It would be great if the media would mention that the guy who prevented more people from dying that day had a concealed weapon rather than talking about what type of gun this other monster with no soul had. All this does is add fuel to a fire of anti-gun loving people who feel guns are the problem when the real issue is education.

That Utah mall had a posted sign outside that did not allow CCWs..... I have eaten there and my brother-in-law lives in SLC. He has a CCW, but abides by the law as posted. So in effect, it was another "gun free" zone that was not exactly gun free by the perp and just glad the off duty LEO was there.
The Omaha mall also had signs posted as "no CCW" allowed. That mass shooter/suicider also didn't abide by this rule. We never really hear about the "no CCW" signs in the media.

Thanks for the information. I have to take you at your word on this. Do you think the gunman picked that mall because he knew it was a gun free zone. If so, shame on the mall. I dont think the sign will be amended.
CCW's are very rare in CA especially in OC, so I have never seem a NO CCW sign. Turners has a no gun sign but CCW and LEO are welcome with open arms as long as they hoster and conceal.
Regardless of the signage posted, I still feel an armed society is polite society. I still think these things would happen less often if more people CCW'ed.
