I don't know that specifically about this place. It's a general rule that mall management across the country bans firearms. They do so to avoid cases where someone gets shot and they get sued for allowing them. I don't know if anyone has successfully sued for being shot when they weren't permitted to carry a licensed gun, though I recall there was at least one case.
Playing the odds. You've no standing to sue for the absence of legal firearms unless you've actually been denied entry due to carrying your own.
