How is this any different than if I went into the restaurant wearing a campaign button? Should I ask permission to wear a campaign button prior to entering? Absolutely not. If they are not pleased with people wearing campaign buttons in their establishment they can ask me to cover up my button or leave. I can then make the choice to not patronize them or comply with their wishes regarding my button.

Except that you aren't disrespecting their rights. You are exercising your right. If at any time they feel that they want you off their property they can walk over and ask you to leave. No one in this thread has suggested that you should tell them to go to hell and keep eating your breakfast. If they want you to leave they can ask and then you leave. You have just respected their right to ask you to leave for actions that they disagree with.expvideo wrote:I think we need to agree to disagree on this one, because I feel a person needs to respect others rights if you want yours respected.Bear 45/70 wrote:expvideo wrote:Wrong, on private property you do.

No, YOU are wrong. They have every right to ask me not to carry, or post a sign asking me not to carry, but I have NO expectation to ask them permission. If they have a problem with it, it's their burden to say something, not mine. I don't have to ask their permission. That doesn't mean I don't have to leave if they ask me to, or obey signs.
I don't have to ask for anyone's permission to carry a gun. If they have a problem, they have to ask me not to carry it, not the other way around.
