They MAY arrest me for anything. Being the TEST CASE is unlikely for most CHL'rs entering the mall since the police would have very low likelihood of observing a properly concealed handgun...unless they had access to the (theoretical) super-high tech scanners previously discussed...so all the concern about being the test case is misplaced.Keith B wrote:If you read back in this thread the signs are of the old verbiage (unless something new has shown up). Grapevine police have specifically stated an officer 'MAY' arrest you for passing the signs as they believe it provides proper notification. So, we really need someone with a lot of money and time on their hands to go be a test case for us. Any volunteers?

Or they notice the clips of the holster.

That's why I never tuck in a shirt unless I have to. The only place I have to is at work where I can't carry anyway.mojo84 wrote:Or they notice the clips of the holster.

Re: Grapevine Mills Mall
I have to tuck my shirt most of the time while working and carry any time it's legal. I often wonder how often people notice the clips. I also wonder how often cops notice them.

I think pretty much never... I actually think other CHL's are far more likely to notice the clips than LEO as well.mojo84 wrote:I have to tuck my shirt most of the time while working and carry any time it's legal.

Re: Grapevine Mills Mall
Same here. I have a IWB with a tuckable J-hook, but I've never tucked my shirt in with it. I may just go back to a regular belt clip for better stability.jmra wrote:That's why I never tuck in a shirt unless I have to.

One good thing about having "dunlop syndrome"....it hides the clips really well....

Ironically, YMMV and IANAL are so old in the messageboard world that teenagers would find them as lame as a parent trying to sound cool with words like "groovy" or "swell".
I just wanted to preempt anybody accusing me of inciting others to dance along the boundaries of the law. My conscience is clear carrying in a mall where I have not received legal 30.06 notice, but I'm not advocating others to follow my lead.
