Reply #107: You're the one who would deny the owner the choice to allow carry or not. [View All]

You do not have a constitutional right to bring your gun onto anyone's property.

I didn't argue that I did. I'm not saying that a property owner shouldn't be able to post their business as a no-carry zone; they are free to do that even if the state does not ban carry in restaurants. That's not the issue.

What you are saying is that a property owner shouldn't even have the option of allowing authorized individuals to carry in their restaurant by choosing not to post it as a no-carry zone. You would make CHL's null and void in ALL restaurants that have a wine list, regardless of the owners' views. Which makes it a bit ironic that you are hiding behind the "my property, my rules" argument, because proprietor's choice is what I support and you deny in this particular case.

The law you advocate would deny the property owner the right to set her/his own carry policy for her/his own restaurant, by simply banning lawful carry across the board unless the restaurant gives up its wine list and pretends all its customers are Baptist teetotalers.
