[QUOTE="Soulman, post: 787229, member: 554"] Depending on where you worked, I worked at the Bartlesville mall a few years back............make sure the gun is secured and there is no chance (zero) of it coming out or even partially being exposed. If you print and one of the customers or other employees turn you in, you will be fired. Don't be surprised if they end up calling the mall security and bartlesville PD even if you are legal to carry it. I think all the entrances might have the "no gun" signs up and there are arguments both ways on if that's a non-verbal warning and counts as the one warning they give you before you're trespassing and can have the cops on you. Best case, you get fired. Worst case, you're trespassing and they can make the non-verbal warning thing stick and then what....... Now that being said, the one entrance to the store I was at had no "no gun" sign on it and it was the service door so it was the only door we were allowed to use. I figured worst case I could play dumb and say "oh the door you make the employees use doesn't have a sign so I didn't know" getting me out of the trespassing thing, but I would still lose my job since the store had a no weapons policy (including knives of any sort). I carried a S&W 60 in a pocket holster with nothing else in the pocket. I never touched the pocket or went anywhere near it. I didn't want any accidents of any shape (reaching in to get keys or something and showing the butt of the pistol, etc). Since it's the Bartlesville mall, the people hanging out in the parking lot are 98% middle school age kids. All the cool kids that are older and that can drive hang out at sonic or wal-mart. If they are hanging around your cars, either get your store manager or HR person to call down to the security office and jump their butts about not securing the employee parking better. I know my store did that repeatedly until they eventually started sending the security down there every 10-15 minutes. [/QUOTE]
