One clarification here. As the freedom loving American I know that you are, you are referring to on public property, correct? Private owners should have the right to make whatever rules they want.
Yes. I wouldn't tell a person what he can or can't allow on his own property. However a private business open to the public i.e. restaurants, stores, theaters....etc should not be designated gun free zones. They only exception I would make is bars and clubs where the majority of the business is selling alcohol.
I fiercely disagree here LL. If a person owns a business, who are we to tell them what they can and can't do with that business? If the owner is an idiot liberal (not likely to happen anyway considering how dumb liberals are) who wants to ban guns and create a victim zone, that's there business. You and I have the freedom to not patron that victim zone (and we won't). Furthermore, those are the places which will experience the mass shootings and they will be put out of business from that anyway.
You don't have to hang Dumbocrats LL - just give them the freedom to hang themselves. It's just like here on USMB. They have the freedom to speak and all they do is expose their ignorance and contradict themselves. Not only would we be doing them a favor by silencing them, but we'd be despicable hypocrites like them. The freedom we scream about includes their freedom as well. And the beauty of freedom is that it allows idiots such as Dumbocrats to implode.
The government tells businesses what they can or cannot do all the time and I've never heard anyone here complain.
I think guns carried by lawful citizens should be allowed in any business that caters to the public. And luckily here in Texas you can in most places excluding bars but including the State Capitol.
