Sometimes we get caught up in these discussions over the validity of signs and the possible consequences of being detected and prosecuted and loose sight of why most of us have CHLs in the first place. While the statistics are a couple of years old, I'm guessing that they don't change much, year to year.C-dub wrote: And I agree with yours and JimLongley's and ChamberC's posts right before yours. I have carried into the Grapevine Mill Mall even before the Chief acknowledged that sign was wrong, but still arrest anyone found carrying in there and before he said it would be up to the responding officer. I knew my chances and knew I was also well enough concealed that the only likely was I was going to be discovered was if I had to use it. I am a little conservative on my approach to situations like this because, like most CHLees, I am an honest law abiding citizen and try to do my best to stay that way, which is another reason this part hasn't been better defined by any ruling in a court yet. The GVMM signs are not correct. If they were, I wold not even push my luck entering a satellite store that was not posted. That's just my choice.

Of the top six locations for crime in Grapevine, two are posted 30.06 (Grapevine Mills Mall and Gaylord Texan) I haven't personally seen the Gaylord signs but I presume them to be correct where the GMM ones are obviously incorrect. It shouldn't be surprising to anyone that the Mall is seen as a target by criminals. While I typically avoid the mall like any other place that tells me that they don't want my business, if I did go there and did carry, it wouldn't be because I was trying to flaunt walking past an invalid sign but because I viewed the environment as a possible safety risk and I was unwilling to allow someone who showed a disregard for the laws as written to stop me from protecting myself. I would not consider carrying at the Gaylord.
