Just don't seem right letting NRA members, and honest, upright gun- owners be treated like smokers. Just don't seem right. If the NRA won't stand up for the right for a legal and upright gun owner to have a cup of coffee with his legal gun on his hip, who will? Treating a gun-owner like you would a smoker! Disgraceful! It ain't right, I'm telling you, it just ain't right. What if somebody comes in to shoot the place up, and kill everybody? Hell, that just happened in that DC Navy yard. But I'm willing to give the NRA a chance here. It's still early. Private businesses have the right to deny service to anyone they want. Uh, no. Uh, yes, as long as it's not in violation of any specific Civil Rights law, i.e. racial discrimination, etc. Anyone can be determined to be persona non grata at the discretion of the business owner if he/she feels that person is or may be disruptive to the business. That's right...you can't legally discriminate and therefore private businesses do not have the right to deny service to anyone they want without a reason that doesn't violate the law. So, the answer remains, "Uh, no." Sorry Harry. You are wrong on this one. I've booted people out of the guitar shop who weren't violating any laws but were being total asses. Not many, but a handful over the 4 plus years I had the shop. After the first experience I checked the legality of my actions with a lawyer. Perfectly legal, and within my rights as the owner of the business. I've also seen professionals banned from places of business .... in this case not mine, but one I worked for. Again, perfectly legal and within the rights of the business owner. I said you couldn't discriminate for reasons that violated the law and, also, I doubt your guitar show came under the umbrella of a public accommodation. Words are important. -------------------------------- Good grief. My initial first sentence following my, "Uh, yes" in response to your "Uh, no" was: ",,, as long as it's not in violation of any specific Civil Rights law, i.e. racial discrimination, etc." and, yes, a guitar shop, a pet food store, a bar, a supermarket are *all* considered public places unless they are registered as private clubs with membership requirements. You can restrict entry or boot someone out if you determine it to be necessary, again as long as you are not violating any law in doing so. There's nothing illegal about booting someone out the door if they are being obnoxious or disruptive. At least that's how it is up here. Your mileage may vary. |
