They are not ALL posted, but there is one at the main entrance off the highway.

FWIW, I had heard that Grapevine Mills was 30.06 posted at the parking lot entrances and mall entrances and had not ever planned to go there.

If you will read my post above you will see that I drove out there the other day specifically to investigate this rumor.

Grapevine Mills is NOT posted at the parking lot.

Good news and bad news.

I drove out to Grapevine Mills. My wife's new camera did not store the pics.

Regarding the parking lots. There are no signs posted about firearms. I checked every entrance to mall property from a public street. I checked the parking lots, looking at the light poles and signs.

The doors themselves are not posted; however, to the side, on a wall perpendicular to the doors is a HUGE 30.06 compliant sign. It is a blue background with white letters.

You can take your handgun in your vehicle, but not within the mall.

I am going to drive to Grapevine Mills Mall today. I am taking my digital camera. Hopefully we can put this to bed today.

Report said mall security looks for customers walking back to their automobiles from the doors then blocking the cars until Grapevine police arrive at which time they are processed into the system. Would NEVER go there.

Maybe someone has some type of law I am not aware of. I would not think they could do anything about your gun in the trunk as long as you did not enter their business. I don't know that I will ever go back.

The parking lot is posted at various entrances with legal 30.06 signage. You just can't read 1" letters from inside your car. You don't even see the signs unless you are looking for them.

Question has been asked about illegal detainment but there seems to be a good-ol'-boy handshake between the Mall and Grapevine PD. PD likes the fine money of course.

The PD does not get "fine money". UCW is a county charge, and any fines collected would go to the county general fund. Criminal Trespass is a county charge, and any fines collected would go to the county.
