Permit holders are the least likely demographic to commit any kind of crime. Not just violent crime, but any kind of crime at all, including theft while you're not home, or even littering on your property. Permit holders are not your enemy, the guy who has an illegal firearm and intends to brake some laws today is your enemy, and he's not gong to tell you he's armed or honor any sign. Gun control doesn't work, whether we're talking a public policy on public land or your own private rule in your business. Gun control does not work.
What does work, is an armed population. This is true whether we're talking about a public population, or the micro population just on your land. More gun = less crime, categorically.
Thats great but I do not care demographically what people do, what I do care about is what a individual is doing on my property. This is not a social issue or a race issue etc. what is, is about is private property rights of individuals. And the NRA supports special laws that circumnavigate the Constitution in order to give a person carrying a gun a special right that no one else has.
The 2nd Amendment is all that us gun owners need, not yet more laws.
I dont really agree though with the reasoning that "More gun = less crime". In fact the notion is silly. There are plenty of historical examples that prove otherwise. Which puts all guns owners in a disadvantage when we parrot things like that. The reason is that it easily argued against. All one needs to do is point out that there are people that are not responsible gun owners, like gang members for example. Go into south central L.A. and tell me that all those guns made a safer society. Ever heard of the term outgunned? It isnt responsible gun owners that are being thought of when the gun control nuts go off on their tangents. They are afraid of the bad people with guns. Every time there is a mass shooting the gun control nuts capitalize on it. And when people like the NRA in tun claim that if there had been a gun carrier there all would have been different. But those that want gun control dont want people shooting it out with innocent people in between. And thats all they can see is people shooting despite people being around them. They think that guns are too dangerous for common people to own, since they are afraid of guns and would never own one. So it takes a little tact on our part to not say things like 'yep if I were there I would have..'. The fact is that you were not there, so its pointless to assume that you would have been a hero.
Better too attack illegal gun use in my opinion.
I try to state things as simply as I can, for my own sake if not for others...
We hold that just like race, religion, nationality, etc, that lawfully possessed firearms are part of what you are choosing to welcome on to your property when you welcome the public per-se onto your property, because lawfully possessed firearms are a part of the law-abiding public.
A manufacturing plant does not allow the public on the property. And the employees in most cases are under strict orders to behave a certain way to dress a certain way and to not go in certain areas at all unless authorized. Which demonstrates that employees are invitees. AN employer at their own discretion can make any spot off limits to employees for the reasons that they want. AN employer can also ban personal music players and cell phones. An employer can make a rule saying that you cannot eat except during lunch or break. AN employer can make a rule against the employees speaking at certain times or in certain places or at least at a low volume. An employer can fire you for making rude comments. An employer can make you go home and change your clothes before coming back to work. An employer can require you to put all of your belongings in a locker and wear a uniform while at work.
The point is that the employee voluntarily does these things if they want the job. If there are rules you do not want to follow quit and get another job.
But a contractor working at someones home has even more stringent laws to follow than in a manufacturing plant. The home has special legal status under the Constitution. The right to privacy in a citizens home is top priority. Your right to carry a gun takes a bake seat to private property rights especially in someones home. Regardless of what corrupt laws that you and the NRA get passed most Americans will still choose who goes in their homes. Call us a bunch of assholes if you wish but it wont change a thing, we will still judge you as the people hedging liberties.
