Imagine being in the Men's room doing your business when someone has an AD right outside the door!

Re: You can't open carry at the mall
I had something similar happen to me years ago at a pittsburgh mall. No signs on the door we came in through or the door they escorted me out to. I understand it's private property but not posting NO FIREARMS makes it subjective or whoever's working at the time's opinion on whether they should make the person leave. I don't open carry anymore because I don't care for attracting attention.

Re: You can't open carry at the mall
That case hinged on how the State Constitution of California was written and interpreted by the California Supreme Court. And neither court said that malls weren't private property. They just said that in California, as proscribed by the state constitution, common areas of malls are public forums for expressive conduct, but they are still private property. Furthermore, that doesn't apply outside of California, because the Supreme Court made a decision based on the California Constitution and how it was written. That does not apply to any other states constitution, especially as no other state supreme court has made a similar ruling.
You would not win that case.

Re: You can't open carry at the mall
I'll probably catch some flack, but I don't care.
I don't think malls/stores should be considered private property when it comes to restricting rights.
My home is private property. I don't allow the public to just come in during designated hours. I'm not "open" between 9AM and 9PM.
A store, and a mall, need the public to come in. Heck, they compel it with advertising and such.
