I appreciate the property right argument of firearms on private property, that is where the owner has the right to place restriction on who he allows on his property and for what reason.

But, put this argument in different terms. Would the AJC and its friends on the left, and those members of the Georgia Legislature support a law that allows a property owner or employer to forbid entry to a person with a condom concealed in his wallet? Or, to make it even more PC, to forbid entry to a person with HIV in his bloodstream?

I would appreciate any constructive comments.

This bill would have also allowed law abiding citizens with a Ga. Firearms License to CCW in state parks in Ga.

Meredith Emerson was a law abiding Ga citizen, and was not carring a weapon while hiking in a Ga state park. She was attacked, kidnapped, and held prisoner for 3 days by a man in his 60s.

She was taken to a remote wooded area, tied to a tree, then beaten to death with a tire tool. Then the kidnapper cut her head off.

It is time to allow Ga. citizens the choice to protect themselves in their home state, especially in the public areas we pay for every day in taxes taken from us by the state.

I would appreciate any constructive comments.

To me the most dangerous time entering or leaving any business has been mall parking lots. Of course people in Nebraska might say inside a mall is not longer safe as well.

Add in car jackings and you can understand why I only shop strip malls and other businesses that allow law abiding citizens to carry.

If the owner wants to restrict firearms on his/her property that is her/his right.

I just don't shop there.

If I were a business owner, the last thing I would do is prohibit workers and visitors from bringing their guns. I don’t want people being defenseless if some deranged maniac decided to use my business as a shooting gallery.

If you live in a carry state, and you forbid someone from carrying on your property, then you are liable for my security. If something were to happen to ANYONE, even someone not directly your family, I would say the property owner is sued off the planet. If someone came into a business, and someone in the same room was hurt or killed, it could have as well been me or my family member. I also could have the position that I might have prevented said crime if I was allowed to carry on the property.
