The story linked below is about a man being mugged in the mall parking lot. I haven't been to that mall, so I cannot comment on whether it's anti-gun or not.

The story allows comments and the first commenter made mention of open carry and another commenter brought out all the same old arguments against almost anyone carrying. The commenter specifically did not like open carry.
