I rarely go there anymore but I was invited to go along with some friends last nigh to dinner and a movie and it seems that all of the businesses there have "no firearms" stickers on the doors. This may have been discussed already but it was news to me. I'll definitely be more wary of taking my money to any of those businesses anymore.
I haven't been there in a week or so but my daughters drag me there often and I OC into Holister, Deliahs, Pink, Bath & Bodyworks, Justice, Claires, Abuelos, Chipotle, Five Guys, Macy's, JC Penney, Barnes & Nobles, and a few other stores that we don't frequent but we went into.
So I prefer going to PTC rather than Patrick Henry Mall since I can OC everywhere. The only place I noticed a sticker was at one of the new restaurant/bar (which I never plan to go to anyway).
People here had already confronted the management of PTC such that they understand that we are allowed to OC outside everywhere but it is up to the individual stores/restaurants to set their own policy. I would be surprised if all of them suddenly put up no-gun stickers. Can you name some of the businesses that you saw the stickers at?
