I disagree. If a business owner wants to prohibit CHLs from carrying in his business, he has the absolute right to do so without jumping through governmental hoops and complying with government regulations.hirundo82 wrote:That makes it too easy to post a sign.

This way all valid 30.06 signs would have to be purchased from the state at $100 a pop. Would be a revenue source for the state and posting a non-compliant sign of course would result in a $10,000 dollar fine.
Too often, people disagree with burdensome government regulations except when said regulations prohibit or restrict actions they disagree with. For example, many people who believe government should stay out of our lives as much as possible and advocate individual freedom also think it's a good idea for government to ban smoking at restaurants. This, to me, is hypocritical. Either we want liberty in all things or we don't.
A shop owner has the perfect right to post his business 30.06. I then have the right to choose not to do business at that shop, just as I would also choose to not eat at a restaurant which allows smoking. I believe the free market, free of government regulations and rules, would properly and more efficiently decide which was more profitable - allowing smoking/30.06/anything else or not.
I believe anything which restricts the freedom of a business owner to conduct his business in whichever way he sees fit to conduct it goes against the principles of freedom and liberty which has served our country so well; up until the last 50 years or so, anyway.
