a good example is the prohibition against carrying guns in restrooms at interstate rest stops

This is clearly one of those places where one is very well advised to be armed, most especially when the rest area has no attendant and only the rest room is open. A few years back when making a stop for a call of nature some young males entered the rest room and I got the door to my stall kicked in. Since I had heard the ample discussion of their need to get some money I had prepared by filling my hand with a model 1911 while eotherwise occuppied. When one of these young men kicked in the stall door they got very wide eyed at the site of a cocked unlocked firearm pointing at there center of mass.

They offered profuse apologies for disturbing me and decided to leave forthwith.

Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown

And then there's the story of a lady in Arizona who had to do some long distance driving and found herself in need of visiting a rest stop. A semi was idling in the lot, otherwise the place was deserted. Worried about AZs laws against concealed carry she held her gun close to her side, mostly hidden by the folds of her skirt, as she made her way to the "powder room".

 

Upon exiting the facilities, the large driver of the semi jumped out at her, a length of knotted rope in his hands. She pulled up her piece and he ran, muttering, over and over, "Bitches With Guns"
