“Interesting conflict:Private property rights vs. gun rights.”
I assume that when talking about private property rights you are referring to things like the 5th amendment. That amendment restricts the government from seizing or abusing your private property. It says nothing about depriving other citizens of their constitutional rights.
Why should I have to give up my constitutional rights because I am on someone else’s property? If you discover I have a concealed weapon while on your property and you do not want that, then you can ask me to leave. That is your right. However, it should be my right to carry wherever.
I live in Pa and the only places we are not allowed to conceal carry is at the airport and schools. I believe those are both federal and not state restrictions. It used to be the courthouse also, but they recently amended that here so that you can restrict parts of the courthouse, but not all of the courthouse.
If a business, like Ruby Tuesdays has a sign outside ‘No Guns Allowed or No Discussion of Politics, Aliens or 9/11 Truther Talk’. They can do it. We are not talking about Public property.
It is their property, and they can restrict your ‘Rights’, they do it all the time and I can as well.
