First one spotted at Willowbrook in Wayne

I feel much safer already.

Honestly? I love a good afternoon of shopping. But I would not want to shop in a mall that was promoting/advertising the vulnerability of its shoppers. We have plenty of evidence by this point of mass shooters passing by hard targets and driving a little further down the road for a "soft target". So, why would I want to spend my time in a soft target? This is just dumb.

Paramus Park has one also but that has been up for months now.

Paramus Park and Willowbrook are owned/managed by the same company: Brookfield Properties.  They are Canadian....

The bought the company that owned both malls a few years back.

AKA as target rich environments. 

I read these as "we don't want your business" signs.

Best guess is that the insurance companies require this. Concealed means concealed.

What's a mall?

Where I'm at in FL, the only store I can think of is Sprouts.  Guess who does not get my grocery monies?  The botanical garden also has a sign that gets ignored.  A park where they have pickleball championships has a sign or prohibited items as well, it just shows a gun, and you can see where they removed the circle and line through it.  Once upon a time you could not carry in a park, but that was corrected.  Here most no guns signs are I don't want your business signs. Unless it is a prohibited location, a sign is just a suggestion, not a violation of law.  At most you will be asked to leave if found out.  If you don't you risk trespassing.  Unfortunately NJ will probably do the same thing as NY, making it illegal to carry just about anywhere unless you are given permission to do so by the owner.

That sign has been up at Willowbrook for a while.

My wife mentioned it after she went there for dinner with some friends from work.

That's great in states where if someone notices, you get told to leave and at worst a misdemeanortrasspassing charge. NJ is making it a major felony.  

Oddly enough, here in SC they have legal backing, but fortunately you don't see very many of them.  Whole Foods comes to mind plus a few random places.

Willowhood and some of these other malls already had it. It’s corporate policy. Spend your money at a small business instead.

Haven't been to that mall in years, Heard it had issues.

Sign says firearm detecting dogs, I've heard that gangbangers frequent there.

Dogs must not be doing there jobs or they leave them in their cars

Whew!  I'm in the clear then,  as long as they don't know the smell of G96.

It would be fun to mess with them though, a little Hoppe's on the wrists or fondle a bucket of spent brass before heading there.

Where is that sign? (Which Walmart?...I'll have to go to my local walmart and check for signs now!)

Well, the sign says: OPENLY carrying, concealed is another thing.

Walmart policy is against open carry. No problem with concealed. 

We know that criminals do not read signs so I have this question, CC is legal, and a business forbids CC, God forbid, something happens, can we sue the business for not allowing us to defend ourselves? I totally agree with the 'We don't want your business' argument but still.

exactly. to me that means that as long as no one sees it(which to be honest should be how ANY of us carries) they're fine with it.
