There was nothing illegal in what Mr. Dicken did. My understanding is that gun-free signs in Indiana do not have the force of law behind them. Mall officials can ask anyone they see with a gun to leave and, if the person refuses to leave, then they can be charged with trespassing.
Contrast to New York state, where that would have been a felony because the state has decided that it knows best about the default situation for private property owners. There, a mall shooter is free to do their evil deeds until the cops show up.

You are correct about the "No Firearms Allowed" signs erected by property owners
You can be asked to leave, failure to do so can be misdemeanor trespassing....nothing more.
Been that way for over 20 years.
The only place where it is different is police stations, post offices, courthouses, state and county buildings, and, of course Federal offices.
Well, yeah, Captain Obvious. All those places you mentioned are NOT private facilities.
