Would you refuse to go someplace based on whether or not you could carry a gun?
It depends. As I wrote in another similar thread, there a was public hearing last Monday about the 4 solar power companies that have plans to install solar cell farms around the valley here, and it was being held in the local high school. I didn't want to miss out on an opportunity to make my voice heard (though I doubt it did much good), so I went - unarmed of course.
Also, our polling place for county, state and federal elections is in the local middle school, and I'm not about to
not vote just because I can't legally carry a gun when I go to the polling place.
I have a hard time with this question because I'm retired. There's no place I go except the VA that I can't carry. I won't jeopardize my VA benefits by carrying there.
Same with me. I left my gun locked in my truck when I visited the VA clinic last week. I occationally do the same thing when I visit the Social Security Office.
Would you refuse to see you're favorite artist in concert if you couldn't bring your gun?
Probably not, however I simply can't think of an artist that I favor so much that whether or not I go to see him or her would depend on whether or not I could "bring a gun."
Would you refuse to visit the Grand Cañon unarmed?
Been there already - no desire to go there again, armed or not. Now if you're talking about National Parks in general, we're not that far from Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, and we visit them
armed quite often. In fact, just last month we rode with friends over to see the elk and bison in the Jackson Hole elk refuge (just south of Grand Teton National Park, and I
think 3 of the 4 people in that car were armed. I know my wife and I were - just like we will be when we're in church tomorrow morning.
