Disappointing not to see any real progress on reducing off limits places.

Getting rid of the hypocrisy around "private property rights" that's used as justification for businesses open to the public to be allowed to prohibit 2A while at the same time it's just fine to tell those same businesses what days/hours they are allowed to operate (blue laws) or that they are required to make accommodations for disabled (ADA), obey occupational safety rules, pay licensing fees, meet building codes, etc. ad-infinitum... How many library shelves are filled with volumes of government rules telling "private businesses" what they must and cannot do?

I'm not in any way suggesting that most of the rules we put on businesses are bad.... (except maybe Blue Laws)...

I'm just saying that on one hand government has no problem putting burdens on "private businesses" while at the same time claiming some sort of "private property" straw man argument that somehow ties their hands and prevents them from requiring those same businesses to honor a constitutionally enumerated right.

If a business wants to ban guns, then it should close its doors to the public and make itself a members only organization, with appropriate rules requiring them to prove they are not open to the general public.

And.... Private businesses that ban 2A should be required to scan everyone for weapons to assure that "bad guys" are not taking advantage of the gun free zone and, they should also be required to provide secure on site storage so that guns are not stored in vehicles, thereby reducing the number of stolen guns.
