We are more likely to have the Mall attack kind of thing
There are a LOT of “soft targets” here, but you’re right: large, packed and busy malls around the coming Holidays will make very easy, high-profile targets and terrorize the GP. It’s coming, and not too far off. I’ll be carrying 3 long guns again, as I did after 9-11 and DC Snipers Shootings, each purposed for a certain job, if that happens, in case the situation warrants it.
