"In at least the first shooting, the perpetrator conducted his murder spree in a commercial facility whose owners had marked it as a gun-free zone, a designation that keeps concealed-carry licensees from bringing their weapons into the building."

If it's a concealed carry state, how can they tell you don't have a weapon on your person?

I just ignore the signs. Unless they install metal detectors at all the entrances and pat everyone down who is coming in, what they don’t know won’t hurt them.

The same way the government can tell you not to use a legal product, tobacco, in many places. In both cases, it is the government camel keeping its nose under the tent to remind us of its "rights" and power.

I agree with the conservatives whom Tice describes.

Magnetometers at the entrance, it's on the way.

The owners of the mall were exercising their private property rights in declaring the mall a "gun free" zone. By posting that sign, they implicitly take responsibility for the safety of all who enter...including assurance that their prohibition is enforced on everyone who enters. The owners failed to prevent an armed person from entering their premises and killing persons unarmed by their policy. It is reasonable to hold the owners accountable for creating the situation that allowed the carnage.

Texas’ concealed carry law makes it a crime to carry in a place that bans concealed carry. You can be charged with a crime and have your permit revoked.

Unless the building is a government building, school of any kind, or has metal detectors at all entrances, I don't enter while CCW.

I ignore signs everywhere else. They don't mean a thing.

Private Property.

They may not be able to tell if you are concealed carrying, but if you are a CCW permit holder carrying in an area with signs telling you that you may not be armed, you could be putting your permit at risk.

In some states, if there is a posted sign, you cannot carry and may lose your permit if you do so.
