One of my personal beliefs is don't accommodate what you don't want. I don't want to be unarmed, so I don't want to set up mechanisms to disarm me in a hospitable way. A business with 30.06 signs may well support candidates who want to take away my guns. I don't want to go, even if there is a nice gun locker waiting for me.The Annoyed Man wrote: Will STILL cost a business owner thousands of dollars.......... to satisfy the 4% of the state's population that is licensed to carry a firearm.....of whom only a percentage actually carry their firearms?
It's not going to happen. They are not required to provide you with a microphone and a stage to exercise your 1st Amendment right. And they have rights as property owners too.
Just don't spend your money there. Spend it somewhere that appreciates your rights. That's what most of us do. Furthermore, a 30.07 sign doesn't exclude you. Just cover the gun up and go on in. It's 30.06 signs that are the real problem. Even so, vote with your wallet.
I agree about 30.07. To me, 30.07 without 30.06 telegraphs an acceptance of guns, even if not on everyone's terms.
The safest place for a gun is in its owner's holster. For personal safety, a roomful of law abiding, armed strangers is just fine. There's always bound to be a new friend or two in the bunch.
