mid-size busy mall, might have 3 guys with flashlights and radios, but not guns, mostly there to discourage shoplifting.

you won't see me at a 'pretend gun free zone' if i have any say over the matter. very dangerous places.

anyone can pull up the concealed carry permit laws for any state, and they will tell you quite clearly what all the 'gun free' places are.

Prescient post, as it turns out.
