Even though it sucks, it IS private property. They have the right to decide who and what comes onto their property.
And you do have a choice to go into their property - or not to. For myself, I do NOT patronize any establishment that refuses to recognize my right to defend my life, my family, and those around me.
BUT...and here’s the rub:
IF they’re going to decide that people are not allowed to defend themselves, then THEY are personally, financially, and legally responsible and obligated for the safety of the people on their property, and should be held criminally and civilly liable.
Armed guards could maybe have stemmed the slaughter.
But we’ll never know now, will we...
True, but it's a CONCEALED carry state; right?
Don't advertise you are carrying - problem solved.
They could toss you off their property, but what other LEGAL things could they do to you?
