The other statistic that emerged from a study of active killers is that they almost exclusively seek out “gun free” zones for their attacks.

In most states, concealed handguns are prohibited at schools and on college campuses even for those with permits.

Many malls and workplaces also place signs at their entrances prohibiting firearms on the premises.

Now tacticians believe the signs themselves may be an invitation to the active killers.

Not that this shocks anyone who’s paid attention to the literature.

Forty-eight states (all except Illinois and Wisconsin) allow the carrying of concealed handguns by law-abiding citizens (with varying degrees of regulation). Bloodbaths have not ensued. So: liberalize concealed-carry in precisely those places where you don’t want mass murders: schools, churches, malls, courthouses, etc.
