Does that really work, I mean the excuse that you tell your wife?

You won't see the signs at the anchor stores, only the doors where you enter the "common area". Even then, some of the signs are now on the inside portion of the mall and not posted within the proper distance etc. etc.

Today I visited the Mall of America. Entered in the back of Macy's. Didn't see any postings. (And, yes, I did look for them ) Continuing on, I was in the MOA for about six hours, through many stores (Macy's, Sears, Disney, Victoria's Secret, as well as a few others) and to Famous Dave's for lunch. All the time through, I managed to make it with my two concealed handguns. Spoke with Mall security for directions a few times, and so on, friendly group of individuals...today. I did see one individual walking to their vehicle in the ramp, and he was open carrying. I suppose he could have been an officer, but didn't look like it. (aka possibily undercover) Has the mall changed their "rules" or is it just a matter of being lucky when all goes without a created scene by the Mall? Sincerely, Timothy

The MOA was posted but was non compliant. Landlords cannot post.

That's what I have heard, and makes perfect sense, but have heard from many permit holders that they have been hasseled by the Mall security if they have seen or have "reason to believe" you have a concealed handgun, or open carried, whatever the case may be. Sincerely, Timothy

I've never heard of an incident besides Bruce's, where, if I recall, he made a deliberate effort to get "caught." Concealed means concealed, and the guards there don't have x-ray visions. If you open carry there, I'd be surprised if you didn't get hassled. Remember that essentially, any property operator can ask you to leave any facility for any or no reason.

Well, in my case, there's a reason Felicia is known as She Who Must Be Obeyed.

I see a major different from a business posting vs a non-compliant landlord posting. A business who posts I won't go in if I can avoid it. A business (tenant) of a landlord who posts should not be punished IMHO. I just conceal real well and no issues at all ever at the MOA. I could not keep my wife away even with a stick so it saves me money to go along. She and I have talked about the posting and she goes "What Idiots!"

Bad MOA/Wife Joke, told by my pastor: When I die, I want to be creamated and have my ashes flown up and spread over the Mall of America. At least that way I know my wife will visit me every once-in-a-while!! Sorry, I couldn't resist.

The MOA will hassle you if they see a gun. There is a HUGE gang problem there, and foolishly, they think that banning guns is the solution... Red

I jump at the chance to go to MOA with my fiance, she is giving me legal permission to look at all the other women out there without getting slapped!!

I carried for the first time to MOA this past weekend. Lots of goofy/scary looking people there. Glad I was armed. They do have signs posted on the walls of the main entrances. Non-compliant as far as I can tell.
