I live 5 minutes away from Castleton Square Mall. It is located in an affluent area on the Northside of Indianapolis and is the State's busiest and largest shopping mall. The food court described in the ad is very large and is almost always packed with people. As with any mall, it was undoubtedly packed with holiday shoppers when this idiot's gun discharged. It's statistically a miracle no one was hit.

I'm not much for "oops, sorry, didn't mean to do it" whiners. You have an accidental discharge...you lose your license. Period. No possible exceptions. Under Indiana law, he doesn't have to be charged with anything and he doesn't have to lose his license.

I couldn't disagree more.
