I think property owners should be allowed to ban handguns the same types of places property owners can ban Korans, thong underwear, Obama bumper stickers, and piercings. With the same penalty for violators.TLE2 wrote:I would make a distinction between private property on to which the public has a reasonable expectation of an open invitation, by its purpose (bar, restaurant, store) vs private property on to which the public has no reasonable expectation of an open invitation (house, private club, etc.). IANAL, of course.
I would disallow a weapons prohibition for the first, but allow such prohibition on the second, with posting. But I've never been elected, so it's just my opinion.
Some people will say Korans and Obama bumper stickers are protected by the First Amendment, just like firearms are protected by the Second Amendment, so... what was the point again?
