US appeals court allows California to bar guns in most public places

[tavernier]

12. I know that the second amendment applies to citizens on public property

But what if owners of all stores and businesses declared that it was their right to disallow any guns on their properties? In other words, in that case, if a nut job decided to go full Wyatt Earp, could he only do it on a public sidewalk, not inside any property under private ownership?

Just a thought, ever since I saw the open carry dude flaunting his pistol in Big Lots. What if Big Lots corporate ownership had a sign posted stating “ you are welcome to shop here, but this is private property, and we do not allow weapons in our stores for the safety of ourselves and other customers.”

Would it be in their rights to do that?

I know, I know. Another stupid question by Tavernier. But these are the kinds of things that I think about at 3 o’clock in the morning when the pizza I ate at midnight is waking me up.
