No, no. The Goobermint doesn't pay for the guards - the goobermint needs to keep its fat nose out of commerce, period.
But if a mall owner (corporation) wants to put up "No Guns Allowed" signs, then it would be required by law to provide the security that lawful gun possession would have provided. Ditto for theaters and churches. Schools would be local government, of course. If such a mall or theater doesn't want to pay for guards, then don't put up the sign.
Better yet, put up a sign that says, "Licensed concealed weapons welcome here." I can guarantee you that place would never have a nutso shooter. Security for free.
