Um, did it eve occor to you that he would probably be carrying at least one pistol as well?
I was trying to illustrate a point on Long gun carry only not other variables. He also could have 10 Ninjas covering his back. yes I am being slightly sarcastic.
If I was referring to his other weapons I would have stated such. Just like another who assumes incorretly that the mall shooter was just a wild eyed psychopath. Read the Police report and you will see the "Mall" shooter was there the day prior and the police had a hand grenade scare with a suspected hand grenade that the media forgot to tell us was in fact linked to the stupid punk. He was found to have as Most shooters do cased the place on several occasions prior to his eventual attack, and death.
My point stands and is backed by Police investigations that despite the medias claim some guy just popped and pulled a AK or other weapon out of a bodily orifice and went on a killing spree instead of finishing his gift shopping is a lase assumption.
Did you know most every mass murderer shooter was on what are classified as behavioral drugs like Prozac, Halcyon and Ritalin to name just a few in that class? These tid bits are also unreported by our media.
The idiots who do these crimes are not just people who suddenly flip out, they are mostly delusional people with a blood lust for some kind of self satisfying vengeance trip. So strapping a long Gun at a Dough Nut shop is useless against such a Psychopath, as we saw with the Washington State massacre of four Police Officers. Frankly having 5 guns still won't protect you against this kind of well thought out attack. Even in Detroit in the last few years a few CPL holders were killed and weren't even able to fight let alone pull their guns in robberies, where the gun men came in shooting. I could go on for pages of these examples our fine media fails to report. Just last week myself and two of Detroit's finest were going over this very issue of CPL holders shot down. I carry open and I carry concealed even when I open carry for obvious reasons I assume you would understand. So yes I would hope he had a hidden weapon because a "Mall" shooter isn't worried about their own death, just a body count statement.
No matter what it comes down to, I would feel a lot more comfortable defending myself with a rifle than I would a pistol.
The 5.56mm NATO round is almost guaranteed to be a 1-shot stop at short ranges, delivering 1500 lbs of energy on target, and turning into a vicious debris of fragments inside the target.
In the Omaha Mall shooters case, he didn't even case the place. He walked in, stood by the entrance for a minute, walked out, came back with his rifle, snuck to the elevator, took the elevator to the top floor, and opened-fire the second the doors opened.
Event lasted 6 minutes before the shooter committed suicide.
You're damn right, in that situation, I would have wanted my AR15 on my back.
