Active Duty ping.

Having never been drunk enough to dine in a Waffle House at 2am, I certainly see no need to start doing so now.

At any rate we have an apparent conflict between two rights; i.e. “Right to Carry,” and private property with its “right to exclude.”

I agree there is a conflict of rights here. Now:

As to "Right to Carry", I believe that's clearly documented in the Second Amendment (A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.)

As to "right to exclude", where exactly is that clearly documented? I'm not saying it doesn't exist, I want to know where it's documented.

[KrisKrinkle]

“No conflict. His property, his rules.”

Can he make any rules he wants to because it’s his property?
Can he deny me the free speech right to say “No” to a sexual advance? Can he deny me the Liberty right to leave his property once I’m on it?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

F Waffle House.

PING!

[Slings and Arrows]

For a night owl like me, that sounds pretty close to heaven.

If he had a weapon with him he was on duty and acting responsible with protecting his weapon. Unlike some CIA idiots in Memphis left their weapons in their van which was then stolen. The food is lousy any way for the price.

[Slings and Arrows]

This WH is owned by individual franchisee. No need to condemn the whole chain.

[TexasTransplant]

Just get the food to go, mental note... “never go back”

[TexasTransplant]

**** “2) “For many years we have had a “No Firearms” police in place in our restaurants. We continue to believe this is the best policy for the safety of our customers and associates.” That’s completely retarded. With apologies to actual retards, who can’t help it. Criminal Safety Zones have proven, over and over, to be extremely BAD policy for the safety of customers and associates.” ****

Next question .. ya gonna let someone that stupid cook your food?

[TexasTransplant]

**** “No conflict. His property, his rules” ****

I repeat myself but if they are that stupid would you let them cook your food? Or better question... Would you eat what they cooked for you?

Pretty simple for me, it just turned into a “do not return” and I let Capitalism take it’s course.

[Slings and Arrows]

Some WH’s are owned by franchisees and some by WH corp, which I guess accounts for the variation in policies.

[Slings and Arrows]

That sounds like a depressingly viable tactic.

[wardaddy]

Actual retards can’t read your post so no worries

Still...good to be cautious

[Gene Eric]

Not proactive enough. Avoidance too often forgets or loses interest.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

It is the Common Law and Statutory law.

[NorthMountain]

It wouldn’t be the first time a hoplophobic business owner excluded armed cops.

[TheOldLady]

Indeed. Gun-free zones are just target-rich environments.

An active shooter barging into the restaurant is not going
to drop his gun and walk out because it’s a gun-free zone.
