I suspect you're correct. Certain malls do the same thing - they preach no guns, but Ive never seen one posted. Personally, it won't stop me from carrying in one, but I understand the principle in not giving them business.
Grapevine Mills mall........posted all day long with compliant 30.06 signs, and Grapevine PD enforces.
Are the current signs at Grapevine Mills compliant? I thought they used the wrong wording.
I know GVPD
says they enforce, but I'm not aware that they have actually had to...
For a long time they were the wrong wording, and then they were updated to the correct wording. However, I don't know whether they will be on the ball to change them again for 1/1/16, when the wording requirement changes again. But that said, even when they were incorrectly worded befor, it was Grapevine PD's policy to enforce them, wrong wording or not.
I have it on good authority that a CHL holder entering through a non posted entrance, engaged a GVPD officer in conversation while waiting for their wife. Not so much as a sideways glance from the LEO. At least that is the way I heard it.
It is true that, for a time anyway, it was possible to enter the mall without seeing a sign by coming in through the anchor stores. Also, possibly the individual officers were not interested in enforcing it, but the
official policy was that they certainly would. Keith B had an exchange of letters with GVPD in which the Chief clearly stated the position, without equivocation. Granted, concealed is concealed, so as long as your friend wasn't OCing, the risk was low. All I'm saying is that there existed an intent to enforce, even when the signs were invalid, and when some of the entrances weren't posted.
