This is off topic, but I was on a plane with a lady that had a smallish dog and it was dressed in clothes, had a hat and shirt that said service dog. She had it out and was playing with it and some folks asked about it. She said it was a therapy service dog and that he/she made her feel better.
I think it's great that the dog makes her feel better. She could have cancer, be terminally ill, or have mental problems but none were evident. If folks change the definition of a service dog, that's fine, but I always think of a service dog as someone who assists the physically disabled, like a "seeing eye dog" probably not politically correct in today's environment. I think therapy dogs are great but I'm sure there are those that will abuse.

The point was that hyperbole doesn't help "our" cause....i.e., if there are more 30.06 signs it's an abuse on our freedom. One view could be that others exercising their freedoms is just as important. Now you can get in to the 2nd amendment and take that all the way to constitutional right to carry a firearm anywhere you want without any restrictions, but that is another argument. I'm also for putting pressure to change laws that we don't agree with and making sure we vote in like minded representatives.Charles L.

How do you feel about the new Texas law (effective 1/1/2014) that requires businesses to allow veterans to enter with their service dogs? I'm not talking about blind customers, but all veterans with service dogs such as those that some PTSD patients use.scokill wrote:Not that I'm for increased 30.06 signs... but freedom also applies to private property owners. There shouldn't be a question of it's freedom for CHL holders or tyranny if property owners exercise their rights under the law. Just my 2 cents.

My comments were mainly aimed at the original poster quote " I want my children to grow up in a free State and free country. We can move closer to that goal by discouraging 30.06 signs."chasfm11 wrote:I'm not advocating decreased freedom. As business owners who open to the public, stores set up conditions that the public either likes are does not. In retail, it is the products that they sell and their prices. In service businesses like restaurants, it is the way in which the customers are handled.scokill wrote:Not that I'm for increased 30.06 signs... but freedom also applies to private property owners.

Sprouts argument is that their 30.06 signs provide a safer environment for their customers, according to the emails that they've sent to customers who complained about those signs. Most of us believe that there is no validity to that claim in Texas. The DPS statistics seem to bear that out. We view the sign as a political statement rather than a good policy one. The owners of the Katy and Grapevine Mills Malls have unabashedly said that their signs ARE political statements.
It is the right of a business owner to conduct business, within the laws, as they see fit. It is the right of the consumers to patronize that business, based on how it meets their needs. Sprouts no longer meets my needs as I cannot walk into that store without disarming, something that I'm not willing to do. I often share my opinion of businesses with my friends and family about the good service or poor service that I get. I see telling them that Sprouts does not honor my 2nd Amendment rights as a part of that. I really don't want to make my decisions to patronize businesses based on their politics. If they don't want me to do that, they can stop blatantly advertizing those politics on their doors.
