In reply to the discussion: When gunnuttery and anti-unionism collide: Howdy, Tennessee! [View all]billh58
(6,655 posts)9. I didn't say that
I would be "cool" with ANYTHING, but only stated how the law applies to private property. If I did not want you to park in my driveway with a Bible in your car, or a DU or an Obama bumper sticker on your car, that is my prerogative, just as it is with any private property owner. If you insist on disobeying my private property rules, you would be guilty of trespass.
Conversely, I could ban cars from parking in my driveway if they did NOT have a Bible in them, or if they did NOT sport DU or Obama bumper stickers.
Same with guns. The Second Amendment, and other civil rights such as "freedom of speech" do NOT apply on private property, but in the public venue where those rights can be regulated.

It seems that the store owner's property rights trump the gun-owner's carrying rights.

So you'd be cool with a 'no bibles' or 'no DU bumperstickers' rule? How about..

That also means there's no way to gague the effectiveness of bans on guns in parking lots.

Inconveniencing people "for the public good"-where else have we seen such a mindset? Oh yeah:

The "If it only saves *one* life" meme is strong in this thread, isn't it?

Um, you can have it both ways. You can't fire people due to race, even in states with at will laws
