Heh, heh, heh.,,

I can make the same argument. Respect my right to carry anywhere that is legal.

went way off topic

I wil come right out and say I disagree with Yoda and that he found it amusing that he snuck a weapon past security. The replies also drifted way off topic. This thread is not something I would want the antigun crowd to see!
A similar thing happened to me, I went to an air show at a National Guard base. It wasnt until I got to a security checkpoint that I realized I was still carrying. I went to security and advised that I did have a concealed weapon and permit on me. After a low key conversation and quick look at my ID I was allowed to continue on in to the air show still carrying concealed.
I never felt the need to post what happened that day, certainly not to be what appears to be bragging about it.
In conclusion, I have two comments, there are several ways to tackle a problem and I dont believe Yoda took the right one (my opinion only)
Second is to respond to the question of carrying open or concealed on private property. I get to say who will carry on my property and that is as it should be! The other sides have a right too. Not just your right to KABA. I DO NOT HAVE TO RECOGNISE A RIGHT TO CARRY ON MY PROPERTY PERIOD!
Too many more threads like this one and its bye bye THR for me

A public auditorium, or a business open to the public, does not enjoy the same private property rights as your home.

I think a previous poster was right Yoda. We can't have a logical and reasonable discussion on this as long as emotional opinions are running rampant. On this thread, I'll bow out gracefully.

I just wish people would learn to separate their opinions from legal rights.

Lest we all forget, this is not a carry or don't carry dichotomy. There is a third option--you can choose to avoid entering private property where you know guns are unwelcome. Nobody makes you go there, and you have no inherent right to go there.

For the umpteenth time: you enter private property at the pleasure of the owner; it is a privilege that carries conditions. If that set of conditions includes that you disarm, but you elect to remain armed, you are clearly violating the conditions under which you were granted the privilege of entry. No matter what is technically legal, that practice is disrespectful and wrong.

If you just can't go in without your gun, exercise your right--your right to go somewhere else.

Dang straight!

Rosa Parks NEVER should have sat in the front of a bus where she was not 'welcome'.

And let us not even talk about the lunch counter at Woolworths.. . .

I think the real offense was posting in glee about getting over on the event organizers.

Apparently state law made it legal despite the organizer's wishes. OK, if its legal, then just keep quiet. But some previous poster was right, this is exactly the thing that makes the gun control crowd thinks of us as untrustworthy renegades.

Well, if you came onto my property with that attitude....you'd immediately be looking at the business end of my firearm as I call the sheriff.

I hope you don't let me in too close a proximity to that firearm.

Wouldn't want you to get shot with your own gun.

Really, k_dawg?!

Seriously, this debate has nothing to do with racial equality. It has everything to do with who is in charge on privately owned property and therefore gets to make the rules.

Mrs. Parks protested an inherently unfair and discriminatory practice that was occurring on a publicly owned conveyance, and thankfully her action was a spark in getting it corrected. Are you equating a private property owner being able to specify how people act on his own property with a municipality being able to impose racial discrimination on its population when they board a public bus?

Seriously?

Thank you Beatledog 7. Very well said!
As for me I am out of here and probably wont look in again except for the revolver and reloading forums.
Just call me old fashioned but I like to respect others as I expect respect from them, this thread and this portion of the forum isnt for me I guess.
it started in what appeared to be a boast aboug getting by security and finished up with reference to race? I think Rosa Parks might be a little upset that her name was used to try and sway this debate!
Wow talk about trying anything to defend a position.
Im probably double the age of most of the members and perhaps have a different perspective. Florida only gained the right to carry a few years ago and it seems some feel the need to exercise their rights to the fullest extent and to heck with any one else. My state has had the right to carry as far back as I can remember and we dont have anything to prove here!
As in my previous response, I stated that YES I respect the right to carry, but if I say NO, then not on MY property. For me that means anywhere someone posts no firearms, I will respect that wish.
So long all, I'm off to the Revolver forum where cooler heads prevail

About 25 years ago.

I suppose "a few years" can mean different things to different people. Seeing as how I am 20-something, 25 years seems like it was awhile ago, to me.

 

[SEE IT LIKE A NATIVE]

I don't understand all the fuss ! the OP legally carried a firearm into a venue that was not posted . So that he could protect himself in the parking area after the show ! Makes a comment that the security although present did a poor job of searching for contraband ! Then somebody from somewhere unknown gets offended and threatens to throwdown on anyone entering his fiefdom armed armed without his permission ? I still don't see how you would know he was armed if his firearm was concealed properly ? Kevin

 

[Sam1911]

I'm going to close this as it seems we're coming pretty much to something like the closest thing to consensus we're going to get, but folks still seem pretty up in arms.

Good debate, but we've probably wrung out all the value at this point.
