The “Code of Conduct” for the Mall in Columbia, Maryland where a fatal shooting took place Saturday includes a prohibition on the possession of “firearms.”
In other words, the site of what the Daily Mail described as a January 25th “murder-suicide” did not allow guns on its premises.
This meant law-abiding citizens could in no way defend themselves when 19-year-old Darion Marcus Aquilar brought his 12-gauge shotgun into the mall to carry out his heinous deed. FOX 45 Baltimore reports that the shotgun used by Aquilar was legally purchased at a store in Montgomery County in December.
Most of the shootings like this happen in “gun free” zones.
I am going to guess that there isn’t a mall in Idaho that bans guns, because they know they won’t have much business. I’m also going to guess that there isn’t a crook in Idaho that doesn’t know that if they try something in an Idaho mall, there will be several guns pointing at them in a short time. I don’t hear or read of much serious crime in Idaho. I have mentioned before that Idaho has OPEN CARRY IN THE STATE CAPITAL BUILDING. Does anyone know of any other state that does?
