Oh. It looks like they are indeed more concerned about the hero carrying his gun than the shooter breaking the mall rule asking people not to carry. I am shocked. It's almost like they get upset whenever a citizen stops a massacre.... hmm.

The guy should go to jail for breaking the rules. Who cares that he saved many many lives.

Blue font is sarcasm for those that don't know.

What was the bad guy using to do bad things in the first place? A knife?

Doesn't surprise me in the least.

Whenever there is a good news story like this one about guns, the left and their funded propaganda sites immediately put a spin on it or deflect in some form or another to keep the narrative and their agenda going.

It is rarely if ever propaganda. News show bad things because that is what brings in viewers. Viewers bring in advertisers that pay the bills. Nobody wants to watch someone help out another person. If that is what they showed they would quickly be off the air with no viewers. The trick is finding the news channel that shows the bad things you agree with and why we all have our favorite "bad" news channel.

'It's worth it if it saves just one life', that's the motto they use, right?

Looks like the hero didn't have a concealed carry permit and was carrying under the brand new constitutional carry law in Indiana. Reportedly he had a 9mm Glock and fired 10 rounds (nowhere seems to say which model, presumably a 26, 43X or 48), at 40-50 yards. His girlfriend is a nursing student and applied tourniquets to at least one victim before LE arrived. He was cuffed and released once they saw the security tape, and immediately lawyered up. That is some very good shooting. Good for him for doing it all right and saving a lot of people.

Comments and social media seem more annoyed he ignored a sign that does not have enforcement of law than that the gunman did the same thing and murdered some innocent people. The cardinal sin among all is, almost always, not pushing the narrative. If it was about saving lives, all sides would be equally happy this gentleman took immediate action and saved lives.
