You can not have it both ways.

I know of sveral large chain stores that were located near collored neighborhoods that went out of business due to rampet shoplifting....

Would you support the business' property rights ...

by the posting of signs declaring no negro people allowed?

THey knew who was stealing....was that basis for dening access to all blacks...?

Please dont try to slide this under the rug as discriminatory...

with the CCW law they have no idea who is carrying...nor even any histoy that legal carriers constitute a threat

Needless to say...anyone who was going to commit a crime with a gun...would not be detered by his sign anyway...

In fact, he could be pretty sure that no one there would be armed...

and since the right to self defense is an individual right, could the store owner be sued if a CCW license holder was shot or injured by such a perpetrator?

especially since he denied them the protection of their license...and provided no alternative?

You can not have it both ways.


The burden of enforcement lies on the Property Owner if he chooses to keep something off of his property. Not the Government.
