But for some perspective:
Property owners....every day.....must adhere to ADA guidelines. IBC codes. Life safety laws. Environmental regulations. Flood plain certificates (FEMA by the way). Etc.
Why are we...as LTC'rs....so willing to wave the "we believe in property rights flags" that may / may not put our self defense rights in a subordinate position compared to these other rules and laws?
Would for one second a physically challenged person politely wait for an AG opinion and subsequent court ruling on accessible spaces?
There may be no right answer here tonight, but why are our rights less important / urgent????....particularly in these turbulent times??
Why, for example, should we.....as citizens of our constitution, be willing to be told our rights to self defense are prohibited by a property/business owner, but they must respect parking space density counts and restroom counts??
Tell me? Is it political correctness run amok??
Curious.
I agree with this post, I do most of my shopping at places that I have like minded ideals with.
The places that I'm not welcomed at I might call at the end of the day and very politely let them know I spent X amount of money at this other store because of their policy of allowing LTC folks in their store.
I also very politely ask them what is their plan to keep me safe in their gun free zone. It generally doesn't get me anywhere but it's a slow process and it gives them something to think about especially of they get more phone calls like that.
