Arundel Mills Mall new Security K9

[Blaster229]

I talked to one of these fellas a couple weeks ago.
He was telling me the dog is trained to alert on cleaning chemicals used on firearms as well as gunpowder in ammunition.
He stated that once the dog alerts he calls county police.
He says the mall owner Simon Company has said only on duty law enforcement, or "three letter agencies" are allowed to have guns in the mall.
When I explained Bass Pro allows carry he stated " oh I don't patrol in here"(he was there as a customer when I spoke to him).
I asked him about the legal ramifications of what he was doing, and infringing on peoples rights he was confused.
He then went on to tell me that last year at a mall in GA he had someone pull a "purple drako" on him.
I asked him if that was a sex toy and walked away figuring I the 4 minutes I wasted with him had not made either of us smarter.

Well, let's hope the cops show up before I leave. Please let the guy try to detain someone until then.
Your conversation tells us exactly what type of person would do this good for nothing job.

Also, I don't see these encounters making it to court often, if at all. How busy would that K9 dude be summoned to court because he was the arresting officer's PC?
I can see it more of a trespass warning situation.

I go there on enough occasions, i like the Yardhouse eatery their food is good, service and drinks.

Yardhouse is great. One of the better chain restaurants around.

Powder, primers, Hoppes are all legal to buy at BassPro and, as far as I know, to carry through the mall on route to the car... even better if a protected minority had just purchased those items.

Haven't been inside that mall for some time but now I have the urge to stuff spent cases into ziplocs with t-shirts. Then wear said t-shirt past every mutt I find while concealed carrying various sex toys and possibly wearing nonstandard underwear.

Would a backpack or man purse full of "you are only gay if you are a cop in AA" buttons be considered suspicious if found?

 

[E.Shell]

Ok. Still not buying it but that’s JMO.
I also don’t go inside Arundel Mills except for Bass Pro about once a year for fishing stuff.

I understand your doubt, but having briefly met the OP, I would say that he is completely credible.

Significant , in that mall security doesn't patrol inside Bass Pro , and that's the only place I ever go there .

 

[Crosseye Dominant]

A lot of the time dogs who are trained to look for guns, they use gun cleaning chemicals as the targets. like hoppes

Jokes on them, I never clean my guns

Bigfoot, is there a chance the guy is bullshitting you? Maybe you came across a certain way and he wanted to troll you?


That whole shtick just seems fake as hell, and even more so when the security job has the same status as someone serving you a bagel in the mall. A security guard dog "scent discriminating" on just firearm cleaning products?

Is it a bloodhound? Or just a shepherd with 3 weeks of socializing training? Maybe I'm dumb as hell but some security guard company that has a super expensive equivalent trained to Police dog standards to be leashed up with a guy who gets paid $17/hour to stand and do nothing all day?

 

[AKbythebay]

As long as I can get into and out of Bass Pro I really don't care. Nothing else there that I have any interest in.

It wasn't me having the conversation , I was going by the earlier post .

I'm sceptical about the Mall having such K-9 on a regular basis , if at all.

My comment was about mall security not patroling inside Bass Pro .

I'm sure I'm not the only one who goes into BP , but not the mall proper .

****They haven't gotten any better.

I went into Marley Station a handful of years ago and was amazed at how bad it was, at least an entire wing completely empty of stores. Some of the stores were just empty with the gate 1/2 up. Sparsely populated everywhere else.

Anyone going there just put a pinch if Bullseye or Tight-group in your pocket (or a small baggie so you can share pinches with other unsuspecting shoppers) and when the dog gets enough false positives, and threats of law suits, he will be fired probably along with his handler.

 

[PapiBarcelona]

Damn. I can't read, it was Pop Gunner who talked to the Top Flight Security of the World, Craig.

Sorry Bigfoot. LOL

I go where i need to go and malls are one of the places, my son loves the mall and as a baby it was a great place for him. He loved the clown at WM mall as well and gave her flowers when she retired and he still talks about her, she made an impact on my son.

It's not the metal of the gun that they're detecting. Dogs can be trained to signal on presence of nitrocelluose, and other smokeless powder ingredients. Both the firearm and cartridges will have detectable levels of that propellant residue on them.

Not mine. I clean the hell out of them.

 

[MaxVO2]

Not mine. I clean the hell out of them.

****Same. I could use the barrels on my guns as milshake drinking straws! (duh, I'd remove them from the guns first! and!!! clean them well afterwards as milkshake residue is pretty sticky stuff!)

 

[N3YMY]

I don't think that will work unless the dog is trained to alert to Hoppe's #9.

I’m safe then!

I am a heathen that does not use Hoppe’s #9

 

[N3YMY]

Would a backpack or man purse full of "you are only gay if you are a cop in AA" buttons be considered suspicious if found?

To ensure they are found by spraying them with Hoppe’s!

I'll order the hoppes car freshener hangers. Excellent point. Thank you for catching my oversight.

I understand. I’m not disagreeing that the dog can be trained to detect that at all.
