Is there a final answer on whether or not the mall is posted 30.06?

Go to the Northeast Mall in Hurst, which is about 20 minutes south (by freeway) from the Grapevine Mills Mall, and it isn't posted. It has pretty much everything that GVM has, and what it doesn't have, it has an equivalent attraction. I live in Grapevine, and I have successfully avoided GVM for years.....ever since I first got my CHL in fact.

BTW, the local police blotter list a LOT of incidents at GVM. You know what a lot of them are? Vehicle break-ins. Why? Guess what people have to leave in their cars when they go inside? Guess who's watching for someone that looks like they are unholstering and putting something in the glovebox/center console/under seat?

And, under a written information request from Mike B (one of our moderators) a few years back when the signs were NOT compliant, it was the GVPD's stated policy to enforce the GVM signs as if they were compliant. I hate malls anyway, but so long as I have to go to one for any reason, I give my dollars to the stores located in the mall with enough sense to not post 30.06 signs. And for me (located in GV, but right on the border between GV, Colleyville, and Euless), it is an equidistant drive to either mall.

Well, I'm sure that I can count on LE being able to immediately be there to provide support

Good one, but they are properly posted. Well, they were the last time I could not get out of going there a few months ago. And so is the theater, I think. Be careful, though, the signs do not appear to be of correct size, but I think they may meet the defined requirements. I say that they don't appear to at first glance because they are smaller than we would normally be accustomed. However, I think they have been able to shrink the size somewhat by using a narrow font, while still keeping the block style lettering 1" high.

Not every entrance to the mall is posted, and they don't have to be either. Years ago they had the large metallic monstrosities outside each main mall entrance with incorrect language and I carried there anyway.
