Cop gets to carry in mall off duty.

I carry in mall and probably get told to leave or worse.

What the hell is it going to alert on? The smell of metal? "Sorry officer, I have my car keys right here"

Carbon? "Sorry officer, I was at the range earlier" (and maybe he should maintain his firearm better if that was what it alerted on)

CLP? "Sorry officer, it's my cologne"

If the mall has to employ a gun-sniffing canine, why the @&$# would your buddy be at that mall with his family?

Quoted:
Local mall has a no gun policy after several high profile shootings.

Cop buddy is CCW with his family at the mall. Walks by the armed, private security with a K9 and it alerts on him.

Security guy confronts buddy about possibly being armed. Confirms he is LE and lets him resume his mall stroll.

Too bad I'm not a cop, I'd like to protect my family too.


Irrelevant tangent: I can't tell you how many times TSA swabbed my laptop with the explosives test and never got a positive,  despite the fact it was saturated with gun powder from my reloading bench.

Because he is allowed to protect his family.

While the special treatment is certainly an issue, I think the point of this particular post was that (1) they’re sniffing us out and (2) “concealed means concealed” may not always work.

How does "no guns" work legally in AL?

Their business, their rules and all, but does the usual Beretta silhouette with a red circle/slash carry legal weight?

Inquiring Texans want to know.

Was there a couple weeks ago. Carried anyway. The worst that can happen is they tell me to leave.

I wonder what it is, specifically, that the dogs hit on.  Is it the smokeless powder residue?  Primer residue?  Gun oil?

It would be fun to have one of those metal AMEX cards (or any other similar decoy...pocket knife, nail clippers, keys, you name it), expose it to whatever it is the dogs hit on, and then troll 'em in the mall.

This was exactly the first thing I thought of.
Years ago, my friends dragged me to a club. They had metal detectors at the door.
I told my friends, “Do you know why they have metal detectors? Because they need them.”
We bailed.

No criminal liability if you leave once they tell you too.

Yeah but when bullets start flying me and you get to tuck tail and run away.

We also get to make more than $35k a year.

So look on the bright side.

No idea, but I have watched an explosives canine repeatedly  track down a single 9mm round thrown into a field.  Dog loves it, like playing fetch.


I also have not been inside a mall for around 15 years.

Don't know how accurate the info is, but I had a TSA gun case checker/swabber tell me their swabs won't turn purple for unburned smokeless powder. Like they could rub right over a pile of fresh 2400 and it won't do anything.

Meh.  If you are going to go to the trouble, make it worthwhile.  You need a troll with a disability requiring a medical device, though, like an insulin pump.  Expose it to whatever the dogs hit on, refuse to be searched / refuse to expose the device after telling them what it is.  Get kicked out.  File ADA suit.  Profit.

Some years back my dad emptied his carry gun the old fashioned way before tossing it in the safe and going to the airport for a flight (he virtually never flies).

He set off the residue alarm at the airport and got searched.
