    The theater as well as the mall in King of Prussia have no-gun signs. They appeared in the last few Weeks.

    Has the world gone mad? Somehow this delusion that hanging a sign saying "Gun Free Zone" is going to keep someone out who is intent on Mass Murder? It is so lacking in common sense that it astounds me. Sorry, i just had to vent.

    Makes sense. The no-gun signs makes malls practically as safe as schools!


    Many malls don't have signs but from what I understand almost all have it in their policies. I agree with the above posts: conceal carry and if you are asked to leave, leave immediately. Private property, etc etc. It's all been said.

    I'm willing to bet it probably has something to do with civil litigation and the crazy theories behind what "could" happen.

    Like someone is carrying and his gun goes off and hits and injures someone else. They not only sue the guy with the gun but the mall as well. Well if its in their policies someone can't bring a gun then they can't be liable for anything since the guy violated their policy. Allowing people to carry guns I suppose can be perceived as a unusual danger being allowed by the owner of the property. Key word is perceive because it really doesn't make the mall anymore dangerous unless the person is there to kill everyone. I'm sure such a person doesn't really give a rats ass about no gun signs though.

    I have carried into this specific movie theater - although it was concealed... so if you are looking at carrying concealed its not like they have metal detectors or someone patting you down at the door. Also, as far as I saw, nothing was posted.

    thanks for the replies, I only carry concealed and wasn't worried about it but I just started to carry and am curious if any of the places I go frequently restrict guns like the mall

    I wouldn't be too concerned about which places "restrict" guns. For me, as long as it isn't against state or federal law, I don't even think twice about it. If for some reason I'm outed (printing/metal detector), I will apologize and just take my business else where.

    It's been said but I just carried in there concealed about three weeks ago. No problems you're good to go.
    This is all that I could fit into my signature line.

    Be advised that most malls do have a "no firearms" policy. Usually it means little, as most of the time they'll just tell you to leave, but there is, legally, the possibility of being charged for defiant trespass. I have not yet heard of an instance of this, though.
