You can always lie.If Mall Security asks you if you are carrying do you have to answer truthfully?
A better question might be, what do you think will happen if you don't answer truthfully?If Mall Security asks you if you are carrying do you have to answer truthfully?
Only reason a cop to get involved is if security asks you to leave and you don't.the cop part is why I asked
Did this happen to you? (I couldn’t tell you the last time I’d been inside a mall, BTW).If Mall Security asks you if you are carrying do you have to answer truthfully?
First one was great, the sequel was just…weird.I just watched Mall Cop with the grandkids. That Paul Blart was a hoot.
I always just say “dese ain’t my pants, I don’t know what’s in em”.Okay. Here's how the conversation should go:
"Mail security" () : Uh, excuse me sir, are you carrying a firearm?
Armed citizen: I don't answer questions.
Mail security: I see it printing. Is that a firearm?
Armed citizen: Am I being detained?
Mail Security: I'm not a cop, I'm just asking if that's a firearm. Firearms aren't allowed on U.S.P.S property.
Armed citizen: I don't answer questions.
Mail Security: Look. It's not legal to carry a firearm in a post offi---cuts off
Armed citizen: Am I being detained?
Mail Security: No, I'm just asking if---cuts off
Armed citizen: Do you have reasonable articulable suspicion that a crime has been committed?
Mail Security: I don't know what that means. I just see what looks like a handgun printing from your shirt. I just wanted to---cuts off again
Armed citizen: What's your name and badge number?
Mail Security: I'm not a cop, I'm a security guard. They pay me ****. I'm just asking because that looks like you have a hand gu---gets cut off again
Armed citizen: I want to speak to your supervisor.
Mail Security: Well, she's out on lunch break, and then she said she has to run to another post office because we're out of stamps to sell. Why do you need to talk to the branch manager? She's not a cop either.
Armed citizen: Am I being detained? Do you suspect me of committing a crime?
Mail Security: Yes, that looks like a gu...cuts off
Armed citizen: Am I free to go?

Not sure how the post office got involved in a thread about MALL security...I haven't been inside a post office in years. I never have any business there that causes me to go.
