Saw this sign at Kay Jewelers Sunday when I was at Town Square. I thought it was kind of amusing. I don't shop there, but I'm posting this for those of you that might.

They sure put up a nice sign. It carries no weight of law in Nv though.

I thought so too. I found it amusing that they obviously went through some effort to get the signs made and posted, but didn't do any research to find out that they're meaningless. My favorite part was about no "ordnance" allowed. I guess I need to leave my hand grenades in the car next time....

I know private store owners can set their own firearm policy, but legally you cant be held liable if you dont comply with the sign because their is no nrs covering such an event? How does this hold up for ccw because it said you could loose the ccw if you carry anywhere thats posts no guns. Of course i understand federal buildings and the like.

It's not 'anywhere' that posts no guns, it's public buildings. And the statute defines public buildings as buildings owned by the government. No worries, there is nothing in the statute that legally prohibits one from CCWing in ANY private establishment. Banks, casinos, bars or whatever, all carry no restriction by law.

I love how Kay Jewelers believes they can restrict me from carrying my firearm beyond the boundaries of their store front.

If they want me to leave, Fine! It's their store, they leased it, But they don't lease the parking lot or the streets and sidewalk. So, I guess we all know who doesn't want our money. To me Firearms owners represent a population that typically has some disposable income and lets face it, we need to buy our ladies jewelry too.

Most of my ladies jewelry comes in .45 cal? Is Kays a good source for ammo now? :lol:

I'll take a box of ammo over diamonds anyday. I do prefer .40, however. :lol:

I really hate the stupid Kay TV commercials anyway...wouldn't go there for that reason alone. The sign simply confirms that decision.

Jared's has a national policy of no weapons.....

I once bought a nice diamond necklace for the Wife, and when I went to pick it up I noticed their sign.....and promptly cancelled my sale and went elsewhere.

Now, did you tell them WHY you cancelled the purchase?

I most certainly did. While the sales person was disappointed in my decision to take my business elsewhere, the store manager didn't really seem to care.

I don't understand something...

Why all the to-do about carrying on private property? If someone, a store owner, home owner -- whoever, on his own private property does not want someone in that store or property for whatever reason -- carrying a gun or not -- concealed or open carry -- does not want you there, to my mind he has every right in the world to tell you to leave.

I don't see why law abiding citizens, like ourselves, should ever get into a fuss about that. Private property should be respected--to the hilt--at all times. This is part of our Constitutional Law and part of what we are fighting for in the Open Carry effort.

If a person does not want guns on his private property--he should be able to have it his way, like it or not, yes?

I believe most of us are just talking about our experiences, letting others know how we interact with these businesses (no guns = no money) and sharing locations that put up the signs. We all understand the property rights. I do believe that private property is just that....private. If an individual or business doesn't want me in/on their property with an open or concealed weapon I am fine with that.

Should they also ask them to leave if they are black? The 2nd amendment is in the Bill of Rights. Either a store allowsALL civil rights are they allow none. I dont see why law abiding citizens like Rosa Parks ever made a fuss either then.

A home is another story.

Rosa Parks was on a city bus, not on private property, and she was in fact breaking the law. I wouldn't try what she tried with the open carry debate--especially when on private property.

A friend of mine is of the same mind as you are, thinking he has to give up his rights in order to come onto the property. I don't agree. He does not have to enter that property at all.

I don't like that certain property owners don't allow guns on their property any more than you do. But a man has right to his own property and should be able to do as he chooses with it. That, to my mind, is the plain and simple truth of it. I'll have who and what I want in my property. Period. And if people don't like it--they can leave.

You are confusing Public and Private. The Bill of Rights -- and the natural rights -- only apply to Public, not to Private.

Private property is PRIVATE, and if the local Black Panthers want to keep me out of their clubhouse because my skin is the wrong color, then they have the right. If the KKK wants to keep me out of their clubhouse because I'm not a Democrat, that's their right. PRIVATE IS PRIVATE, whether it's a home, group or business.

Rosa Parks was in PUBLIC, kept from her rights as a citizen by the GOVERNMENT.

I can go to the lawn in front of the Capitol to condemn Harry Reid. I can't go to the pulpit of St Mark's to condemn the Pope.
