the genessee valley mall (over 2500 people?)

how about the Deja vu strip club (liqour free)
What does the mall policy state?

What does the club policy state?

You must remember... both of these places are private property. They retain the right to restrict firearms on there property unless otherwise stated in corporate policy.

well the mall isnt an enertainment facility,and wouldnt be subject to the laws regarding the 2500+ thing.

so its entirely on they're policy,note that most malls arent OC friendly,i havent heard of one,but hey go in and shop,if they dont like it the worse they can do is ask you to leave.

deja vu....as far as i know is also only going to matter on policy,unless theres a law specifically referring to strip clubs.

hold on guys. the 2500 thing refers specifically to [seating capacity], just because there may be 2500 people there is irrelevant.

I opencarry at great lakes crossing all the time. I spoke to head of security, and he told me that they know IUm there, and they respect my rights, as long as no one complains, there wont be an issue, if so, then they would ask me to conceal if I have a CPL, or put it in my car. They said they will deal with it on a case by case basis, so they can continue to allow OC. This means that if I get called out today, I am welcome to OC tomorrow.

Genesee Valley Mall has a no firearms policy. It is legal to carry there until you've been asked to leave and don't.It's posted on the wall with their rules of conduct near at least one entrance. When I saw it, I refused to set foot inside ever again. Just an observation with an opinion.


Better??


Criminy folks. It's a conversation, bound to be ripe with personality and opinion.

Maybe we can utilize their willingness to work with OC for good. Perhaps we can do a lunch and learn for the security team so they can address a patrons fears in a logical manner.If this proves successful it can be a benchmark to point to when talking with different organizations.

Just because there is a sign it is irrelevant. Michigan unlike Texas does not have any no carry sign legislation. The only thing out there pertains to only entertainment facilities and is based on seating capasity only. As for private property rights at the worst they can ask you to leave but if you concealed there nobody would know in the first place. Normally open carry isnt even noticed.

I understand the legal issues perfectly. I also understand that if they believe my legal possession of a firearm on their property is bad, my spending money on their property is not going to happen. They don't want my guns, they don't want my money. Too bad for them, no great loss to me.
Principle, Mike, principle.

Guys what Mike was doing was just clarifying the legal aspect... while some of you are clarifying the moral aspect...

They don't have anything to do with one another really. Sometimes I have to go in places where OC is not permitted but CC is ... While I would rather not spend my money there sometimes it is unavoidable.. I have learned to pick my battles.

However for others reading this the legal issues may not be as well understood so they bear repeating.

Yep, their rule is no firearms, period! Regardless of CC or OC. How you proceed is up to you.
Could you please cite a law that would be violated if a person did OC/CC in either location?

If you were to be forced to defend yourself in such a place:

By tresspassing you are in the act of committing a crime, therefore...

780.972 Use of deadly force by individual not engaged in commission of crime; conditions.

Sec. 2.

(1) An individual who has not or is not engaged in the commission of a crime at the time he or she uses deadly force may use deadly force against another individual anywhere he or she has the legal right to be with no duty to retreat if either of the following applies:

(a) The individual honestly and reasonably believes that the use of deadly force is necessary to prevent the imminent death of or imminent great bodily harm to himself or herself or to another individual.

(b) The individual honestly and reasonably believes that the use of deadly force is necessary to prevent the imminent sexual assault of himself or herself or of another individual.

(2) An individual who has not or is not engaged in the commission of a crime at the time he or she uses force other than deadly force may use force other than deadly force against another individual anywhere he or she has the legal right to be with no duty to retreat if he or she honestly and reasonably believes that the use of that force is necessary to defend himself or herself or another individual from the imminent unlawful use of force by another individual.

The sign is the owner forbidding your entrance while armed.

This can be debated, and it is a given that charges merely for tresspassing are unlikely unless you refuse a verbal command due to no legislation specific to obediance of such signs.

I would caution to put this to the Kim Worthy test though. Especially if you were forced to defend yourself.
