Shoot back if you must, but I have issues with this sort of thing on constitutional grounds. I really am getting tired of people thinking they can force private property owners to bend to their demands. If I see a gun free zone sign and choose to disarm and go inside anyway, I made a choice. His property, his rules, his rights.

I don't want anyone telling me what I allow on my property and I afford the same respect to others... even if I think they ARE a dumbass.

I don't see this as a demand, it's making property owners liable for their PC idiotic decisions...

If I go to the movies and want to defend myself if some lunatic goes crazy, the theater owner should be held accountable if I am not allowed to.....

"...His property, his rules, his rights..."

And his responsibility.

This doesn't force anyone to do anything. If they want to make their location a gun-free zone, they are still perfectly entitled to do so. However, by disarming individuals who are authorized by the State to carry and, as a result, are making those individuals incapable of defending themselves, they must .. and should .. assume the responsibility for their defense.

So if you don’t want to disarm, you don’t go in, right?

What if you don’t want to disarm, but have to go in?

What if some guy then starts to shoot up the place?

Who’s responsible for your safety?

” His property, his rules, his rights.”

I also agree with you about private property. However, commercial businesses are required to accept all customers nowadays, and I don’t see why I should be rejected just because I have a permit to carry.

I’m not so clear about the liability of the property owner for acts out of his control though.

So...you're saying one class of citizen is responsible for the consequences of his choices, but another (property owner) isn't?

Interesting...
