I assume that this is a mall policy,not some strange local ordinance. I guess that anyone can ask you not to carry a gun on their property.

If you did anyway? Seems like it would be a stretch to say that you were tresspassing, I think the most they could do would be to ask you to leave. Then again they would have to know you had a gun.

I suppose (this is really streching it) if you were found to have the gun, that you have been apparently successfully carrying concealed for 2 decades [;)], and the person who found it not only asked you to leave but somehow found out who you were (I guess if they freaked and called the cops on you) he could rat you out to the County Court judge in the county where you got your permit. From there it depends on where you live as to whether the judge would be a jerk about it or not.

I was at a mall in Syracuse and a young girl working there refused to let my girlfriend and I in because she had a shopping bag with her (duh it's a mall). We had to go back out to the car and drop the thing off. I guess that they are attempted to prevent someone from bombing the theatre, but I had a tough time keeping a straight face since I had a Glock 21 on me.

Unfortunately we were sneaking candy into the theatre in the bag they made us leave outside.

The sad part is that there are often fights and other trouble in the parking lot of this mall after the late movies get out. A Syracuse cop advised me to park on the other side and cut through the mall to get back to my car. I may be finding somewhere else to spend $ 20 on the movies.
