Unless they took them down, the signs are not on the doors. They're on the wall beside the doors on the left at a 90 degree angle. Big Green Sign with white letters. :mad:

That's how the signs are posted at the Katy Mills Mall as well-- immediate left on a wall at the outside entrys.

I'd have to say not exactly noticable or visable....but.. as Chas sez.... no test case here !!

I thought someone said they were posted. So I looked on purpose, but not at the walls. I can't say for sure now! I was hoping they had got "right with God" and took them down. I still carried, so I guess I had a free pass this time.

I was there on Saturday. Went in the east entrance. Did not see the sign until I got to the door and turned around. It's not visable as you are walking up to the door. Also, letter size is questionable. However, I am not willing to be the test case.

Only been there once about 2 years ago. The signs were on the wall. I didn't see, but heard they also posted at the parking lot entrance. LIBERAL SCUMBAGS :(

Read reports the parking lots of Grapevine Mills Mall are posted as well. Report said mall security looks for customers walking back to their automobiles from the doors then blocking the cars until Grapevine police arrive at which time they are processed into the system. Would NEVER go there.

I have for years been hearing about this place...

This little ditty of a story confirms there are all sorts of things wrong there, and would agree it would not be a place I would want to patronize...

Blocking my means of transportation, just because you see me come back out to my truck before going into the mall???

This place is up in the DFW area right???

Maybe someone has some type of law I am not aware of. I would not think they could do anything about your gun in the trunk as long as you did not enter their business. I don't know that I will ever go back.

The parking lot is posted at various entrances with legal 30.06 signage. You just can't read 1" letters from inside your car. You don't even see the signs unless you are looking for them.

Question has been asked about illegal detainment but there seems to be a good-ol'-boy handshake between the Mall and Grapevine PD. PD likes the fine money of course.

Since this pertains to a group that owns a lot of malls like this around the country...

I have to wonder if the Katy "Mills" Mall has the same boleros busting policy???

I don't go to Katy very often to shop...Maybe someone here knows if they do the same thing Grapevine does...

I be the BASS PRO doesn't have one ;-)

I remember an incident a while ago where we all emailed the store over a CHL having to unload his firearm and the manager told us the employee was wrong and CHLs are welcome.

The PD does not get "fine money". UCW is a county charge, and any fines collected would go to the county general fund. Criminal Trespass is a county charge, and any fines collected would go to the county. :roll:
