Hyperbole and not addressed in my post(s).
You patronize a business that does not respect your RKBA, while there is a comparable business that respects your RKBA.
You should focus your advocacy efforts in UT to enacting legislation denying a employer the right to peaceably control his property (business) as he sees fit, mandating that employees cannot be denied their RKBA while on the job, if they choose to do so. You clearly do not recognize the right of a property owner to peaceably control his property as he sees fit, and such a law would be consistent with your position on property rights.
No big deal, we all make choices. You do not rationalize the decision you knowingly make and thus act upon.This is a interesting point for me to ponder. Once or twice a year I am faced with the choice of refusing the Little Lady's insistence we go to a movie, going unarmed, or intentionally ignore the theater's wishes and carry secretly.
I guess I always justify it to myself with the excuse that I am not directly hurting the property owner, but I do concede that I am ignoring his wishes.
I have the utmost respect for those who make no excuses to justify the choices they make in their daily comings and goings. +1 to you Sir.
In my opinion, respecting rights is respecting rights. I choose to behave using this a my foundational principal. I find that I get along with folks better when I respect their rights when on their property. Where we disagree, I leave them be and go on about my business...no hard feelings.
Again, a business recognizes my RKBA, I patronize their business if they provide a service or product to my liking. They do not recognize my RKBA, I recognize their right to control their property as they see fit, and I will not patronize their business.
