From the above: ‘And James Madison, the principal author of the Constitution, echoed those thoughts when he wrote, “as a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights.”’

So I have a property in my right to keep and bear arms.

Also from the above: ‘In particular, the term “private property” should be defined to include all the uses that can be made of property consistent with the common law rights of others.’

Others have the common law right to keep and bear arms.

“On your property, your rights trump the rights of others on your property, assuming you are not violating their rights by forcing them to be on your property.”

One’s property rights do not trump the free speech right of another to say “No” or “Stop” to a sexual advance. The other may be forced to leave the property for exercising that free speech right, but it is not trumped.

“And I didn’t mention Conceal Carry. A business also has the right to say nobody can carry a concealed gun, or wear blue underwear, on their property. However, those two are harder to find.”

That implies that you are willing to violate a private property owners rights as long as the property owner doesn’t know about it.

Please, just think this through.

People have a right to free speech. But if a guy walks into a barber shop and starts rambling on and on about politics, or using bad language, does the owner not have a right to boot him out if he doesn’t shut up?

Same thing with guns. I get to tell people what rules of mine they have to abide by if they don’t want to be booted off my property.

And the key is that it is MY property.

Regarding the CC without the owner’s knowledge, I’m not saying I’m willing to violate their rights. I’m merely pointing out that they have to KNOW you are violating their rules before they decide they want you off their property.
