Wait a min... you're saying the mall bans guns?
I've never seen a sign at any mall in my life!
Maybe its because my daughter always has my attention when she runs away from me.. its usually at the entrance.

That said, I use one of two entrances at Burnsville Center, Sears or Dick's Sporting Goods. I have yet to see any signage at either of those entrances. So, even if the mall was legally allowed to restrict carry, their postings would be invalid, because the law requires that they post all entrances to the building.

OR do we as card holders simply disregard the signs and shop as we please. Only to force them (mall officials and or police) to ask us to leave?

Yes.. lets start harassing the mall owners to the point that they contact the legislature, as they have just a bit of pull with their tax money and the number of jobs at said mall, and get the law changed so they can post.. maybe even make it a crime to walk past the sign, just for good measure to keep those troublemaker gun carriers out..
There's a saying that the squeaky wheel gets fixed, but there's also the inverse... the quacking duck gets shot..

So why are they allowed to enforce it?
Yes each store has to post then it is enforceable. but not the mall themselves. So how does the mall get away with enforcing it?

At least he didn't say the squeaky wheel gets greased.

Were you escorted out of a mall for carrying? I haven't heard of wide-spread "enforcement" of their bans by mall security rent-a-cops.

I see no recent evidence that they are making a point to throw people out who are concealing. I'm sure we'd have heard about it occasionally if they were.
