I have SEEN the video of the Nairobi attack that was made into a documentary and consists of the mall security footage of the actual attack with voiceover narration of what is happening. Seeing the victims cowering in fear waiting to be slaughtered by the wolves bearing AK-47s is almost unbearable. The footage of the "rescuers" Kenyan military forces is almost as bad. The only folks with any training or semblance of courage are the armed civilians or off duty SAS (as mentioned)

Finally, the military backed off after any ambulatory survivors near the exits had been evacuated and ASSUMING all the victims inside to be dead, they simply fire a cannon at point blank range into the heart of the mall. That basically brought the building down. But everytime I go to the mall either to see a movie (remember Aurora CO?) or to shop with my wife I remember Nairobi and I carry my Sig MK 25 (9mm) with a spare 18 rd mag or I carry the Sig P227 45 and a spare 10 rd mag. It's a pain to carry a full sized service auto IWB in the South Florida heat but the secret is in dressing correctly. Anyway, the purpose of carrying a concealed weapon isn't to be comfortable, it's to be comforting.

Warnings like this could have a useful purpose... like when traction devices are required during heavy snow on the passes. Example Below:

D - H - S *** S - P - E - I - A - L *** A - L - E - R - T

ATTENTION THERE HAS BEEN A THREAT MADE AGAINST SHOPPERS AT THE MALL OF AMERICA. ALL SHOPPERS WILL BE REQUIRED TO EITHER HAVE OR BE ACCOMPANIED BY SOMEONE WITH A CONCEILED WEAPON PERMIT AND A LOADED FIREARM IN GOOD WORKING CONDITION.
