Reply #199: What is YOUR Problem? [View All]

[fightthegoodfightnow]

You write: 'I NEVER advocated ignoring posted signs. What is your problem?"

MY problem? Sounds like YOU have a problem.

Let's be clear: I understand perfectly that you have NEVER advocated ignoring a posted sign. That was never in dispute. What I take issue is that the person who owns the property should be held liable for the actions of someone who does.

Allowing a gun on the property or not allowing a gun on the property is irrelevant to the discussion of anyone other than the criminal being responsible for his or her actions. Some have argued that to deny someone the 'right' to carry a gun on their property increases the risk of endangerment.. I have argued just the opposite.... that allowing guns in a bar or restaurant is more likely to increase accidents, shootings and harm. As evidence, I offer the support of the National Restaurant Association (Exhibit A), who has more of an interest in restaurants/bars than you. They, like most restaurant/bar owners, not unlike most Americans, know that the combination of guns and alcohol are not good (Exhibit B - Dick Cheney's one beer hunting trip).

Let's see if you can elevate the conversation a bit. Give it a try.
