Was Eli Dicken within his rights to be carrying his handgun on Sunday at the Greenwood Park Mall? WRTV Investigates took a look at what the 'No weapons' policy actually means.
GREENWOOD — Following the Greenwood Park Mall shooting that left three people dead and two others injured, countless people praised the quick actions of the armed civilian, who took down the gunman within seconds.
"If the sign just says 'you can't have a gun in here' then that doesn't mean anything," Kirk Freeman said. "That's not the case. We have never had that statue we have never done things that way," Freeman said.For example, a sign saying"Mall closed: No one past this point", could result in trespassing because it denies entry.
"If it says,' if you got a pistol on you, you can't enter into our establishment', then that can be deemed enough notice to prosecute under Indiana Criminal Trespass Statute. If you have a sign with a pistol and red slash through it, it doesn't mean anything — unless someone tells you to leave and you don't," Freeman said.It says"no weapons" but according to Freeman, it's just a statement of policy.
