Unless they were convicted of a crime. We'll likely never know, like the State Fair shooter.

I know several "thugs" (some I'm even related to) that illegal carry. It's been my experience that good, law abiding citizens, that are lawfully carrying, don't find themselves in those situations and get into shootouts in a mall.

True but certainly clears up the grey area of who is legal to carry or not i.e. background check for License To Carry and some thug "who is of age" and wants to carry a gun because he feels he has the right to because of constitutional carry. One more charge to tack on as well.

Sigh. Another reason why I'm not a fan of constitutional carry. I actually go to this mall, and Northpark, fairly often as far as malls go. But strictly for the movie theater. I only go during the day and almost always a matinee showing. Never at night.
