Now that I am in SC concealed carry is a bit more cumbersome. A business can post a sign stating no concealed carry and by law you are required to respect it. Unfortunately since I am in the Columbia area these signs are quite popular. In Orlando they would post the same signs, however they were unenforceable.
I never did understand why you had to get a permit for concealed carry. I hope everyone follows Kansas's lead.
All very interesting, these American gun laws and restrictions, particularly those concerning handguns.
Legal handgun carry in Canada is restricted to police officers, those dealing with large amounts of cash (such as armored truck guards) Border guards, and some people (such as trappers) living in remote areas whose lives may be threatened by wildlife.
A question re "concealed carry" - if most law-abiding owners consider handgun possession as a deterrent against crime, why conceal it?
And in states or jurisdictions that allow C.C., why do private businesses have the right to refuse entry? Does this also apply to those with sidearms openly displayed?
This puts me in mind of the uproar in Indiana over the "Religious Rights" bills being debated/amended. How much control should the government have over private business, and who they can or cannot cater to?
Is there a similar amount of protest from handgun owners against private businesses that can restrict entry?
Cheers!
For businesses that restrict entry people just take their business elsewhere when able. As for concealed vs open carry, open would be a lot more comfortable but currently it is illegal. On the other side I would imagine you are far more likely to get shot with open carry if someone was going to commit a crime they would probably drop you before you had a chance to see it coming. When concealed you never know who is armed and who as not which in my mind would make thieves think twice.
Permits for carry only hinder good people. A criminal is just that a criminal, they don't respect the law.
When it comes to whatever is going on in Indiana. My personal stance is that a business owner should be able to do whatever they damn well please. If their actions are reprehensible let the free market put them out of business by not giving them any business. Having the government say you legally have to provide services to people dates back to when it was about racism. We have come a long way since then and the law should be changed to reflect the current state of our society.
