[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3333658, member: 43724"] There is a huge difference though. Do you allow anyone to walk into your home, uninvited? No, because its not a publically accessible place. Hypothetically, if I was to go to your house and you told me not to bring in my firearm, I would have no problem with that because of the low risk. You only allow people you trust into your home, so if I was there then the chance some crazy came walking in and harming me is extremely small (even smaller than it happening in a public place). However, going into a place of business that allows people to just walk in is a whole different story. I agree with the argument that having government dictate what a business can and can not ban on their private property is bad (the libbies would have a field day creating laws that would make all businesses gun free zones and make carrying in one a felony). Yes, I agree I (or anyone else) could simply ignore the signs as here in OK it is not a crime to do so, but what about states where it is a crime, like Texas? The problem I have is that as the consumer I have three choices: don't patronize that store even if its the only one close to me with the product/service I want, carry anyway and risk being asked to leave and not come back, or go into the store without my firearm and hope I've not just walked into one of the small instances that statistically I would have never been in. Honestly, IMO, there is no good answer. [/QUOTE]
