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. |

Reeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Rubbing our nose in that TBL privilege!!!
LOL |

Cop gets to carry in mall off duty.
I carry in mall and probably get told to leave or worse. Lol |
|
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?

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. |

Bomb sniffing dogs. |

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. |

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

Quoted: 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. View Quote I participated in a webinar recently on venue security. The thermal scanning tech, they can see your gun. |

Fuck that mall, security twit and policies they have in place because savages do their things at malls...

View Quote 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. |

A non-police K9 alerting on me? Hahaha you and your dog better back the fuck up.

Supreme Court upheld the search lol |

What? I now have another reason to not go to the mall. Sigh. Whatever. I'll just have to stay out here in the briar patch.

View Quote 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. |

View Quote 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. |
