I am a huge supporter of private property rights. I think you should be free to tell anyone that they are not allowed on your property and they have to leave, at any time. My proposal does not contradict this belief in any way.remington79 wrote:Exactly. People will start to chime in talking about property rights. I lived in a state where signs did not carry the force of law. I only saw one sign posted (you could hardly see the sign and it was at the hospital, I carried right on by) and no business complained about people carrying into their establishments. Business owners aren't allowed to discriminate based on various classes. Exercising one's Constitutional rights. It's not any different than saying that anyone who voted isn't allowed on the premises.Soccerdad1995 wrote:I agree that this is positive and also agree on the changes needed in Texas.
Simple Texas change would be to eliminate the signage sections from 30.06 and 30.07. Businesses can ask anyone to leave, for any reason (other than protected classes), and if that person doesn't leave, they are trespassing. Simple, and this same law can also apply to some business owner with an irrational fear of blue suits, or handguns, or tall women, or anything else. See something you don't like / want on your property, ask the person to leave. Call the police if they refuse to leave. Simple.
Personally, I would also get rid of the whole protected classes thing as well. I think that is a bit outdated. If a business wants to be biased against anyone, myself included, in today's day and age, and they are willing to suffer the resulting loss of sales, more power to them.
