Wrong private property is private property yours and my rights end where our neighbors begin. Another words your property your rules.
I'm not an internet lawyer, and I don't play one on TV. Hell I didn't even stay at a holiday inn express recently. But....I have been practicing criminal law for 20 years and I teach search and seizure law to law enforcement and to other attorneys.
I do not post to argue, only to inform. I don't like it when good people get themselves in bad situations due to misunderstanding legal concepts. So I sincerely hope my posts here do not come across as disrespectful. I just want to help get accurate information out there so good people like the members of this forum don't meet me in my courtroom.
If you open a business, then can you halt people from coming in because they do or do not meet your various preferences?
If you open a business, then can you halt people from coming in because they do or do not meet your various preferences? The civil rights laws are pretty clear that you cannot.
I believe that this should extend to people who are exercising their right to carry self defense tools. I am not advocating for laws to create a right to open-carry in all privately-owned spaces which are opened for public business, but my view is that once someone has a concealed carry permit, their carry of a concealed weapon should be nobody else's business. A business owner must simply accept customers as they are.
If you value your property rights so greatly that you cannot accept the presence of your customers as they are, then do not open for business.

You start by saying the you dont have a right to keep people out based on skin color or whatever then say you do have the right to keep out armed patrons. And you end by telling a private property owner how to handle his own private property.
Maybe its me.
I will point this out and the law has repeatedly backed that if you have private property and you open it up as a public place a business, church, ect. You do loose some freedom to discriminate based on legally protected attributes. One could argue a firearm like race or creed is a protected atribute. For me I just dont go places I'm not welcome for who I am I dont think they deserve to earn my money. As for a private residence if you are a racest and you tell your rainbow-striped neighbor to stay off of your property its your right. You would be a douche but its still your right.
