IANAL, but here's how I summarize the situation: a CHL is a license to carry everywhere except where specifically prohibited. Malls are not a prohibited carry location in Texas.SSwt00SS wrote:Had a conversation with an individual about shopping malls, and CC, that I would like more information on to pass along. Perhaps others are wondering as well, but maybe are hesitant to ask.
With the Holiday Shopping Season quickly approaching, are malls in the North Dallas Area (thinking North Park, Collin Creek, Stonebriar) have any posted 30.06 signs? While I have been to these malls and others, I have yet to encounter said posted notification on exterior entrances. As such, I stated that one could CC within the mall, but was unsure about individual businesses within. Again, I have yet to see any posted 30.06 signage for individual businesses within a mall. They are skeptical and believe that malls are areas that you cannot CC period.
Are there any limiting factors that I am missing or have failed to point out? Am I in error? If so could it be clarified, please. If not, any additional information that would be beneficial, please post.
Thanks guys.
If a location is not posted in compliance with 30.06, is not listed as a prohibited carry location in the penal code or federal law, and you have not been given notice by someone in charge of the premises that you can't carry, you're good to go.
