No Guns Allowed - Salisbury Mall

[joppaj]

anyone see the irony if LE shows up to enforce a trespass, but mall security says "you can't come in here with a gun."

I think that was the basis of a story in The Onion last year.

[swinokur]

"According to the Centre at Salisbury, "possession of any weapon, whether concealed or displayed openly, is in violation of the shopping center's policy."

Right but according to the county sheriff, people still have the right to CCW on private property that is generally open to the public so who wins?

Thugs that carry regardless of policy or law.

Boy I'd like to see his cite for that opinion. restaurants can prohibit service to folks for no shirt or shoes. what's the difference?

You don't have a constitutional right to wear a shirt and shoes

 

[swinokur]

True but private property rights don't get trumped by the 2A unless you're in Salisbury?

The 2A restrains the govt, not private property owners. Your 2A rights stop at the Mall entrance.

It's like MDS. It's privately owned, therefore they make the rules.

Who really loses sleep at night from violating some idiotic company's policy? If I had a CC permit, I doubt it'd even be worth the trip back to the car to stow my piece if that stupid sign caught my eye on the way in. If some mall security guard DID notice my CC weapon, I wasn't doing a very good job of concealing it and would politely leave when asked to do so.

It's their easily ignored policy.

Kinda hard to not see a shirtless/shoeless person.

100% agreed. Your policy vs. My family's safety while I give you my hard earned $$$$. Easy choice, in my book my family's safety trumps your silly policy and if I was asked to leave I would gladly do so and take my hard earned money elsewhere. If you really want me to respect your private property rights don't run a business that allows the general public to walk in.

Just my .02

Without boring everyone with a lot of departmentally specific details, I'll say that sometimes it does apply and sometimes it doesn't. The biggest answer seems to be that if someone lawfully in charge of private property tells you to leave, you pretty much have to leave unless you're there in an official capacity with the proper paperwork.

So it sounds like MD doesn't have a rule on the books, which means you can ignore the sign, but if you are asked in person it is your responsibility to leave or be charged with trespassing? As I understand it that is how it's treated in Texas if they have a "no guns" sign that doesn't meet the 30.06 specifications.


On a side note, I love the irony how the law number for a firearm works out to be "thirty aught six."

salisbury has a mall? well now I know I will never go there.

 

[swinokur]

that's the easiest path IMO.
