This is why the Jackson Mall and Metro Center were abandoned to the thugs. But you are a racist if you don't endanger the life of your family to contribute to the tax base!
Proximity alert.

This was once a nice mall in ridgeland
Loss of tax base expanding wider
Proof that constitutional carry works when everyone participates.
@7:24 pm... This is still a nice Mall, recently renovated.
Last time I checked, long ago, Northpark was a gun free zone. I haven't been back.
Shelter in place? I'm getting the fuck out of there if I can.
The business owner who delivered the shot apparently needs to go back to the pistol range. Meanwhile, you, me, and other taxpayers are paying for this perpetrators bad decisions.

Get a grip. You are no Paul Harrell or Lenny Magill.
He was already looking down the barrel of her drawn weapon.
Your paper target at the range doesn’t shoot back.
He survived. He didn’t hit an innocent bystander. And the threat was neutralized.
Madison County is spiraling down the drain
@8:55 PM - What? If it's a GFZ how is it that a 16-year old has a gun? You mean the GFZ signs don't mean diddly squat? But the libtards think they do.
Madison is so safe
I'm old enough to remember going to Jackson Mall with my mom when I was a very young child. I still remember the Orange Julius store..
Gun Free Zone signs don't mean jack.
@10:57
Gun Free Zone signs mean about as much as a crooked business owner posting the Ten Commandments outside their front door.
The usefulness of a GFZ sign or designation is that it lets you know where not to go or spend your money. Generally once I see one I never go back. I haven't been to Northpark since they first put a sign up right after the original CCW permit law was enacted, around 1990.

Surely you jest.
North park has not been a safe place in quite a long time. Any renovations that have been done to that place does not make it a safe place to frequent.
I don’t recall any shootings at Metrocenter.
Save Rdglnd
@3:17 AM / 5:56 AM It was sarcasm. I ignore those signs, even at the tax office and public works, as those are contrary to the law (public property). Concealed is concealed.
WLBT reports that the woman who was shot was trying to steal from a popcorn store. How. How pathetic is that? What kind of low-life steals popcorn, of all things? How much could the popcorn be worth to get shot over it?
KF has opened the flood gates to trolls with their juvenile Madison and Ridgeland comments.
The Second Amendment does not include "except at malls" nor libtard owned stores.
"Danger", guns, drugs, acting out nasty mayhem are magnets for some parts of society to enjoy the thrill of witnessing and video-ing with their phones to share on social media.
"I was there, I heard the shots, I saw the bodies, I saw the cops..." is what attracts them, hence some commercial venues in shopping malls or on Capitol Street "sell" danger, they sell risk of death.
What is it about a mall that will turn an area into a crime-ridden, thug infested, dystopian wasteland shit hole!?
Ridgeland is a dangerous place.
I'm sure the woman agrees it was her Constitutional right to bring a gun into a mall.
Do the parents of this 16 year old robbing people at gunpoint go to jail?
@10:02
Right. It’s the malls

Well I do. I used to pick up a lot of fired bullets in the parking lot.

I live in Madison and totally agree with you. The daily influx of shoppers and "sightseers" from Hinds county is having a definite negative effect on the area. Some of us are thinking about moving on because of it because we know it's just going to get worse.
She must not have known it was a gun free zone. Bigger sign will fix that.
