Since we are on the topic of age, i recently turned the big Forty years old.
I think that we should be certain of what we will do in the scenario I outlined six months ago in this post.

How to react to an attack in a crowded mall?
I was in the mall yesterday...
Yesterday I was with my family in the Bryan College Station Mall Christmas shopping. I began to think about what happened in the mall in Washington State a couple of weeks ago.
The mall that I was in was very crowded with multiple kiosks and shoppers. I began to think about what I would do in the event of an attack with firearms occurred in the mall.
My equipment was a Cell Phone and regular size M1911 clone Llama .45 ACP with two reloads 230 grain JHPs with a back up pistol Keltec P32 in .32 ACP with one reload for it. 8)
My first priority would be to get my family to safety if not caught in the immediate affected area. If I couldn't, I would find the best cover for them and then engage the bad guy or guy's.
The engagement would be from behind cover possibly using the many floor kiosks as camo while taking cover behind more substantial building materials at the entrance of the various stores.
Hopefully everyone would be at ground level or getting there as a result of the gun fire that the event began with. This might provide me with a better chance at safe backstops and the perpetrators being the only erect people at that point.
I would take on the one with the largest weapon ie shotgun or rifle or "Gasp" a machine gun. This is of course if I have no where else to go and the individuals are actively shooting at and hitting people.
I would be curious to see other people's opinion and contingencies for this type of situation. I do not spend much time in the malls, but this is a common place for many of us on this site.
