Funny thing, we're about to abolish no carry zones here. Only federal property will be off limits.
Funny thing, I carried in a state sponsored no carry zone yesterday. Forgot I was packing before it was too late. Oh well, we had our visit and I departed and no one was hurt or the wiser. No carry zones really stink. I like the Texas law where businesses have to be very specific when they don't want you to carry.

we're going to eventually do away with that as well. business' that operate in the public sphere will have a limited property right in that they won't be able to ban weapons.
Isn't that taking away their right to decide what is right for their business? If you can't carry, go to another business, it is just like cigarette smoking. Where do my rights end and yours begin?

The proper comparison would be carrying a pack of cigarettes into a store vs. carrying a concealed weapon. It is the use of either than could potentially harm other patrons or the owner.
how so? please explain.I think carrying a concealed weapon is a little different than wearing a helmet,
how so? please explain.and by the way, I don't support helmet laws, let the fools go without, it is their personal choice to endanger themselves, fine with me, but having people bring guns into my establishment is a horse of a different color.
how so? please explain.
how so? please explain.
A concealed weapon can be used to harm myself or my other patrons. People who refuse to wear helmets, seatbelts, etc, only hurt themselves.
I agree
a pencil can be used to harm you or others in your business, are you going to prohibit them? how about forks and knives?
Let's just say for the sake of argument that I am a flaming liberal and my business caters to the liberal types, providing them a place where they can come drink their lattes or cappuccinos or whatever...all while watching the latest MSNBC episodes of Rachel Maddow or Mr. Ed. I should have the right to put a state sanctioned sign on the window prohibiting the carrying of concealed weapons since I have an objection to it. After all, it's my place of business.
Now let's say (more realistically) that I have a business which caters to the gun toting, Outdoor Channel watching, anti-Obama, black coffee drinking, bible thumping rednecks. I should have the right to do the same thing. Again, it's my place of business.
Now, in business 1 above, I wouldn't expect STY to frequent the place no more than I would expect Jarod to frequent business 2. It then becomes their choice.
