Mall Shooting

<< < (5/12) > >>

SithMaster:
I would think them knowing he has a weapon (an assualt weapon though not sure on the laws or any changes to them) would be illegal and since he was living with them wouldnt they have an illegal firearm in their home?

Mall security sounds like a waste of money then.

Although the law allows the owner of a building to ban weapons.

But then if the mall banned weapons that guy wouldn't have brought a rifle into it.

news reports claim the guards were unarmed. I don't ever recall seeing a mall rent-a-cop armed with nothing more than a walkie talkie and flashlight. Even if the mall banned weapons the guy could still bring it in on his own. He was planning on killing people, I don't think he worried about that taking a firearm into the mall might be against the mall rules....

Mall security is designed to catch middle school kids stealing hats and enforce parking rules - not subdue people with guns.

SithMaster:
Seems like they should consider getting some kind of serious security then.  A high traffic place like a mall should have something more than a person who just calls for help.

How many malls are there and how many incidents like this have happened?

You just can't have armed guards everywhere you go.  That is called a Police State.  You don't want that.
