"It's amusing (at least to me) that you would use an Article by Peggy Dean."

Yeah, she must be a real close associate of yours, considering her first name is 'Penny'. And whereas you wrote previously, "Private property rights do not supersede other rights," the very first words Ms. Dean addresses the matter with, are, "NO, private property rights prevail."

Which is it?

Oh dear I misspelled a name. Whatever will I do?
While Ad hominem attacks are practically de rigueur for liberals, it doesn't make them appear to be clever, and doesn't add anything to the conversation. Such behavior is beneath you. I outlined my association with her quite clearly, such as it is, and I didn't say it was a close one. I was simply amused by it.

And whereas you wrote previously, "Private property rights do not supersede other rights," the very first words Ms. Dean addresses the matter with, are, "NO, private property rights prevail."

It isn't an either/or proposition. Private property rights do not supersede other right, as the example PeNNy gave clearly shows. Private property right prevail in that they can ask you to leave, but they can't not force you to disarm, nor is it illegal for you to go there armed.

As an example let's say someone went into a post office while carrying a concealed firearm. According to federal law, by simply by stepping into that property, the person a felon. This is a clear case of Federal law superseding constitutional rights. On the other hand no matter how you post your property, or how a business owner posts their property (in NH), all you and the business owners can do is ask someone to leave and they are obligated to leave.

I was completely unaware of such signs in NH and I've never seen one. If I did see such a sign I would not step a foot inside that business as I wouldn't want to support their desire for an unarmed populace with my money. However if I needed to go in there for some reason, the absolute worst thing that could happen to me is being asked to leave.
