Re: In regards to SB 235 (Personal Protection in Restaurants)
February 23, 2009 - 6:49pm — ThomasBrockPerhaps my snark wasn't clear.
I don't think concealed weapons should be allowed anywhere at any time by any one (that's not a badged law enforcement officer).
My point is that when a state legislator stood and said smoking should be banned from restaurants, the Right said it was another example of the State robbing property owners and business proprietors of their rights. Yet, there's no such response when Mr. Brock (no relation) says that property owners and business proprietors should have no say in allowing a loaded, concealed and dangerous firearm into their business.
It's hypocrisy and it may well get someone killed.

There is this thing called the Constitution and if you deny one of it's parts then you open the door to denying another part. Like the 1st Amendment or even the 4th as a example.
10th Circuit Court of Appeals just made it illegal for your workplace buinesses from preventing you from having a concealed weapon in your vehicle on campus of a workplace.

In regards to SB 235 (Personal Protection in Restaurants)
February 23, 2009 - 10:37am — ThomasBrockShouldn't the business proprietor have the right to decide whether or not concealed weapons should be in his/her restaurant?
