I take a situations like this as most likely a result of insurance and lawyers for the corporations that own the malls and shopping centers.RPBrown wrote: ↑Tue Dec 13, 2022 7:31 am I had a similar situation last week. My wife needed a battery for her watch. We take our watches to a little place in the Irving Mall. I haven't been there in a few years and will not go there unarmed. There used to be notices on the doors although not valid (size, contrasting colors, English and Spanish). I noticed when I pulled up that the signs were gone from the doors. Cool. The place I go is just inside one of the entrances so I never really worried about it much. Dropped watch off and was told it would only be about 15 minutes. Okay, I will walk around a few minutes. I got out to the main walking area with stores on both sides and had walked maybe 50' and there was an upright stand alone white sign with black lettering. 30.07 english on 1 side and spanish on the other. Didn't worry about it as I was concealed anyway. Walked down to the next turn and there was another stand alone upright sign. 30.06 english on 1 side and spanish on the other. Now, IANAL but I see no way these are compliant. By then my watch should have been completed so I walked back past the signs shaking my head as I go.
Now, my question is, by the way these signs are made, are these people that stupid, are the just uninformed, or do they want to appear to be anti-2A for the leftist amongst us? Or am I mistaken that these are compliant?
They "check a box" that the signs are "up" and aren't very concerned about whether valid or not. They're just happy to be able to let the insurance carrier and their legal teams know that, 'the signs are up.' <check>
I could be wrong about my interpretation, but in my line of work, I see similar things done all the time for various types of compliance.
Regardless, I stay concealed and carry. My safety > potential misdemeanor ticket and fine.
