You should see what happens when the “handguns in company parking lots” issue comes up.
There are hundreds (thousands) who believe that they have a right to bring a handgun onto someone else’s property, and state legislatures are starting to back them up.
Those people are wrong and sadly being a legislator does not remotely make one well versed or educated on the principles of the nation and its history. Its sad, but they haven’t taught US history in proper context in public schools in nearly over 40 years now.
So odds are pretty good that unless you run into a person who went to private school, or specialized in the study of this area in their post secondary education, they are patently ignorant of it.
The guns in parking lot issue is a great example, the property owner has every right to refuse to allow the weapons on their property. This is not only supported by the principles of private property rights but also by historical precidence. Such laws are blatantly unconstitutional.
Now, I have some real legitimate questions and concerns regarding how our legislatures have positioned corporations in our legal framework. This is a construct that did not exist in the founding days of this nation, and frankly I find they should not exist. Granting companies and those that run them deniability for their actions by claiming they are just a corporation is indefensible, but that’s a discussion for another time.
