The time has come to recognize that “Gun Free Zones” are only Gun Free for law abiding citizens. Perhaps a better sign would be “Unarmed Victim Zone”. There is a sporting goods store here with a sign that states “concealed weapons are prohibited, Except for persons with a valid carry concealed weapon permit”.
I suspect all criminal elements would be less inclined to launch an attack at a location with this sign or one similar. “Gun Free Zone” signs Do Not Stop Criminals or Psychopaths.

Omaha mall shooting update

OMAHA, Neb. – The teenage gunman who went on a shooting rampage in a department store may have smuggled an assault rifle into the mall underneath clothing, police said Thursday.

Police Chief Thomas Warren said the young man “appeared to be concealing something balled up in a hooded sweat shirt” he was carrying, according to a surveillance video.

Moments later, as gunshots rang out over Christmas music, those at Westroads Mall huddled in dressing rooms and barricaded themselves in offices as the shooter, 19-year-old Robert A. Hawkins, sprayed the third floor of Von Maur with gunfire. When the shooting was over, Hawkins killed himself.

His victims included six store employees and two customers, police said.

The customers killed included Gary Scharf, 48 of Lincoln and John McDonald, 65, of Council Bluffs, Iowa.

The employees killed included Angie Schuster, 36, of Omaha; Maggie Webb, 24; Janet Jorgensen, 66 of Omaha; Diane Trent, 53 of Omaha; Gary Joy, 56 of Omaha; and Beverly Flynn, 47, of Omaha.

Hi, I work for an international discussion programme called World Have Your Say on BBC World Service radio and today (Thursday) we will be discussing whether the media should refuse to give publicity to serial killers like Richard Hawkins, who said in a suicide note that he wanted to become famous. We were wondering if you were interested in taking part in the discussion, which will be live on radio between 6pm and 7pm London time (1 to 2pm East Coast Time in the States). Please send me your phone numbers to martin.vennard@bbc.co.uk and briefly say what you think about the question or call me on +442075570635 and I will call you straight back.

Many thanks
