Quoted: 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. View Quote Damn, not even 10 am on holiday and the retardedness is going strong... |

Well, now I know what to do with that aspirin bottle that I dump all the powder into that I get out of dud rounds found on the range.
That's now the marinade for "seasoning" decoys. The idea of a medical device as a decoy is _brilliant_. |

Quoted: 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 |

Who goes to a "mall" anymore?
I heard that they're all dead; haven't been in years. |

Quoted: 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. View Quote I would like to know. I have carried in a posted mall and posted BBQ joint in AL and intend to again next time I am down there. |

Some families deserve protection some don't. Just got accept it. Then again I don't go to malls.

Thank you for illustrating the disparity in rights for different classes of citizens.

I went to a new bank recently. They had this special sally-port entrance with a metal detector. I was CCW as always and didnt feel like going back to the car. Me, my mom, and my 3yo daughter all pilled into the metal detector room waiting to be allowed in. I gambled that with all the shit that typical women carry in their purses, the thing was turned off or set so high that only a boat anchor would set it off....and I was right.
As for the Mall in the OP, I'd be tempted to sit out near the entrance and surreptitiously squirt folks walking in with one of those squirt bottles of CLP.... |

SauerPatchKid stopped your buddy and gave him a pass because he was a cop?
Got it. |

Quoted: 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" View Quote Gun powder in the ammunition |

Quoted: 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. View Quote Because they aren’t testing for gun powder. |

I mean, if a local mall has such a violence problem they have a k9 to sniff out guns, I'm going to avoid that mall.
Especially if I am not allowed to protect myself. |
|
My guns get to be at the house, range, or ffl. Not even allowed to stop for gas on the way home.
|

I'd like to see a proper double-blind study of those dogs detecting guns.
|

Is it considered impersonating an officer if I were to tell people I'm an off duty officer anytime I did anything against the rules?

Another hiker and his dog passed going in the opposite direction. The dog planted his nose on my front right pocket where the gun was, leaving a nice wet nose print. The guy looked like he knew the dog found something but didn't say anything. |

Riverchase Galleria? fun fact, that Black Friday shootout a couple years ago, my family and I were about 10 minutes from being in the middle of it. If we had went into one more store and not left when we did...

Quoted: I participated in a webinar recently on venue security. The thermal scanning tech, they can see your gun. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: 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. I participated in a webinar recently on venue security. The thermal scanning tech, they can see your gun. Do you know the effective distance of that equipment? About a decade ago, I went to an interactive museum that had a thermal scanner with live feed for guests to try. My pistol was very obvious from ten feet or so. I wondered if a thermal blanket would defeat it, but never went back to test it. |

So what happens if someone sprinkles gun powder on the ground around the entrance to the mall?

Quoted: 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.

What should the mall do….?
Considering they are less viable every day. They would put up sensors if it were economically sensible. Dogs are show. |
|
No way I would go to a mall around here without a CCW.
Large packs of black teens harassing people and acting feral. |
|
And now everyone watching the entrance knows who has a gun...

Quoted: My wife's backpack was always searched after being swabbed, nine never did. Mine had been used for shooting and hunting, hers had never been around a gun. Not sure what on her bag kept testing positive or if it was just random searches View Quote Simple, the TSA agents find her attractive and not you. Up your game if you need some TSA fondling. Or opt out of the scan for their hands on male assist. |

I kinda want to throw 22s around the mall like a clown at a parade.
Glue a few under the rim of a garbage can. Toss some into the dressing room at Victoria’s Secret. Generally make the dog think is back in Baghdad. |
