"I am a police officer in New York City. We hear about how little training security guards have and other areas about them. I would be proud to have this person as my partner anytime at any place.
She did better than most of the people I work with."

What stopped this incident from getting worse?
A person who know how to shoot, had a firearm, and the training to help her survive and end this battle.
If she were an 'un-armed' security guard, she would have been a un-armed
dead security guard!

Oh my LORD next will have armed security and ccw's at malls, movie theaters, restaurants, and bowling allies. Too bad it will take a bunch of terrorist going to the Mall of America. I'm sure the gun free zone signs will make them turn back and change there ways. Then maybe we can start to be safe.

Female here from South Carolina. Won't catch me anywhere without my .38 in my bag. There are bad people all around & sometimes good people get stressed out and become bad people. I only know that my mind & my pistol will give me better odds of getting out of a danger than to call & wait for the police, or be in a location where they told me not to carry my gun because it is a 'gun free' zone but, the criminal didn't care. Not me. Rather go down shooting than be pushed into a trunk.

I love reading about all the cwp holders and the constant good they do, I only wish I didnt live in a state (NJ) where its practically impossible to get a cwp, but to all those who do carry and do so legally I praise you!!

A few years back in Murfreesboro, Tennessee during a Sunday Church service, two masked robbers came into the church and robbed everybody & the donation boxes. Since then, almost all the parishinoer's tote a pistol in church. No more robbries since that time.

This lady did the right thing, by all that is taught in the Bible, and I praise God that He was with her as she did her duty! Let us be quick to note that the Omaha mall had unarmed security guards and the gunman maintained complete control for as long as he wanted to. Praise God for a pastor in Denver who was smart enough to realize that the Lord expects us to take an interest in our own safety, and he provided protection for those under his charge with this magnificent lady.

As a former police officer, retired USAF Security Police, and an
unarmed security officer in Tennessee I applaud the Lady in Colorado for a "Job Well Done". There should be more like her today. My wife and I both plan on our CWP's to be completed shortly.

For those who think they need permits to carry a concealed weapon,
please note: the Bill of Rights (2nd amendment to our Constitution)
guarantees you the right to keep and bear (that means carry, folks)
arms. The Supreme Court declared in Murdock v. Pennsylvania (1943) that
a state "may not convert a constitutionally protected right into a
privilege by issuing a license or charging a fee." Shuttlesworth v.
Birmingham, Alabama (1962) claimed that if a state did so, one could
"ignore the requirement and exercise the right with impunity."
"Permits? We don' need no steenkin' permits!"
