Walmart cannot legally kick you out as they are open to the public as a public accomodation. Anyone who is legally shopping even while legally armed is allowed to enjoy the accomodation under the law.

A law suit for deprivation of civil rights is in order.

TITLE 42 > CHAPTER 21 > SUBCHAPTER I > §1983 Prev | Next §1983. Civil action for deprivation of rights How Current is This? Every person who, under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United States or other person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress, except that in any action brought against a judicial officer for an act or omission taken in such officer’s judicial capacity, injunctive relief shall not be granted unless a declaratory decree was violated or declaratory relief was unavailable. For the purposes of this section, any Act of Congress applicable exclusively to the District of Columbia shall be considered to be a statute of the District of Columbia.

So, JG... do you think this makes it illegal for someone to stop another person from carrying a firearm into a government building or a handgun into a bar or through a school zone?

The question would be more of whether or not it is constitutional.

In the words of the great Judge Napolitano:

I think he would know the law much more than you or I.

I would HOPE, although not necessarily think that he would know more about the law than you or I.

In this instance he is wrong. He says that Starbucks could not prohibit guns because they are a "place of public accommodation." The federal public accommodations law only prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, or national origin. Wisconsin also has a public accommodations law which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex, race, color, creed, disability, sexual orientation, national origin or ancestry.

If he is correct, then where is there an instance of a successful lawsuit against the many private businesses that will not allow firearms?

Well said Douglas. In the video the judge says the supreme court will give us a definitive answer on guns once and for all, then the host interupts the judge and I cannot make out whathe said:question:But I believe he was gonna say basically what you posted.

Well the Lake Delton Wal-mart is usually full of tourists but not this time of year. I'd be very and I mean VERY weary of where you carry around this area. No one really knows the firearm laws that well here. I remember shooting a movie for school with fake guns and everytime we got the cops called on us. The people here a paraniod about every little thing. I don't know what to tell you.:? Maybe if we can get Doyle out and someone from the Right in office we wouldn't have this problem.:idea:

Who has tried ? Oh thats is right. This is one of the principles on which the Gonzales suit stands if I am not mistaken. Deprivation of civil rights.
Telling someone to leave simply because they are lawfully and legally armed is no different than telling them to leave because they are black, white or blue.

The US code is very specific,

" Every person who, under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United States or other person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity"

If you ask me Open Carry is a Right secured by the constitution, both U.S and Wisconsin. By demanding you leave the store simply because you are armed legally and lawfully, they are discriminating against you because you are exercising a right.

Now I am not a lawyer, maybe I am wrong on this but I do not think so. Maybe if some that are here are attorneys could tell me if I am wrong about this.

Judge Napolitano is a Civil Rights advocate and has dealt with these issues for years. It would be interesting to find out for sure if he is right or wrong. Personally I lean toward him being right. But that is just my .02.

He filed against a private business because it's a place of public accommodation? I don't think so! There's no private businesses involved in the suit, is there?

While Walmart may not be listed in the suit, as of yet, The reason there even is a suit is because he was deprived of his rights. Could Walmart be listed as a defendant? I would think so. Though I think the focus is on the arrest and detainment of property instead.

IMHO, until Wally World is listed as a defendant in a case this BS will go on forever. There is such a high turnover in employees at Wally World that every time you deal with a store the employees are new and are not aware of the policy. Some one needs to force their hand and make them educate their employees on their own policy.

Meanwhile, I'll patiently wait for someone to cite verifiable examples of a private business, as a place of public accommodation, being successfully sued for the deprivation of a civil right because they prohibited their customers from carrying firearms.

"Judge" Napolitano sounded very confident in his statement. Yet we all know there are many such places of public accommodation that have a policy prohibiting firearms by customers. Why hasn't the EEOC been flooded with complaints from all over the country?

Could Napolitano have just been blowing smoke on national TV? :what:Impossible! :lol:

I-ANAL either. Alan Gura is a good one, did he waste the Court's time with MacDonald?

What is Judge Napolitano's jurisdiction, please?

Why should I contact him? He's your authority, not mine. I say he's wrong and I'm waiting for someone to provide a shred of evidence to support the opinion he expressed in that video clip.
