In the mean time, the odds of home invasion or a robbery are so slim that is unlikely to happen - do you know anyone who's house was broken into when they were in it, or do you know anyone who's house was involved in a home invasion? I'm forty-four years old and oddly enough, I don't know one person who has ever gone through this. The odds of me shooting a family member by accident is much greater.

Call the mall and ask if you can carry a concealed weapon in it. Let us know. If you can, you are going to be less likely that a high body count kill will happen there.
I have a hard time believing your "I own a gun and am trained" but say you are against having one for defending your home because you may shoot your kid. Why do you have a gun again? I don't know anyone personally who's house has flooded, but I have flood insurance.
Those shoot a family member statistics I don't buy it. How many people do you know personally that own a gun? How many have accidentally killed a family member. They use Gang statistics to skew that number. You believe them, yet you claim to own a gun. Sure you do.
