"You're making the mistake of asuming I'd actually patronize a business owned by someone with such a 'guns for me but not for thee' attitude that you've shown on countless threads in the past.

That's cool with me. You're more than welcome not to visit my place of business. My business; My rules. Your business; Your rules.

A lot of people in the business I'm in go further than I do. They have entry halls with double doors. To get in, you have to go through one door, pass a metal detector, then get buzzed in through the second one. Set off the detector, and you don't get in at all. One guy I know wouldn't buzz you in unless he knew you personally anyhow.

I don't have a airlock entry way. I don't go that far.

A lot of people in the business I'm in

You're either in the pawn shop business, jewelry business, or drug pushing.

Which is it?

I carry in my place of business, and that's it.

Armed people are not allowed in my place of business, and that includes cops who are there without invitation or a warrant.

You are either a nonsensical hypocrit on a major power trip or a freelance prison guard.
So you have effectively, in your "place of business", set yourself up
as a petty dictator through gun control.

Congratulations.

How American, how patriotic.
