Minnesota state Rep. Tony Cornish says the al-Shabaab threat against the
Mall of America should be enough to motivate mall owners to drop their no guns policy so citizens can protect themselves.
Mr. Cornish, a Republican who also chairs the House Public Safety Committee, said the Mall of America has interpreted state concealed carry laws incorrectly, and hes intent on challenging them for it, a local CBS affiliate reported.
This is completely ridiculous. The complete opposite of what they should be doing, he said. If were threatened with an attack, the last thing you want to do is disarm citizens.
The Republicans comments come after a tweet sent from the Mall of Americas Twitter account said, The mall bans all guns from the premises, youll note this clearly at each entrance door.

Don't give them any ideas!
Common knowledge would dictate that many law-abiding conceal/carry owners are ignoring this and carrying anyway...just in case.

Saw a blip on TV that they now have security at each entrance and are even swabbing every bag to try to detect explosive residue. Unlikely that a CC can get through with a gun.
Unless they are using metal detectors, (TSA at the mall?) then how would they know if your weapon was concealed?
“no jury, even in Minnesota would convict.”
We are talking about the state that elected Al Frankin.
They have a history of bad judgment and low intellect.
Disarming it’s citizens is a dumb thing. There is no
guarantee they would, out of the blue, do something smart.
The the odds are they would prosecute and possibly convict.
Never underestimate the ignorance of liberals. In mass they
are still that dumb.
Mall of America Nanny State PING!
How about a sign that says ...
Terrorist note: At any given time 1 in 5 of our shoppers IS ARMED. Enter at your own risk as you will never know who will shoot back, no Miranda rights required.
Thanks for the ping!
Aren’t we ALWAYS under a terror threat?
Just askin.
I always carry concealed at MOA. The signage isn’t legal and isn’t posted at every entrance. So I pick an entrance that doesn’t have it posted. Concealed means concealed.
