It's kind of like this. If I operate a tavern and a couple Baptists come in, I cannot deny them entry or the ability to purchase a drink simply because they are Baptists. However, if they start practicing their religion by telling all my customers about the evils of drinking, I can ask them to leave.

Michigan Capitol bans open carry weapons
Re: Michigan Capitol bans open carry weapons
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

For what it's worth, in Michigan there are 10 Prohibited Premises that CPL holders cannot carry their firearm. According to the Michigan State Police:
Post Offices, which are under the auspices of the Federal Government prohibits firearms in the parking lot as well. And any property owned by the University of Michigan as well as property owned by Wayne State University. The elites get to make their own rules. Ever been to downtown Ann Arbor? Can you figure out what is campus and what isn't?“Premises” does not include the parking areas of the places listed above.
The vast majority of business, especially retail, do not own the parking lot. They rent. Now, if you do own the parking lot and want to post a easily seen sign at the entrance to the parking lot, you are certainly within your right to do so. If you see anyone in your parking lot with a gun, you can ask them to leave. If they don't, they are committing a crime and you should call the police.
How would you handle CPL holders that have a pistol in their car? What about the folks that carry concealed everyday? About 7% of the population in the State of Michigan have a CPL. About 2% carry concealed every day. Are you OK with those folks having a firearm in their car in your parking lot, as they are allowed to do by law, or are you more concerned with what I call the "cowboys" that feel important letting everyone know they have a gun?

Walmart don't care what you got in your pants while you're in the store. They just don't want it hanging out.
Re: Michigan Capitol bans open carry weapons
More so the cowboys... the CPL folks fall under the “we don’t know what we don’t know” category. It’s a little harder to catch somebody with a gun in their center console. On the flip side I could post security at the entrance to my parking lot and hand them a book of terms and conditions that includes being subject to search before entering the premises. Catch them with it and they will be denied entry.Bryce wrote: ↑Wed Jan 13, 2021 8:20 amFor what it's worth, in Michigan there are 10 Prohibited Premises that CPL holders cannot carry their firearm.

Long overdue.
They/them, non-binary and proud.
Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.
