Check this out (Woodland Hills Mall carry incident)

[OUfan08]

Gun and knife laws are subject to interpretation. Unfortunately they are going to interpret it different than you. Defending yourself and exercising the 2nd comes at a cost. Litigation and confiscation along with arrest seem to be the norm now. I don't carry anymore because of divorce and custody issues. To the system I'm a right wing zealot who has been trained by the military. We call ourselves vets but we are looked at as terrorist who haven't terrorized yet.

Not really at least not in Oklahoma the SDA list 7 places you are prohibited from carrying, and the private property is not one of them. Otherwise what would be the point of carrying?

 

[POSITIVE DISCONTENT]

Think you missed my point. I agree with you but you are guilty until proven innocent and if you ever have to use your carry on private property (large businesses) it doesn't matter how many lives you save you will be sued.

No offense to the OP, but I'm thinking there is more to this story. I'm not ready to buy into it all.

That was the whole story, I'm dead serious. I wouldn't lie or leave anything out. I'm telling the honest truth. But believe whatever you want.

were you carrying in the mall?

We were in the parking lot at the time, but yes I had been in the mall previously and had my gun on me. But that doesn't matter the mall is not prohibited place under the SDA.

i was under the impression that it was illegal to carry in the mall

You'd think between TPD, TCSO and the mall ninjas that somebody would know the law redarding SDA.
I don't think I'd patronize the mall anymore and I'd tell them why every chance I got. For what it's worth, I'd prolly also contact some official at both agencies as to what happened.
Glad it turned out ok.

Maybe Paul Blart shouldn't have been involved anyway. I went into the sheriff substation in Quail Springs Mall in OKC and asked them about carrying a concealed weapon. They said, go ahead its legal. This is another case of somebody else breaking the law and the law abiding gun owner getting hassled.

I keep this bookmarked on my phone. But essentially it's government buildings, schools, govt meetings, gambling places, and resturaunts where the primary purpose is to sell alcohol.

It does expressly say that a private property owner can not prohibit you from transporting a firearm in a car, in my CC class we were given a list of 10 places. Even the BA police officer who taught us said that the ghostbuster signs carry no legal weight under SDA.
