This seems no different that any other mall. (which I hate but suffer through for my daughters)

It says on the sign that you will be asked to leave first so if I carry and they determine that fact and ask me to leave I will leave.

I know but I like to carry larger guns even CC-ing. So sometimes I print or sometimes my shirt might not cover the barrel all the way while moving around.

Jim, I remember you have quite the "harem" to choose from... Remember I had a USP, too. I got rid of it because it was WAY too big & heavy for me to CC in the summer. I noticed when I carried it (either OC or CC), I always had a backache at the end of the day. It was a WONDERFUL range gun, though. Great trigger job and very accurate. I loved shooting it. You know I'm a fellow .45 'nut' and can't remember meeting a .45 I didn't like. H&K does very nice work, but I had to go with something smaller and lighter than my USP, so I invested in the Kimber. I don't have any regrets. Its a wonderful piece of art. I'm also confident with the LCR-357 as a BUG. I can shoot it quickly and accurately with good self-defense loads. It doesn't have the most pleasant "range manners", but it wasn't meant to be fun at the range.

Now that I've digressed... Remember when Bridget and I were OCing at Patrick Henry Mall and a small child noticed Bridget's Glock 21 in the food court? The child told everyone in the food court (and a few more in the surrounding stores) "SHE GOT A GUN, MOMMA! SHE GOT A GUN!!!"

We thought we had evaded quickly and quietly with enough stealth to continue our shopping, but about 15 minutes later, we were surrounded by unarmed mall-cops and escorted all the way to my car. Bridget quipped "They're just jealous I have a pistol and they don't." The mall-cops were probably annoyed by my inability to walk fast enough for their taste, too.
