Recently I was with my wife at the South HIll Mall in Puyallup. We had bought her shoes, coffe pot, anyways... While talking with a real estate agent in a Kiosk I was approached by an elderly mall cop. The Mall cop asked me why I had a gun on me. I stated because 2A, washington constituion, as well as RCW 9.14.... He stated he knew it was legal but why did I have it on me banghead.
About this time he radio'ed to his Mall Cop fortress(located by the foodcourt which doesnt serve donuts). After asking me very politely if I would cover it up because it might make some shoppers nervous I said no problem. A darker skinned woman(apparently his supervisor) came strolling up and the mall cop told her what was going on to which she responded "Yeah I know, I saw him earlier." I told the elderly mall cop that I didnt realize it was an issue and the mall should have that posted. He said he would look into it.
So after he wandered off to go change his dentures... I found the security office and asked the darker skinned woman(supervisor) if they had any actual written policy on no OC. She handed me a card stating that "Weapons of ANY kind are prohibited." The kind lady said she doesnt really care since washington state law says I can. Oddly enough the only sign is right in front of the security office.
On a side not I am considering writing the owners a letter since Big 5, as well as Dicks sporting goods both sell firearms and pocket knives, as well as some cutlery places sell fantasy knives and swords. So the mall is leasing to vendors who openly sell "Contraband" per their contract, and unless you see the Old guy wandering around, the mall cops are pro-2!
P.S I say darker skinned not to be offensive but rather because to my knowledge the other 3 females are fair skinned. So if you see this lady wave to her!
