Your "right" or privilege comes with conditions in this instance. They do not have to allow you in their store. If you refuse to show your chl to confirm you have one, they can terminate your "tight" or privilege to be there. They have a vested interest in confirming you have a chl if you are going to open carry.

This still has nothing to do with cops stopping people on the street.

I will play the villain here. Why does WalMart have the right to ask if a person has a LTC? They have invited the general public into their store to sell them stuff and make a profit. That does not give them the right to ask for personnel information unless I am doing something that requires that information or something illegal. Unless I am doing something that requires personal information or comiting a crime, they have no reason to stop me or ask for personal info. Does the police have the right to stop a person for no reason and ask for ID?

I can see being polite and showing a LIC when asked. That does not give them the right to ask. What happens if a person doesn't have a LTC, are they to call the police?

BUT you are walking into a business that carries a liquor license to protect, and that changes the game. I support this small section of the debate on the law. this will all settle down after a period of time as we become used to it. BUT I also agree we need to fight the MDA as hard as we can. I have personally ordered the Cards from the TSXX and carrying a few of those with me at all times.
