I had to go to the mall yesterday to get a new cell phone. I had been in the verizon store for quitea while and had just stepped out and went to the food court to get a drink while they worked on my phone. As i had just finished getting my drink and started back toward the Verizon store I was stopped by the security guard.
He asked me if I was a LEo and I told him no. He then asked me if I had my concealed, I responded no (i am not 21 yet). He then told me that I needed to either conver up my sidearm or put it in my truck. I asked him if that was the malls policy and where there was a sign stating that I needed to do such a thing. He said there wasn't. He told me that he didn't like me carrying around my sidearm and thus wanted me to put it away.
I didn't argue with the man, I just went back to the verizon store and picked up my phone and left.
I just wonder where he gets the right to have me do something, just becuase he doesn't like it. As far as i know there are no posted rules at the Univeristy Mall stating I can not carry. This wasn't even my first time ocing there. I have carried there mulitple times.
Anyway, just thought I would share my intetesting experience. I plan to carry there again, and if or when he approaches me, i will ask to speak to managment and find out the policies.
