A normally law abiding person who is carrying sees the sign, takes the gun back outside, and locks it in the car. It will stop that person from shooting someone in the store because he feels threatened or because someone cuts him in line or whatever “heat of the moment” thing that might happen.

It’s not going to stop the racist nut case who is going into the store with no other purpose than to kill people.

Some of this will stand; some will not. Straw Man Jul 2022 #2

We need GUN INSURANCE for responsible gun owners. Treat it like car ownership, driving rights. TigressDem Jul 2022 #25

This has been repeated so many times here NickB79 Jul 2022 #30

The insurance is for the GOOD guys. TigressDem Jul 2022 #31

That's not how insurance works NickB79 Jul 2022 #36

You have every "right" to be rich in your pursuit of happiness. TigressDem Jul 2022 #38

You still haven't explained how your "insurance" plan would work NickB79 Jul 2022 #46

Car ownership requires a transparent process and people have to identify themselves. TigressDem Jul 2022 #49

It also would never survive the new scrutiny under Bruen Amishman Jul 2022 #50

Bruen ONLY dimissed the requirement "to prove the need to carry for self defense" TigressDem Jul 2022 #56

You are incorrect, please read this WaPo article which confirms what I said Amishman Jul 2022 #79

By that reasoning, we should have no laws... Ohio Joe Jul 2022 #35

I'm in New York and if I saw some joker in public carrying a gun, I'd assume he was dangerous Rhiannon12866 Jul 2022 #3

I live in Florida. And if I see a gun in a public place, I'm leaving the store. Baitball Blogger Jul 2022 #6

Yikes! Same here! Why would anyone carry a gun into a store? I can answer that and it's not good Rhiannon12866 Jul 2022 #7

From now on, jog out and tell everyone you pass, "Gun!" Scrivener7 Jul 2022 #9

Florida is not a open carry state so to do so would be illegal EX500rider Jul 2022 #27

Me too. It's time for all of us to start screaming "GUN!" in crowded Scrivener7 Jul 2022 #8

Act like it's still COVID and order to pick up. TigressDem Jul 2022 #32

That's the thing! How are we supposed to know that we haven't walked into the middle of a holdup?? Rhiannon12866 Jul 2022 #69

That's easy. Straw Man Jul 2022 #82

It's a knee-jerk "Oh yeah?" response to the recent SCOTUS ruling. Straw Man Jul 2022 #60

Not much different then Michigan Kaleva Jul 2022 #26

Where does it say that carrying in all private business is prohibited by default in Mich.? MichMan Jul 2022 #28

Where did I say there's no difference? Kaleva Jul 2022 #33

There's a huge difference. Straw Man Jul 2022 #61

Area wise, it looks like 2/3 of NY is Red Kaleva Jul 2022 #75

Hmm ... Straw Man Jul 2022 #76

I applaud the new law SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2022 #29
