Does the corporate liberal really lack the common sense to know it will have no effect whatsoever?

I would say...yes. But hey, that's just my take on it. I could be wrong. Maybe they put it there for insurance reasons.

Who knows.

All the malls owned by GGP have no-guns signs. That was the great irony of the Trolly Square shooting. The bad guy ignored the sign and walked in with a handgun, shotgun and a backpack full of ammo. Fortunately, an off duty Ogden PD officer ignored the sign too.

I recall not very long ago...okay, perhaps it was a long time ago...driving right by the Glendale Galleria during some holiday.

Being a pilot (and it didn't require being one to notice) I saw ...6-7 helicopters above? It turns out that someone had robbed a number of places in the mall, from what I recall. It was an armed robbery, and I don't recall the outcome, but a chase ensued and weapons were involved. Anyone recall?

I wonder if the Galleria management (whose security at the time wasn't competent enough to catch or stop the guy) would feel better served by being robbed and having the guy get away...or some citizen spotting the problem or the cashier at one store simply being able to end that violence by stopping the robber in his tracks due to having a CCW and exercising their right...

If he isn't actively killing the customers and employees, they would ABSOLUTELY prefer that the BG got away. No question at all.

To a degree... I would to. As long as all they want is my money and I can be sure they will not hurt me or my family... they can have whats in my pocket.
