Hypothetical situation is as follows:
I have a petting zoo. This petting zoo is on land leased from the state gov't on a 20 year lease.
Everything has been fine for the first 15 years, but this year some idiot shoots my $20,000 Al Paca for spitting on him. Insurance covers this, but my rates go up by several thousand per year.
Seeing as times are tough and I'm not getting the business I used to, I can't afford the higher insurance. I work out a deal with the insurance company. Ban guns and I get my old rate back.
Does the fact I'm leasing public property cause me to fall under preemption? Or do I have private property rights allowing me to ban guns?
