You should never attempt to touch your handgun or visually threaten anyone with it unless you are sure that your life is in danger. OC'ers trying to intimidate someone is the reason that a lot of people dislike open carry. The mere presence of your gun should had been enough to scare the thugs off if they had ill intentions.
So according to one of the mall cops here at northlake it is illegal to open carry. When asked why it wasn't posted he answered "well this is private property it doesn't have to be you're not allowed to carry that here" I've locked the weapon up in my car and will be debating this point further when I find a new or the same mall cop.
Has anyone on here every OCd at the Wal Mart in Dunn or Fuquay? I havent OCd in a big chain store like that but was would like to though. Still feeling the waters out with this.
E.J.
I don't think I would waste time debating it with a mall cop whether the same or a different one. I would go above their head and talk with management so that they can pass the word down to their employees on whether you can OC or not. Just remember to debate respectfully. Good Luck.
I have never seen any mall posted. But then again I always go in through one of the anchor store doors.
I also CCed when going to the mall.
The reason why, I don't see any signage, I wont ask IF I can carry, My firearm is CC. Nobody can see it, nobody will tell me I can't carry because they don't know I'm carrying.
I am safe and armed at the mall.

Most malls have a policy of NO weapons of any type regardless of permit. Private property, their rules.

I have been to Northlake several times, I haven't Open Carried, but did conceal. I am NOT going into that mall without a weapon.
It does have it's rules posted at the entrance by the Theater on the right when you walk in. Here is the copy, take note of the very last comment, the ol'great catch all (why I conceal there).....

Maybe my eyes aren't working correctly, but I see nothing on that list pertaining to firearms CC or OC. Am I missing something??
" I would go above their head and talk with management so that they can pass the word down to their employees"
Right, you don't. It is the end statement that ties into what you said.
It is not posted and the management will rule on it when confronted with the decision.
