Here's a copy of the text of an e-mail I just sent to Von Maur:

Please forward this to the appropriate policy-makers in your company.
The outcomes from the three shooting incidents this week--the one at your store in Omaha and the two in Colorado--are strikingly different.
At New Life Church, an armed security guard intervened, and ended a tragedy quickly. At your store, relying on a "no weapons" policy and unarmed guards, eight died before the perpetrator committed suicide.
Clearly, the conventional wisdom offered by your security policy makers is of no value for deterrence or for resolution: Criminals will not obey the law, much less signs, and your customers are further prevented effective self-defense by your no weapons policy.
You have some reflection to do about your store policies--and even more importantly, about the assumptions made about the need to prevent law-abiding citizens with a 'carry permit' from being armed on your premises.
