“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed, Unless RC one thinks it’s unreasonable or CTD thinks you are a Jerk”

Again, you wantonly misconstrue my point.

Kroger has an OC-tolerant policy (just like Starbucks did).
If you use your right to OC to annoy Kroger customers, Kroger will use their right to tell you to get the he11 out of their store.
If a whole bunch of people use their right to OC to annoy a whole lot of Kroger customers, Kroger will use their right to tell anyone OCing to get the he11 out of their store (just like Starbucks did).
The RKBA does not trump a private store’s right to refuse association with people who, as individuals or as a representative group, give reason to deem persona non grata.
It’s not about whether _I_ think you’re a jerk, it’s about whether the property owner thinks you’re a jerk and whether he is willing to associate with jerks.

Don’t be a jerk.
You know if you’re being a jerk.
You know if Kroger’s owners/managers will think you’re being a jerk.
Being a jerk can ruin things for you and everyone associated with you.

Yes, you have RKBA.
If you want to exercise it for the sake of exercising it on public property, go right ahead. I’d be happy to join you.
If you want to exercise it for the sake of shoving the issue in people’s faces on private property without consent of the property owner - nay, to the annoyance & dismay of the property owner - then don’t be surprised if you’re evicted and anyone acting vaguely like you (say, OCing at all) are banned from the premises.

Or would you not object to me exercising my freedom of speech, very loudly, from 9PM - 6AM every night on your front lawn?
