    Another scenario.

    Good guy goes into the bathroom and surprises bad guy already in bathroom. The bad guy tries to attack good guy but good guy manages to subdue or knock out bad guy and take his rifle. he does not see the other guns in a stall. He does not want to leave the rifle with the bad guy so he takes it and leaves the bathroom. Now you have a good guy with a rifle leaving the bathroom just like the bad guy was before. Good guy is understandably uncomfortable with the rifle in a mall so maybe he clumsily tries to hide it, maybe he nervously fumbles around with how to carry it, whatever. He probably will not look calm and harmless.

    This does not change any information that Eli would have seen - some guy coming out of bathroom with an AR-15 rifle.

    To stop any rumors, here is what is known: At approximately 5pm today, 4 males entered the Greenwood Park Mall and fired 6 shots into 1 person. They then fled in a truck. It was NOT an active shooter. It "appears" to be a targeted hit.

    Police have shot and killed people in basically that exact circumstance and been ruled entirely justified.

    There is no legitimate reason for someone to have a rifle in hand in a mall. Far as I'm concerned you're fair game to get engaged by anyone who can, on the spot. Sorry not sorry. We all know what mass shooters are, so don't act like one.

    I know it's early, but WTHR just said that Greenwood Police said that nobody was hit. :dunno:

    Seeing live footage of the police presence and it is right outside the food court entrance (same place the last shooting took place).

    I was not finding anything on it. Beginning to think I was hearing things. :n00b:

    Section 32. The people shall have a right to bear arms, for the defense of themselves and the State.
    Correct but I should have specified "force", that is on me. If you were on the stand and you were asked about use of force to protect yourself from a crime, what would you testify to? Our Constitution allows us to be armed but says noting about what conditions/situations would be legally allowed.
