I mostly agree with the Public Accommodation position. Though I understand the practical political rationale for the 30.06 sign with penalties that make it a crime to trespass, I can't immediately think of another sign that makes it illegal to carry/wear/do something on private property. I would prefer Texas be like PA where you need to be told/refuse to leave before it's a crime, but I accept that it's not likely to change.android wrote:My personal opinion is that CONCEALED CARRY should be treated no differently than any other PUBLIC ACCOMMODATION protected class. That is how many other states, FL for example, handle concealed carry on private property OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.Soccerdad1995 wrote:
So far, the government's answer has been that property owner's rights trump individuals rights, unless of course, we are talking about the right to have a cake made for your gay wedding, or the right to eat at the same counter as people of a different race. The government views these as more important than the right to property ownership, and so property owners are forced, ultimately at the point of a gun, to give in to these demands. A citizen's right to keep and bear arms is viewed by the government as being less important than these other rights so property owners are not forced to accommodate this right. At least for now.
We don't have that protection in TX though.
