This can be thrown in the lounge if its not suitable for this sub forum.

Interesting scenario as it's presented. It's happened before and unfortunately will happen in the future. There is nothing we can do to prevent this, we can only be prepared and have the will to survive.

Interesting tactics that the host of the show used.
How many of us carrying would use these tactics to make our way to safety?
Do you think they are plausible or will get you killed>?

I think overall the host made a pretty good attempt at turning unarmed sheep into possible survivors.

A mall shooting would be a quick way to vastly improve the intelligence of the population.

Seriously, though...since nearly every mall has a "no guns" policy, it would be a prime kill zone for some psycho or terrorist. One would only hope that there were plenty of good guys who decided to violate mall policy and were competent in their firearm usage.

Sounds like a good movie, though...

This could never happen. Gecko45's team would protect us and get everything 5 by 5 before any of us would even notice.

I've been watching this show too.

Last ep i saw was the home invasion. I like how he shows various ways to do things...cuz they dont always work out. Like when a couple people did escape from the home, but were immediately recaptured by a bad guy stationed outside.

i havent seen the mall ep yet.

And when all the sheep were safe because of those good guys, those good guys will prepare themselves for a long time in court due to illegally posessing a firearm on mall property and potentially harming many other citizens.
The way of our justice system.

I dont think the mall i shop at has a self defence free rule

**4XLT** · October 20th, 2009, 02:18 PM

i saw this episode last week and thought it was ok...

1 i dont think the terrorists would walk around for an hour finding people to kill.. most likely they would come in find a crowded spot, open fire and move around very little then leave !!

2 i was wondering where mall security was, since i cant defend myself isnt it their responsibility to protect me ?? ...
