Im sorry if this sounds stupid, but I'm confused. If it is our 2A right to OC and no one can tell us otherwise, how can some places and stores prohibit us to OC there and post signs? I have heard of some places calling LEOs on people OCing and kicking them out. I thought I have read somewhere that stores legally cant post? Im just confused. someone help me out. LoL

The constitution creates and limits governmental powers; absent state action, there is no problem with banning guns.

There's a thing called "Property Rights". A private business owner can set conditions for entry, as long as the conditions don't descriminate against something that cannot be readily changed, such as race, gender, religion, etc.

Stores can and do post directives to disallow carrying of guns on their privateproperty. They have that right. We have the right to call attention to their disregard of our rights and begin shopping elsewherethen alerting others to do the same.

It's a tangled web weweave and we must strive through correctness, politeness and a dash of law to bring these misguided Americans to the light.

Personally, I believeeven though misguided beliefs form the backbone of theuneducated, we are starting to prevail.

This is why we now have a "sticky" thread titled "Kentucky list of OC friendly or unfriendly businesses". The intent is to show new and existing open carriers where businesses readily allow or disallow OC or CC, so a person can decide if they want to do business there, or not.

Means that an individual cannot protect his property from being taken by the state under the immenent domain principle by incorporating it. Any propertycan be taken by the state for public use/good whether it is owned by an individual or company.



permit corporations to conduct their business in such manner as to infringe upon the equal rights of individuals

A law allowing corporations to discriminate against certain people cannot be passed. For instance a law saying that a corporation employing less than 100 people cannot be exempted from hiring handicapped persons.

Notice the date was 1891 and was primarily saying that laws permitting corporations to refuse to hire blacks were unconstitutional.

Open to rebuttal.

Bottom line, businesses and residences can ban anything they want on their property. If you choose to carry anyway, they can ask you to leave. If you refuse, the cops can arrest you for trespassing.

I thought the subject explained what the the law was about. Open Carry is recognized as a right in kentucky.

Corporation property subject to eminent domain -- Corporations not to infringe upon individuals.

I'm not sure were someone would interpid the quote below as corporations being able to restrict someones right to opencarry.

and the exercise of the police powers of this Commonwealth shall never be abridged nor so construed as to permit corporations to conduct their business in such manner as to infringe upon the equal rights of individuals.

Section 195 refers to equal right. Not to many years ago it was illegal for blacks to own a gun, along with many other things. The result of the civil rights movement granted equal rights to them. There for.


and the exercise of the police powers of this Commonwealth shall never be abridged nor so construed as to permit corporations to conduct their business in such manner as to infringe upon the equal rights of individuals.


In this case the right to carry a gun in Kentucky is also an equal right. A corporation Is not permitted to infringe on the equal rights (opencarry) of individuals.

How could corporations infringe on open carry? They already have the right to kick you off their property, and it's not considered an infringement.

(sigh)

I'm going to try this again.

It's not an infringement on equal rights if they wont let ANYONE in with a gun. Now if they let Catholics but not Baptists or Americans but not Canadians in their stores with a firearm, then sir what you are quoting would apply. As that is not the case, your argument is null and void.

Have a good day.

Aren't gun owners a minority group. I know equal rights don't just apply to race or religion.

There is a law that permits businesses to restrict conceal carry.Can you show me a law that permits corporationsto restrict patrons fromopen carry?

Why do people intrepid the law differently when it comes to guns.You can't have it both ways.

Equal rights apply to age, disability, national origin, race, religion, or gender, not gun ownership.

A private property owner can have restrictions on their property otherwise, if you don't like it, you don't have to go there.

The only one that's misinterpreting the law is you, what your suggesting would also be opening a Pandora's box on the right's of a private property owner.

+1 Unfettered.

Ever see signs that say, "No shirt, no shoes, no service"? Those are definitely legal as well.

If a business restricts guns, don't shop there. It's not an infringement if it's not your property or public property.

There is a law that a business can enforce a "No shirt, no shoes, no service" policy. Like you said "Legal"

Corporations are bound by law just like everyone else. The big difference between corporations and individuals is that individuals have inerrant rights, corps don't.

It's not a private property rights issue because corps don't have constitutional rights. In fact it all stems from property rights, or the loss of them.

Here's the short of it. The individual at some point (through his inherentright to contract) gave his rights away for certain privileges, in this case to limit there liability. Corporations exists for two reasons 1. to make money 2. to separate ownership so the individual can't be sued. The corporation or any property it might have isn't private property because it's taxable and regulable by the owner (Government). There arealways strings attached.

Definition of private property- unregulated nontaxable property. (Blacks law Dictionary)

I've heard countless people say they should be able to run there business the way they want to. Sorry, Corps fall under Gov jurisdiction.

Our founders saw the government as servant to the people, Lawfully unable to infringe on the rights of the individual. They also can't grant an artificial entity magical powers that infringe on the individual.

Conclusion Revised- Artificial entities cannot beinfringe on the rights of the individual.Section 195 Kentucky State Constitution.Not that it doesn't happen.
