what's the protocol on carrying in a mall? i did a preliminary search and didnt see anything pertaining to it. i was told malls are private property and as such i could be kicked out, is this the case? and what are your experiences?

Pheasant Lane Mall in Nashua, NH has such a sign. So does the Liberty Tree Mall in Danvers, MA. I just ignore them and go about my business as usual.What signs? They ban carry at malls?

I never read signs, unless it's says SALE on it in big red letters..
The mall parking lot is one place where statistically you have a higher than normal chance of needing a pistol.
Since attacks usually happen between the mall doors and the car, leaving the pistol in the car is a really bad idea, sign or no sign.
You are lucky that they didn't make a 911 cell call about a man with a gun, giving a description of your truck and your location. The police response to that kind of call would not have been pleasant for you.last year I was waiting in my truck for the little woman while she ran into sears @ Pheasant lane mall when two gentlemen tried the door handles. Never saw someone run that fast before, just wanted to show them the new sights I put on my S&W 28.

A few malls have signs which prohibit the open carrying/display of weapons,

a sign saying you cant open carry? well that goes without saying since half of the mall is in Tyngsboro, MA

They probably built it that way on purpose for sales tax reasons.Well, IIRC only the southern parking lots are technically in MA. The mall itself is definitely in NH.

If the mall itself crossed state lines, there would be a rental rate differential with the NH units commanding higher prices - sort of like how apartments just outside Philadelphia (which has a city income tax) cost more than ones just inside the city.
Cool. I see the corner cutout to which you refer on the Google Maps satellite image, but it looks like Google shows the state line a bit north of that corner.
The entrance road to Harvard Sportsmens is in Harvard. The ranges are in Boxboro. Much of the acreage is in Littleton.I wonder if anyone owns a house that is also physically in both states... that'd get kinda hairy.
