“It would expand concealed carry into schools, bars, churches, and the portions of airports that are outside the security parameter...”

I’m fine with all that, so long as the private businesses/entities mentioned have the final say so over their own property. Government has no more right to tell a bar owner or a church congregation they must allow guns on their property than they do telling them they aren’t allowed. (Mind you, I’d have no problem with a patron or parishoner who was CCW, just with the government deciding for the business owner).

As for Gabbi Giffords. It’s tragic what happened to her, but it doesn’t make her an expert on gun laws. And frankly, I find it rather vile the way Malloy invoked her name to make his case.

The left forgets that their communist/marxist gods (who are probably in hell) have killed about 150 million of their “productive” citizens for being independent of government. Get it...they kill the productive because their base is the nonproductive. This time plenty of patriots know what is happening. I hope the libtards get balanced out for the 150 million responsible people the communists killed.

Well Government tells me I have no right to smoke in my own business. So apparently they CAN regulate such things.

As long as there are strict standards for signage (if carrying where privately prohibited is criminalized) or if it is treated as no more than trespass.

I also believe that some privately owned places that are effectively public accommodations should not be able to prohibit carry (hotels, malls, theaters, buslines).
