While having been to this mall several dozen times in the past and looking for any signage i did not see any. Also if you enter through certain entrances it is not posted.
So today walking through the store with the SO, we wandered into American Eagle and as i am in there a security guard walks up to me and asks me to step outside the store with him, i comply. He informs me that they do not allow anyone to carry firearms in the mall. I ask if it is Written anywhere to this effect and he informs me that it is posted on the entrance but it is very small and hard to see. He then tells me that i can lock it up in my car and return. Mind you he was being very polite (his partner was silent) I said that i did not see any such signage but i will be leaving as soon as i grab my SO. So i go back in the store, grab her and inform her and we leave the store with the Guards standing outside, i ask them if there is someone i can speak to about this. They gave me the name of the head of security a BenTolly and his number.(general security number) 919-792-2020. He also mentioned he doesn't agree with the policy and that he himself has a CC permit and wishes he could carry as well. All in all the security guard did a very nice polite job. His name was Ben Allen.
So, i leave and notice a general Rules sign and it happens to say "Alcoholic beverages and the carrying of firearms is prohibited"
So needless to say i will be contacting the mall offices, and security although Security can't really do much other then enforce the policies.
