A Pennsylvania mall that bans guns has mass shooting
American Thinker ^ | 18 )ct, 2021 | Andrea Widburg

Meanwhile, in Norway, unarmed police were unable to stop a mass murderer.

Although the daily news always provides plenty of examples of people doing genuinely bad things (assault, robbery, rape, murder, etc.), the fact is that most people in America are law-abiding. And while some will sit passively while a violent rape occurs directly in front of them, many of these good citizens will act when called upon to do so. Nevertheless, America's retail stores and entertainment venues insist on disarming the good guys under the delusional belief that it will stop the bad guys.

The latest example of this urge to disarm comes from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where a shooting occurred at the Park City Center shopping mall on Sunday afternoon:

Gunshots rang out at the Park City Center in Lancaster around 2:30 p.m., according to Lancaster Online.

Two people suffered gunshot wounds and two suspects were in custody, according to police and the website, which said the injuries were not life-threatening.

An argument broke out between four people outside an international food store, the owner of the store told the outlet. One man brandished a gun during a scuffle, and it was knocked away by a man who then opened fire, according to the report.

No mention of how many involved were named Mohammad.

I know that most malls have a "No Firearms" policy. I never go in without one (very seldom there, but if I have to, I'm packing).

Remember, it's not a "gun-free zone law" like in schools, it's just an owner preference.

They call it concealed carry for a reason. If somehow they find out all they can do is ask me to leave. And frankly there is nothing in that mall that I could possibly want. Most of my disposable income these days is spent at places like Cabelas.

It's been over 20 years since I've been in a mall.

Nothing to do with their policies, but if I were to think of going to a mall, their stupid policies would end that idea.

The closest mall to me is about 2 hours away.

Ain't it the truth.

When I went to my local congress critter's meeting at the high school, I was carrying {concealed} and there was no metal detector so I wasn't going to confess.

I carry when I go to Mass, at weddings, funerals even Confession.

I'm going into Pittsburgh today, and I will not be entering the Federal Building {so no metal detectors} so I will carry.

When I see a business {very rare in W PA} with a no gun sign, I either ignore the sign or don't go in and support that fool {depending if I really want something that this fool has}.

Who goes to ‘shopping malls’ anymore, and why?

Only thing a gun free zone is good for is telling a lunatic with a weapon that no one else has one to shoot back.

The left plans to take guns from non-violent citizens while deliberately and intentionally leaving them in the hands of violent criminals.

That makes the productive class dependent on the government for protection. If they don't pay up they won't be protected. A classic mob protection racket.

I haven’t been to the Lancaster area in about 30 years. Have the demographics changed that much that shoot outs at malls are common?

It is why the Sullivan law was passed in New York.

Depends on the state you are in. In my state, if you are “made”, all they can do is ask you to leave, there is no risk of prosecution for anything unless you do not. But in some states, you could be at risk.

There’s been a term for that for a few decades now. Anarcho-tyranny.

“I go about once a year to go to the Apple store.”

Lucky, so far, I guess?
