I've been away from the forum for several days. I'm surprised at this thread. Did the OP really expect a different trend in the response was even possible?

You are at the mall
Or get shot....So, those who would run toward the sound of shots might find an armed party that they don't know is innocent, and engage.
With no way of letting others around me know I was one of the good guys there's no way I'd go running towards the sound of the shots.
If I were in the immediate line of fire from the perpetrator I'd do what I had to do. But, once the threat was removed (in whatever way) I'd immediately put my piece away.
Situations such as those are very dangerous for anyone visibly holding a firearm who are not wearing a plainly visible police or security uniform.
An attacker with a knife has to get right next to you to kill you. (And a fire extinguisher and a narwhale tusk are both longer than a knife.) An attacker with a gun does not. So the scenario doesn't match the one in your poll.
My God,I love the internet
Just shop at malls that are "Gun Free Zones". What's the big deal?
Gun-free zone and no surveillance cameras either?! Mind-boggling.My local mall is one. A ccw holder was recently trespassed from the mall. A crazy woman pulled a knife on him and he drew his gun and she fled. It ended up being a he said/she said situation and the mall had no outside cameras apparently.
