This where I’m from. I grew up in and around this mall, worked there all through high school, and have done most of my shopping there.

For the record, this has always been posted as a gun free zone, but, stupid signs carry no weight of law in Indiana. If spotted carrying, they could ask you to leave, with a trespass warning.

All the malls in indianapolis were owned by the Simon brothers, and they are pretty anti-gun.

This should wake folks up to the fact that "gun free zones" only work when backed up by good folks with guns!

Doubt it will be on the National Headlines in the MSM...

Wrong narrative for them.....

The evil libtards will probably push to get the samaritan shooter convicted of murder and the glorify the dead bad guy as a victim because his momma didn’t tuck him in when he was a baby.

I was shocked to see it on the local news last night

I immediately wondered at "legally carrying" in a mall, but was unaware of Indiana's nuance on gun free zones.

Thank God this guy chose to ignore the signs, and I hope nothing comes back on him!

It's not a happy ending, just so much better than it could have been.

What signs?

Indiana mall shooting and the case against "gun-free zones"

I just watched the news conference on this. The good Samaritan was praised by the police and given high marks for his tactics and marksmanship. Afterwards the press seemed to be more concerned with whether or not the good Samaritan was legally carrying than they were with the shooter. The Samaritan agreed that his name could be released. I don't think that I would have okay'd that.

Just wait for Sapirman's mother to cry on CNN about what a good boy he was and that there was no reason for anybody to shoot him and that we should ban all guns.

Have they released information on how many GSWs Sapirman had? The article says that Dicken fired 10 rounds. I am just curious how many of those hit the intended target when shot by an untrained civilian under duress.

Who says he was untrained, just because he was a civilian? Cops don't get much firearms training unless they're swat, and we trust them. Plenty of videos of them firing dozens or hundreds of rounds without killing the intended target.

Gun control advocates are pissed off that a good guy stopped the killing and are lying about the legal status of his carry. Here is the article. I couldn't help myself and had to comment the following:

These people truly want more bloodshed to support their narrative. So a good guy who was legally carrying under Indiana's constitutional carry law, stops an active shooter and saves lives and they are pissed off. Liberalism really is a mental illness.

I think the point BBL was probably hoping to make is that the citizen (untrained in the eyes of the MSM) may have a better hit ratio than LE... It would be nice to know...

With all of the talk in the media about the legal status of the good guys carry I did a quick search and found this:

The state of Indiana does not have any specific law restricting guns on private property. However, its trespassing law gives owners the right to prohibit anyone from entering or remaining on their property without the owner’s consent.

I am not an attorney but it looks like you would only be trespassing if you were asked to leave and did not. Maybe an attorney could chime in and clarify. The media's desire to turn this guy who stopped a crime into a criminal is mind boggling but not surprising.

My only question is was the pistol chambered in 30 SC?
