I specifically excluded the home as it is not thrown open to the public, so that shot missed. Pay attention.
Your taxes do not pay for the entire police force, the armed forces, the fire department or all other protective services. You are a miniscule part of that total figure. Thus, the will of the other members of the body politic outweigh the claim that you are the sole employer.
Thus, a law passed by the legislators who were elected by more than you can short circuit your view of your ability to abridge rights if you want to be open to the public. That's why we are trying to have laws that control the abuses of employers.
As far as being scared of me exercising my rights as a CCW type - well - that's an interesting take. I'm from a group that has one of the lowest predicted crime/risk rates. So what are you scared of?
One could easily make that argument that minorities scare you or offend you and thus you should be able to discriminate - even though those policies have made life Hell for those folks. Thus, we don't allow you to be open to the public, get protected by the larger body of tax payers and indulge your prejudice in serving customers or hiring.
Folks of Color couldn't walk in certain neighbors as it scared folk.
OH - rules of government are to protect folks - isn't that what carrying is about - protection.
Thus, I see nothing in the post that shoots down the fundamental argument. It is just another castle rant based on some terrority violation.
they have no right to tell you what you can do when your not on their property.
Ok - let's do this - Here comes the school bus down your street. You and your partner - be it opposite sex or same sex - make love on the front lawn in front the grade school drop off. It's your property.
To conclude, it wasn't that long ago that my family could not get jobs based on their religion or couldn't go to certain schools. I regard carrying as fundamental as the right to your religion or not to be discriminated against on the basis of race.
Stay in your home - don't do business with the public. Banning guns doesn't promote safety, so we should we support idiotic arguments in this debate. Being spooked by the idea of guns reads like the editorial page of the NY Times - guns in the parks, carry of guns - horrors - blood in my store!!
