[Lee F. Smith]

All due respect to the other opinions, you can’t realistically think that these psychotic killers did not consider where they choose to carry out their plan. Obviously, the primary reason would be some perceived wrong done to them in the past; but to think that they did not consider their target is naive in the extreme. Once again don’t confuse psychotic with stupid. These individuals are predators that do consider what, where and when to carry out their attack.

To the original question I agree with on campus CCW, to Rodsteal’s question “Do you think the gunman picked that mall because he knew it was a gun free zone.” Absolutely, was it the primary reason? Doubtful, but only Peter Pan would say it played no role in the attack.
