Surprised that AP would say that. In one of the earliest mass shootings a disturbed teenager was held at gunpoint by a civilian, stopping the incident, and the press only mentioned that the shooting was 'stopped'.

They don't want to encourage 'vigilantes' you see.

I’m shocked the AP is leaving the last part in,

Our largest mall in Tulsa is a "gun free" zone. Well, at least Berettas... lol

Since I don't carry a Beretta, I ignore the signs.

Might be a part-time, weekend employee.
Probably get written up by management on Monday.

The old saying a good person with a gun is what stops a bad person with a gun was never so true in this incident.

I had to go to Penn Square mall a couple years ago to pick up an iPad, and the mall has a no gun sign posted but no metal detectors. That’s all I’m going to say about that.

I say this seriously without joking.
There is so much #$%^&%^^$%$ advertising stuck up everywhere, I really don't know where does and doesn't have any signs ???

There's a Simon employee that now works with the Paul Blarts at Penn Square. He's full on mall commando with half dozen patches that say police, same with his dog, but no badge visible, and no jurisdictional markings whatsoever. Illinois tags on the "police" car out front. If his dog detects on you, he sends the female Blarts to ask you to leave, while never personally directly acknowledging you at all. I know that sounds oddly specific, and it should because I was asked to leave. Luckily I had already ate the Japanese food we were there for. I refuse to go there unarmed. So, now, I refuse to go there.

Personally if more of these mass murderers get killed it might put an end to this BS. They want their 15 minutes of fame but not in the obits.
