[QUOTE="donner, post: 3332389, member: 277"] Lots of quakers in this world. Especially in places like indiana, north carolina and Pennsylvania. My wife's family has been attending the same meeting (read church) for upwards of 260 years in North Carolina. Some of the first conscientious objector laws in our country were written for them. Long tradition of pacifism and religious objections to violence and war. Some interesting stories from times like WWII where Quakers were unarmed litter carriers aiding injured troops. Some went so far as to volunteer for medical experiments as their was of contributing without violating their religious principles. And your point about 'majority' is the same as mine. You are speculating why a business might object. It could be hatred of guns, or because their insurance company demands it for a lower rate. Either way, them choosing to ban weapons does not disarm you. Your choosing to go in disarmed does. The choices being made that put someone in danger happen before that person enters the store and it involves two sides. And i agree, it doesn't matter why they ban guns nor should it. But lets not use bad laws to create special situations whereby they are more liable as a way to punish them. How long would it take for a democrat in Virginia to see a law like this and say 'great, let's create one too, only we are going to make a business more liable if they allow guns.' I'm sure they think that will surely protect susie soccer mom from someone carrying a highpoint in their sweat pant waistband who might as easily have an ND as save someone from from a random attack.
