Using an ancient Captain Midnight secret decoder ring at Warp speed,
Lyle Knox, sent the following message to Rd Thompson:

It is the second paragraph on the back of your CCW license.  The one
that states:
"This permit DOES NOT authorize you to carry a prohibited weapon as
defined by law.  This permit DOES NOT authorize you to carry a weapon
into an establishment prohibiting weapons."
BTW, most malls or stores do have door that is not posted.  One can
always enter that way, plead ignorance when (and if) informed by store
management, and then leave the store.  :^)
LK> FWIW, I was in Fiesta Mall a couple weeks back when I saw a large man 
ith
LK> his wife and 2.3 kids strolling into Sears from the mall entrance 
sporting a
LK> full-sized Glock carried openly.  As he was heading into Sears (which, 
like
LK> all the anchors with external doors, is unposted)
Ahhh, I see you already know that.  :^)  
LK> the security guys simply
LK> informed him that there were no weapons allowed in the mall.  All this as 
I
LK> was sitting not 20 feet away with my Sig in my Galco fanny pack...  :-)
I tend to use fanny packs from other than gun companies.  The last
thing that I need is a *NEON* advertizing sign on it from one of the
gun companies.  I keep my Glock 27 in a small leather holster (that
covers the trigger) inside my pack.
Sleep well tonight, Lyle....
