I have excellent news. It appears the gentleman at the door was misinformed on company policy. I just received the e-mail below from the store manager:
Let me first apologize for the misunderstanding and clearly state what our policy is for firearms entering the building:
All known firearms entering the building whether for range use or gunsmithing or simple scope mounting are required to be checked to insure the firearm is unloaded and then a trigger lock is placed on the firearm for its travel throughout the building to insure the safety of all customer and associates at Bass Pro Shops. You would be surprised how many customers have claimed their firearm is not loaded and upon checking, it is in fact is! The lone exception to this is if a customer comes in carrying a concealed handgun on their person and is licensed to carry that concealed firearm. We will not ask to see the firearm, because technically it is a concealed gun and we have no right to ask. We will also not check or lock any duty piece a licensed enforcement officer may me carrying as a duty or off duty weapon. Any other firearm that enters the building, other than the previous mentioned exception will be checked and a trigger lock applied as you duly noted for safety reason.
It appears our associate was incorrect in how you were dealt with and we will retrain the associate and correct the problem. Our associate made a mistake, and I again apologize for that. It is our only intention to insure the safety of all people in our building, customers and associates, have the confidence they are in a safe environment.
I hope this clarifies our position and answers any concerns you may have. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of any help or you wish to discuss this more. I can be reached at 972-691-5201.
Sincerely,
David Battye

Re: Katy Mills Mall & Bass Pro Shops
Nope. Found this posted on the Simon Properties page:gamboolman wrote:So it must still be the same owner as yawl have been having ongoing discussions with???
On March 29, 2007, SPG and Farallon announced that together with shares owned by funds managed by Farallon, approximately 96.8% of the outstanding common shares of The Mills Corporation had been tendered and were accepted for payment. In the merger, all outstanding common shares of The Mills Corporation were converted into the right to receive the same $25.25 in cash per share as paid in the tender offer, without interest.
The portfolio is comprised of two distinctive types of assets -- regional malls and Mills properties -- totaling over 45 million square feet of gross leasable area. A Mills property typically comprises well over one million square feet of gross leasable area and has a combination of traditional mall, outlet center and big box retailers and entertainment uses, all focused on delivering value for the consumer. These assets are well-located in major metropolitan markets, have considerable consumer brand equity and large trade areas, and generate significant total sales volumes. The Mills® is our fifth retail real estate platform.
So apparently, Simon took over last March.

Re: Katy Mills Mall & Bass Pro Shops
gamboolman,
Unless I'm mistaken, your post contains some new and alarming information.
First, some of us have fought The Mills Corp. since 1996 without any success. In a previous thread, it was discussed that The Mills Corp. might soon have a new owner. Therefore, we held out hope that the new owners would be more reasonable.
Apparently, the purchase by Simon occurred last year and from the information in your post, they must be as ignorant as the last owners.
Second, the rule about inspecting firearms in Bass Pro Shops had been determined several times to only apply to guns brought in for trade or repairs or range work in those locations with a range. Several members here got answers that the policy did not apply to CHL.
Either that has changed or you were unfortunate enough to get a succession of lower and mid-level management types who didn't know the answer and gave an incorrect interpretation.
While Katy and Grapevine Mills have been debated to death, I hope this draws some of the previous posters back to discuss whether renewed efforts with Simon could have a positive effect.
