You can ask.
But the answer is that it is legal.
So F#ck off.
Private companies have rights.
Not inside a privately owned business.
It’s their store.
Shop by their rules or move one.
A better response would be.....well I’ll just conceal. They are not taking your gun. Just asking to keep it quite. What’s wrong with that?
I think keeping it quite is better.
You can, however, open carry on any public property around these cowardly retailers.
It’s a privately owned business. They can dictate who comes into the store.
However, as we all know this doesn’t apply to bakers or florists, who deny service to a certain demographic, based on their religious beliefs. When that happens, the rules do not apply and it is ok to ruin their lives.
It is legal. What do you expect with an epidemic of mass killings? What do you expect private businesses to do? Their shoppers want to feel safe and this is their answer, right or wrong. The voters will not put up with doing nothing about the mass killings. Politicians who do nothing will go down in defeat. It’s the new reality.
