I respect property rights of others and fully believe that any business should be able to hire, serve, sell or not to anyone they wish. There are consequences to their actions though. If they choose to not allow shoppers to defend themselves we need to make a law that transfers all liability to those same stores owners that prevent people from defending themselves.
If I own a store and I don't employ armed security, I would think twice about disarming the customers (and employees) if I were held liable both civily and criminally if anything happened to one of my customers. How about the regents at VA Tech sitting in jail for banning firearms? How about the Superintendant and Board of Supervisors sitting in Jail for not protecting the students at Columbine? (probably more state and federal hold responsibility than local school staff)
If people are allowed to protect themselves, or choose not to, business would removed of all liability.
(Actually in my humble opinion, every state and federal representative that votes against allowing citizen self defense should be strung up. After all we only have so much room in jail!)
