I never get tired of hearing about someone else giving the old Lance Thomas response! It sure beats going to Jared or Kays.
I wonder how soon until a sympathy-oozing reporterette interviews outraged family members complaining that the jeweler had no cause to have a gun and should have let the police they want to defund handle it.
I do wonder about the mall’s weapons policy and have not been able to find it.

It does not appear that the jewelry store owner is acting uniquely as there are several who agree with Lance Thomas:
“Other store owners at the Magic Mall told FOX 35’s Connor Hansen this is why many of them are armed.
“There’s a lot of concealed license carriers here. So if you come to the Magic Mall and you want to commit a crime, there’s a really good chance you’re gonna get shot.”
Another said, “Normally we’re good, but we have to take care of ourselves.””

I say we give that store owner a medal for saving the tax payers millions in court and incarceration expenses.
