PROPERTY IS PERMITTED OR HAS OTHERWISE GIVEN EXPRESS CONSENT.

Second that!
Maybe an AR variant with an egg timer instead of a trigger... designate it the AR-77, officially named the Tribute Uvalde Rifle Design (TURD)...just try to be careful where the muzzle is pointed when it goes off.

I think it's funny, this is considered a mass shooting. Two people were killed two people were wounded, I guess it's considered Mass....

In Chicago last weekend one guy killed six other people, that was not considered a mass shooting. What is the difference?

Pretty sure you know what the difference is. ;)

Reference to FUKH asserting that armed citizens who defuse deadly situations or halt a rampage by some psycho are actually not heroic selfless acts of courage but part of the problem. … In not so many words, I can’t find the original citation at the moment…
