That's my First Amendment Right your talking about. You have no 2nd Amendments Right to carry on private property. Don't believe me? Try carrying a rifle slung over your shoulder into a federal building. Try the IRS building for grins and come back and report to me. They may infringe upon you enough to convince you that you might be wrong.
Listen, I’ve come right out in my posts and said you have just as much right to say what you’re saying by way of the 1st as I do to carry by way of the 2nd.
Problem here is that I live in Florida, and open-carry isn’t legal. So yeah, I’m not going to go out carrying openly, but you can bet your bottom dollar that I’ll be carrying concealed. And you know what? There’s an exhaustive list of businesses I will not patronize due to their anti-gun policies. I’ve made it public and spoken openly in my local media about it.
The whole open carry in a Federal building is another canard. Can’t carry in a courthouse either. In Florida, you can’t carry in a lot of places. Guess what? It’s the State’s and the Fed’s rights to pass those laws.
Unless and until the Feds or my State say that no one may carry anywhere at any time, I’m going to exercise my right. If I lived in an open carry state, I would do so. That does not make me a bozo or an “attention seeker.” That makes me a responsible, law-abiding citizen.
You are absolutely correct, however after that you are not.
Neither the Federal building or the IRS building are private property nor have they ever been. Government building may have their own sets of rules/regs but in no way, shape or form are they private property.
You keep bringing this up although the article nor the comments are about carrying on private property that has forbidden people to carry arms on their property. JC Penny in this case had no ban on arms being carried, the man carrying was not arrested, so he was breaking no laws. You are using an argument that has no bearing on carrying firearms openly in states where it is legal and it should be legal in all states as it once was.
You are a coward who wants to stand behind a condition that didn't exist in this case. Grow up or become a liberal, you are more than half way to being one now and a long way from being an a courageous adult.
