Mall Security Question

[warren5421]

If Mall Security asks you if you are carrying do you have to answer truthfully?

You can always lie.
Can it lead to leo asking you? Maybe.

Wouldn't be suprised if they would just ask you to take it to your car.

If they figure out you are, I'd bet it would be a "don't come back"

Sorry....I couldn't get past "mall security".

If Mall Security asks you if you are carrying do you have to answer truthfully?

A better question might be, what do you think will happen if you don't answer truthfully?

 

[gassprint1]

If its concealed good, I'd tell them no. If it's a leo doing mall security, then they are acting as a private citizen and not a cop, so it's not lieing to a cop.

 

[warren5421]

the cop part is why I asked

the cop part is why I asked

Only reason a cop to get involved is if security asks you to leave and you don't.

Did this happen to you? (I couldn’t tell you the last time I’d been inside a mall, BTW).

I haven’t been to the UP Mall in awhile, but I admit that I always enjoy going. I hang at the Barnes &Noble, cruise the Apple Store. there are often lots of pretty young Notre dame coeds. I still miss Sears.

First one was great, the sequel was just…weird.

I live on the East Side. Washington Square.....Everyone is carrying.
No reason to go there unless I need a Gold chain ,a Cell phone or some braids. Which I dont........
I do miss MCL though.

Okay. Here's how the conversation should go:

"Mail security" () : Uh, excuse me sir, are you carrying a firearm?

Armed citizen: I don't answer questions.

Mail security: I see it printing. Is that a firearm?

Armed citizen: Am I being detained?

Mail Security: I'm not a cop, I'm just asking if that's a firearm. Firearms aren't allowed on U.S.P.S property.

Armed citizen: I don't answer questions.

Mail Security: Look. It's not legal to carry a firearm in a post offi---cuts off

Armed citizen: Am I being detained?

Mail Security: No, I'm just asking if---cuts off

Armed citizen: Do you have reasonable articulable suspicion that a crime has been committed?

Mail Security: I don't know what that means. I just see what looks like a handgun printing from your shirt. I just wanted to---cuts off again

Armed citizen: What's your name and badge number?

Mail Security: I'm not a cop, I'm a security guard. They pay me ****. I'm just asking because that looks like you have a hand gu---gets cut off again

Armed citizen: I want to speak to your supervisor.

Mail Security: Well, she's out on lunch break, and then she said she has to run to another post office because we're out of stamps to sell. Why do you need to talk to the branch manager? She's not a cop either.

Armed citizen: Am I being detained? Do you suspect me of committing a crime?

Mail Security: Yes, that looks like a gu...cuts off

Armed citizen: Am I free to go?

History has proven mall “security” is like a bad joke! Deep CC is your best bet for self safety IF you must waste your time and go to a hood rat mall.

I haven't been inside a post office in years. I never have any business there that causes me to go.

Not sure how the post office got involved in a thread about MALL security...

We're talking about malls. Where did post offices come into play?
