Got to admit I am not a big fan of online ads that pop up either, though I do not care if folks have ads on their sites like the one you display for http://www.eff.org.

I definitely appreciate how the pistol in the pic wpould be silenced by the rounds in that magazine. Had me laughing.

Violet: That’s true. I suppose my main point was that one should respect the private property rights of the owners by not carrying there or, if one insists on carrying (at one’s own risk, of course), one should do so discretely and not brazenly violate the store’s rules.

Looks can be deceiving. As a store owner, I’ve been robbed by people who were dressed exceptionally well. Once, it was a man in a suit with a briefcase who was accompanied by two women in dresses. Another time, it was a youngish (20’s) man with his grandmother.

i just got off the phone with the manger from harkins. they do not have a “no firearms” sign posted up. so i dropped the question, is this a anti-rights establishemnt? no resposne, but corporate office tells the manger to ask them to leave if seen with a firearm. so i asked the question again, no response. so im guessing corporate office of harkins wants your money, just not your right to bear arms. im soooo mad.

you may also add PEI-WAY (alma school & queen creek road)

i literally just got kicked out of HARKINS THEATRE (chandler mall)

im getting the boot from left and right from managers not posting signs, yet still asking me to leave or put the gun in my car. i dont have a “gangster image” or any other image for that matter. just besides the image of a law abiding citizen excercising his 2nd amendment rights.

asking me to put the gun in the car, is making damn sure i wont be spending money at that place. not my loss.

Because if you don’t know how to use something or want to use something, it’s not a weapon. You could plop a MOAB in my living room (gently, please) and it wouldn’t be a danger to anyone as I can’t set it off and I don’t want to set it off.

On the other hand, though, if the U.S. government was so kind as to park an M61A3 PIVADS in my driveway, I’d be willing to take to the time to learn how to use it and use it well…

As someone who was seated directly next to AZ Rifleman in this discussion, I also found the pro-gun side to be rather troubling.

It seemed as if they had hijacked the forum to discuss the benefits of the RKBA as a whole, which was beside the point of the forum, making our side look like a bunch of zealots looking for a soapbox.

More on point, I personally find the legislation at hand to be rather unacceptable, which was largely why I did not speak at this forum. Why is it that a professor with a CC permit is somehow more trustworthy than myself, a student with a valid CC permit, who practices with his CCW frequently whenever time permits? We both underwent the same courses, background checks, etc, but the professor, simply due to their advanced age and education is more deserving of a means of defense than myself? I don’t like legislation that discriminates, and that’s precisely what this legislation does.

I see the argument for baby-steps, but I believe the AZ legislature has the political capital to abolish college campuses as victim disarmament zones, and should do so, instead of simply allowing professors to be legally armed and entitled to the best means of self-defense. It’s like the CCW bills for cops… I don’t believe the right direction to move in terms of further thing the RKBA is to establish separate classes of citizens, and then designate some of them more deserving of self-defense than others. I see that as a dangerous path to tread.
