I live about 4 miles from this weekends mall shooting in Tinley Park
IL. The damn Lane Bryant store had no security video system. No
video these days, how crazy is that? Lane Bryant should be sued for
that alone because now they cant ID the shooter. Lane Bryant is only
offering a 50k reward, they should have put that 50k into a video
system to cover their asses, now it will really cost them. IL outlaws
CC unfortunately,

Making it SAFE for criminals.(far safer for them than ODCs)

otherwise the incident probably would not have
happened as shooterrs would be more wary, or at least the shooter
would have been stopped. This shooter probably knew he would not be
on camera. CC and mandatory rifle/pistol classes at the high school
level would do a lot to deter gun crime.

I guess all of Illinois is a "gun-free"(and free-fire) zone.....

I disagree that schools should make rifle/pistol classes -mandatory- .
it should be people's own free choice whether to use a firearm or not.
But,they could make firearm SAFETY part of their health class.

ODC= ordinary decent citizens.

Agreed, IL is pretty bad when it comes to gun sanity, in essense only
the criminals are allowed to own them. I think if a state does not
have CC then they should at least allow shop managers and store owners
to carry or set booby traps, etc. The Lane Bryant store especially
needs a woman with a gun, criminals know there will never be a man in
a small apparell store like that and that it would be a push over for
rape and robbery (which they disclosed may be involved today). If the
police can have guns, then why not law abiding citizens? In a medical
emergency they talk about the "golden minute" for paramedic service,
but in a robbery its more like a "golden second", you cant afford to
wait a whole minute for police service, you need to be ready with your
weapon. In Illinois it is even illegal to defend your home from an
armed intruder, unless the court proves that the entry wound is in the
front of the criminals body. So in IL if someone breaks in and begins
raping your daughter, you have to make sure you shoot him from the
front, now that is an insane law.

Most gun laws are insane. Unnecessary. Redundant. Meaningless.
Worthless.

I could go on.
