SicSemper: I'm with you on both posts. One's privately owned conveyance is an extention of one's home, and should be recognized as such by the law, meaning that no one should have the right to restrict anyone from keeping any lawful item inside. I also agree with you on the property rights question. One should have the right, as a private business owner, to make and enforce any rules they see fit in regards to how the business is operated, right down to who can enter their place of business and with what. If someone wants to create a "criminal-safe zone" by banning all weapons inside their business, they should have the right to do so. I always have the right to do business elsewhere. In fact, I feel that if one wanted, they should be able to refuse entry to anyone outside of a particular height, weight, hair color, etc. To do so would be at least as stupid as banning guns, if not more so, but we live in America and folks should have the right to be morons if they wish.
Thanks for the insight on the banking mindset and procedures. What you said made a lot of sense. For the record, if I'm in a bank (armed, of course, otherwise I wouldn't be there), unless someone pointed a weapon at me or started shooting people, I would do my best Sgt. Schultz impression: "I see nothing..."
Which bank do you work for? I always cringe whenever I OC into my local branch, half expecting them to ask me to take my weapon outside, which would result in the immediate and very inconvenient closure of my accounts. It would be nice to do business with one that has a known gun-friendly policy.
BTW, welcome to OCDO!
