Does anyone know if the Simons mall are posted no firearms? I was told that some are and some aren't. Really interested in Lafayette and castlton those are about the only 2 we go too.
Generally Simons Malls are posted as Non-Firearms.
However, the sign has zero wieght of Law behind it here in Indiana.
I have been in several Simon Malls, going back several years, and have never seen such a sign until yesterday at Keystone. The only reason I even noticed it is because I specifically looked for such after reading stuff on this board.In other words, if there is a sign likely to come to the attention of the public (think large, very conspicuous), and you ignore it, you are already trespassing, without ever having to be asked to leave.
I don't think this latter sentence is correct. The statute reads:
(a) A person who:
(1) not having a contractual interest in the property, knowingly or intentionally enters the real property of another person after having been denied entry by the other person or that person's agent; ... commits criminal trespass, a Class A misdemeanor.
(b) A person has been denied entry under subdivision (a)(1) of this section when the person has been denied entry by means of:
(1) personal communication, oral or written;
(2) posting or exhibiting a notice at the main entrance in a manner that is either prescribed by law or likely to come to the attention of the public

I was at a Jeweler in Bloomington Simon Mall. I was purchasing something for my wife. I asked the manager if Simon had an issue with me carrying my sidearm and she said "As long as you have a permit, we're good with it." or something to that nature.Does anyone know if the Simons mall are posted no firearms?
