Really ?.
Yes retired LEO after just over quarter century enforcing the Constitution,not just being a keyboard warrior. [ surgerys & scars to prove it ]
Hogwash. Law enforcement doesn't enforce the Constitution and Bill of Rights, they ABIDE by it.
The Constitution and Bill of Rights are about the freedoms the public enjoys, not restrictive laws that you think are enforced by LEO.
That you spent over a quarter century in LE and don't understand that is both shameful and humorous. I learned that in 5th grade.
And first of all,where did I say anything about trespassing with a weapon or flyers ?.
You didn't. That's whats called an example. You made claims about businesses violating your Second Amendment rights, I gave you an example of what a violation of your First Amendment right would look like in your head.
And NO ,you cannot refuse to sell to "Yankees" as the poor baker found out when he would not make a 'wedding cake' for a couple of same sex dudes.
Your knowledge of that case is as ignorant as your understanding of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

He not only lost the suit,he lsot MONEY too as well as I believe his business.
Once again, wrong.
While the owners incurred considerable legal expenses they are still open for business.
And THE reason I am upset is THE reason I was refused the sale of LEGAL items.
No, you're upset because you think your rights were violated when someone simply told you "no".
It was the CHOICE of a retailer to "enforce" not a law,or a rule,or even common sense.
Sure as heck it was the retailers choice. That's kind of what freedom is all about isn't it?
It was at the "request" of the state attorney general ,AND that was to enforce laws passed by the governor in the middle of the night.
Sure, the AG of New York sends a request to every gun dealer in America. Sir, that didn't happen. What did happen is New York's
legislature passed gun laws, signed by the governor and the time of day is irrelevant.
"Laws" that are in direct violation of the U.S.Constitution and the Bill of RIGHTS.
Says who? You? Until the courts rule on a case those laws are enforceable. And if you've been paying attention the US Supreme Court hasn't been all that eager to rule on any gun cases lately.
And please do attack or defame my comments for any REAL reason,but leave my service to my nation and my oath out of it.
I didn't comment at all about your service to the nation or any oath you may have taken so cut out that nonsense.
You brought your LE background and supposed knowledge into this thread, using that to bolster any argument you were making as an authority on the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Remember this nugget of wisdom?:
"And as a retired LEO with full knowledge of the law,I have called and 'E' mailed many companys with the question " why are you depriving me of MY rights".
You failed.
That has nothing to do with what I read & explain about the laws as I read AND enforced them.
Well, your lack of knowledge on who the Bill of Rights applies to is why I asked if you had really been an LEO.
Have you ever taken an oath ?,just curious.
Yes.
But that has zero relevance to your misunderstanding of the Constitution, Bill of Rights and a companies right to not conduct business with a particular state.
And THE POINT you must have missed or ignored ---- ALL OF THE ITEMs I WAS REFUSED ARE LEGAL IN THIS STATE !!!.
I didn't miss that at all. In fact, it's not relevant. Any business can choose to not do business with residents of any state it chooses. I may choose to refuse to do business with New York state simply because I don't like New Yorkers. NO SOUP FOR YOU!!!! Wait.....where was that line uttered?
They can and by many other [ free men ] businesses ,sold to me AND shipped to my home address.
So.What.
The ones that chose NOT to sell to you are not violating your Second Amendment rights, just hurting your feelings.
I go to the library to get stuff printed.
