I had my first run in with a police officer on Thursday at the mall. I give the meeting 3.5/5 stars. The officer approached me as I was looking at a really good deal on button downs in JC Penney. I was dressed in shirt, tie, v-neck and I cut my hair high and tight so his first question was to clarify that I wasn't an officer. He then told me that firearms were against the mall policy and he said when I signed up for my license to carry that it had a spot in there about private property and that since it was posted he could charge me for criminal trespassing. I told him that as a responsible carrier I always check doors just to make sure but didn't see anything and that there is no need to discuss trespassing as I am willing to leave without a fuss. At this point he asks me if I have a license and I tell him I do and ask if he would like to see it. He informs me that it's ok but that I should really consider carrying concealed in the mall "if I hadn't seen it we wouldn't be making this call. Also if a bad guy comes in he is shooting you first so that he can have 2 guns. Playing John Wayne will get you killed fast." I didn't discuss this point since I disagree but I kindly asked him if he could show me where no firearms was posted. It was inside the first set of doors on the wall written in the code of conduct "No Firearms or illegal weapons" I thanked him and apologized for missing the sign. He then told me "I appreciate you being relaxed about this. I like guns and always carry but you get guys that want to argue there constitutional rights and all it does is lead to an arrest. Also I will tell you that the constitutional right for guns only applies to the home. Away from home is a privilege and the state issues you a permit allowing you to do that." Again I disagreed so I just said, "No matter what your constitutional views the time to argue it is not at the point of contact with an officer" he replied in the affirmative and escorted me out completely. Told me he wasn't trying to be a jerk and I said he was fine and we shook hands and I left.
