Well, the fourth amendment tells you what the government cannot do to you. Costco, Walmart, Home Depot, etc, are not the government. After all, you have a choice. Knowing they do this, you can chose not to patronize their store if you disagree with their policies.

Good morning.

I use the 2nd Amendment as my guideline.

What they don't know won't hurt them when it comes to my CCW, but if they post signs telling me they deny me my legal right, well, they just don't need my business.

The Federal Government and the local court won't recognize my right either, but I can't choose to do business elsewhere when it comes to their goods and services.

Apart from that , I figure the store has as much right to protect it's goods as I do to sue their butts if they are wrong. I can also choose to go elsewhere, and I've done that so often the businesses I do frequent know me by my first name. That's nice.

Correct wizardoz. There was, a now defunct, chain store that refused to let me in the store carrying my motorcycle helmet for "loss prevention". I never set foot in the store again.

You can also just walk past the person and ignore them. It would be interesting to see what they do.
