i was in Greenville today, and decided to stop in the Mall. I drove by the entries, and didn't see any "circle slash" no guns signs, so I parked my vehicle, and walked up to the door. Off to the side of the doors on a side window, was a 11x17 sign, grey background with red, white, and black lettering that was entitled "Code of Conduct". At the very bottom of this sign, it said "No weapons of any kind are allowed on Mall property."
So I turned around, went back to my vehicle, drove across the street and parked. I stashed my firearm and extra magazine in the safe in my vehicle (but kept my Serpa holster on my belt) and walked back to the mall.
I then found a Mall map, and located the Mall Office.
I walked to the mall office, and introduced myself to the Marketing Manager who was sitting at the front desk. I handed her one of my "No Firearms = No Money" cards, and explained that I would not be spending any money on their property, and would be posting on OCDO that their Mall was not "friendly" for people who wanted to excercise their legal 2A rights, and that I wished they would reconsider their position on legally-owned and carried firearms. I then told her that if they weren't willing to reconsider their position, they should at the very least, post more easily visible signs (like a standard "circle slash" sign) that could be easily seen from the parking lot.
She was very cordial, and said she would forward my concerns to the owner. Another manager came out and told me that "You know we are ALL packing at home," to which I replied, "yes, but that pistol in your safe at home isn't going to do you much good when some hoodlum comes up to you in the parking lot after dark, now is it..."
I left, and went somewhere else to spend my money...
Greenville Mall is owned by "Jones Lang Lasalle", an international commercial real estate management company. They have offices in London, New York, Germany and China....
Greenville Mall, Greenville NC: F/C
("F" for not allowing any sort of carry, "C" for their cordial attitude and willingness to listen to my concerns)
