I avoid all of it because I don’t do business with businesses that are gun free zones. Have not been to the mall by my house in 15 years and do not ever plan to buy there again.

I love going to Costco
They have a No Gun Policy
Their business, their right
Either go in unarmed or don’t go
Unarmed doesn’t fly with me so I Conceal.
Prolly the only Law I every broke
I will NOT be a victim
Bought a CROSSBREED ‘Bellyband’ holster a while back
I wear it high off the waste (but easily accessible)
There is a (300 lb) Female Door Pitbull that scopes me out
all the time . I think she’s HOT for me, I went in my Uniform
a couple of times and she threw a fit.
We went round n round a few times till we agreed we just didn’t like each other
and agreed to disagree, FINE, whatever
With the Bellyband on she has left me alone
ever since.(My guess she thinks her snarling unpleasantness
‘skeered’ me into submission 
)
The weddings next Tuesday! 
The Honeymoons gonna be LOUD!

I say again if a business owned by a private citizen and open to the public can not discriminate any patrons that come into ur business.
So I can open a business and say ur 1st amendment right are not welcome here, I want you to shut up and eat my food. This would cause such an uproar and lawsuit against my private business and shut me down.
Open to the public is not considered a private business. Even on my own private property.
Their are ordinance that are out in place for the open public that comes into my business.
BTW… Money is not a private exchange it is own by the government, so unless you have private money then it is subject by the government, so ur business is not longer private.
This is how it works people!!

If your food is good we could play music and learn sign language. Food for thought. Pun intended.

It may make the food better.
BUT I remember when a restaurant opened up and said no kids allowed and the social media went into a frenzy you know such a public outcry the business had to shut down.
But it was a privately owned business and they were able to do what they want because it’s their own business.
On the other note maybe I should open up my business to only those who are able to carry a concealed weapon or even open carry I wouldn’t have to hire any security because everybody who’s eating I’m establishment were carrying…
Have a sign on my door that says Have Gun Have Service…

Because, if I own any business and I choose not to allow anything within my rights as that property owner, that is I have property rights to exclude certain activity, thus my property rights that are spelled out in the Constitution. What you are demanding here, is to punish my rights to own property and to allow activity on my property that clearly is a choice as a property owner, but now what you are suggesting here is VERY DANGEROUS SLIPPERY SLOPE.
You are trampling my property rights over your rights, when in fact you can simply move to the next store if you do not like my “No firearms allowed” sign in my window of my property. You have the right to keep walking and thus not spending your money in my store, it is that simple, but once you demand that your rights are higher than my rights, then, WHERE DOES IT STOP?
Just as the left pushed way too far in their WOKE agenda and it cost them the election, here to we can go too far as well. How dare you infringe upon my property rights, this line of thinking will get out of control very easily. Anytime a class of people (gun owners) demands the stripping of rights from another class of people (property owners) then it becomes a free for all into tyrannical dictatorship.
In regards to property rights, business and homes cannot be separated thereafter, so when can I enter your home and start queer story hour time?

Duh! He puts asign on his door that says no guns allowed (2A). Have you not seen those?
Try putting a sign on a door that reads no gays or no protestants (1A). Let me know how that works out for you.

Doesn’t make any difference anyway if the dam thing is concealed like it’s supposed to be. Someone’s gonna have to ask a lawyer about this one.

It doesn’t make any difference to me, I never see the signs. The only time I did see one that I can remember was not in my home state.

For some reason I’m getting a whiff of ‘He doth protests too much methinks’.
This is a simple case of ‘INFRINGEMENT’ by the Business Owners
who due to some ideology feel they can strip us of our RIGHTS to SELF DEFENSE
just because they (for a host of reasons) feel Guns are unsafe, dangerous, whatever.
We Gunner’s have the RIGHT to either not patronize this establishment or CARRY CONCEALED
Who’s to know? In the grand scheme of things this isn’t really a problem as some see it.
This isn’t a vast conspiracy to undermined the Business owners it’s just a way that ‘IF’ something happened we have the option of stopping a slaughter of Innocents if EVIL
comes knocking on their doors.
This entire forum is about Self Defense/Concealed Carry. Not walking into an establishment with a Western rig and side arm and a Winchester begging for a fight.
If you truly feel this is a
What are you doing here?
Yes, it’s the proprietor’s right to REFUSE SERVICE but it seems to this observer that that is a foolish way of doing business. It’s like saying 'I don’t wish to serve you because you are PURPLE Barney. When he/she could easily say ‘What can I get you?’
This is like picking fly’s out of knat turds.
I walk around dozens of shopper’s and SEE many firearms! Some really don’t care if they are ‘Printing’ or their over shirts display their Iron. Maybe they want people to know they are packing. As far as Costco is concerned (MOO!) If you don’t blatantly stick the firearm in their faces where they are FORCED to react they prolly don’t care. You sit @ the FOOD COURT and
your Iron is exposed you will be questioned. I don’t know how many times I’ve nodded/Acknowledged a fellow Concealed Carrier in my shopping (Sometimes you just know).
As for the religious person who refuse service to a gay couple about their wedding cake
purchase if she was smart she would have made other excuses for not taking their order
or jack up the price so they go elsewhere. Common Sense is rare it seems if you don’t have to folk’s should not ‘POKE THA BEAR’. If you’re going to bring RELIGION into it or your ‘Morals’ be prepared to receive push back (or a Lawsuit). I believe she lost her case?

The 1st A only applies to governmental restrictions on free speech. A private entity, be it an individual or a business, or an organization, is not bound by it. Your employer, your favorite watering hole, your fantasy sports league is free to place any restrictions they see fit. You are also free to disassociate yourself from them. You may also shout their perfidy from the rooftops to warn the public. Just make sure that what you say about them is true; defamation and all.
That being said, instituting a “no 1A” policy would almost certainly generate negative, possibly disastrous social repercussions. If, however, if the entity believes that the venture can attract a sufficiently large “no 1A” demographic to ensure success…well, that’s the free market for you.
Yes and No. Anti-discrimination laws are quite specific about who is protected and what form the discrimination must take. For example, if a business puts up a “NO 1A” sign at the door but doesn’t engage in any physical acts of exclusion or refusal of service, is that actually discrimination or just a statement of opinion? It would be a very fine line to walk, certainly, but probably doable if one is willing to put in the considerable effort required to walk it.
Personally, I would simply not engage with them.
PS:
“…legal tender for all debts, public and private.”
