No clue, they may not have, I never looked for one. But they do have a sign that spells out the “rules” and it states no weapons are allowed. Had that for as long as I can remember.

This is exactly what I'm concerned about.  You can't hide from that technology at all, the success rate for detecting a weapon is near 100%.  Taking gun back to a car and leaving it where it can then be stolen is retarded.  If the mall is dangerous enough that they need that technology, then the parking lot sure as shit is.

I was staged at Disney springs.    Officers were decent about it.   Was impressed by the dog.

I absolutely stay away from there.

You're not wrong, but go try it and see what happens.(just kidding, don't do that, fellow enthusiast).

I'm amazed Kenwood Towne Center is still a thing, and hasn't gone tits up like Tri County and Forest Fair.

Thus far have not seen a single dog and only one Paul Blart.  Very uneventful.

Two guys with SBRs just stopped in front of me. No LEO markings, just security written on them.

Malls are privately owned buildings.

The law in MN applies to privately owned buildings.

So yes they can.

Minnesota law states that landlords cannot restrict their tenants or their guests from lawfully possessing firearms inside their rental properties. So, if someone has a permit for a gun, there is nothing you can do to prevent them from carrying it or keeping it on your property.

At the MOA, they used to have the legal signage for banning firearms at the entrances.  Then for many years they went away.  Now they are back but not every entrance has them based on my observation last month.

I think I may have even seen one of those dogs there once.  But in the video from OP's post, it looked like the dog was more interested in sticking his nose up the butts of the women walking by

I have an in-law doctor relative who one night at dinner announced her office had a no gun policy and blathered on about how she would never allow it in her office in order to avoid bad situations, angry patients, whatever. I then pointed out to her that anyone intending harm with a gun would simply ignore those signs because the act they were about to instigate was far more illegal than trespassing with a concealed carry weapon, namely shooting up the place.

I also noted that wouldn't she rather have someone armed like myself, who happened to be in one of the patient rooms, there to help defend the office rather than waiting 15-20 minutes for police to arrive?  As smart as she is, it took her till that conversation to have this eureka revelation that transformed her perspective on gun bans. I'm always amazed that smart Dems can't wrap their heads around this indisputable argument. Regardless, this woman is a devout Republican though, Arizonan no less.

These mall owners/lawyers should recall the Kenyan mall that was overrun by terrorists and then rescued by an SAS operator in civilian clothes and a random concealed carrier who happened to be in the area. They saved quite a few lives being armed in the vicinity. They may have saved a few armed guards and cops to boot, ironically (given these guys are keeping armed citizens out of malls here).
