Should this type of sign be reported?

Report it to whom? This sign is NOT illegal. It is not enforceable, but it is not illegal to post it.

If you were to report it to the shopping center they might decide to post a proper sign.

If the sign was posted on a government owned building it would be a different matter.

IMO, keep it to yourself.

Since the sign has no legal standing why would it be a different matter if it's government owned and it doesn't refer to section 30.06? The reason I asked, and haven't gotten an answer, is because Dallas has this type of sign on all of its Love Field Airport's main entrances (for the unsecured areas).

It is not legal for government owned buildings to be posted. I believe that this applies to any type of gun buster sign, but IANAL.

I believe that the signs at Love Field have been discussed in another thread.

GC §411.209. WRONGFUL EXCLUSION OF CONCEALED HANDGUN

from entering or remaining on a premises or other place owned or leased by
the governmental entity unless license holders are prohibited from carrying a
handgun on the premises or other place by Section 46.03 or 46.035, Penal Code
