Guess which person is NOT allowed in Kroger's Grocery Store ! (pic)

Apparently there hasn't been, but now that the door has been opened, give it time...... it'll happen.

I'm just replying to the topic and it's gotten interesting.....

 

Except for bonafide military personnel, you've probably never see a person carrying an "Assault rifle" anywhere. They are legal for civilians to own, but very rare, and very expensive, and it requires a microscope up the ass background check. Semi-auto sporting rifles are a totally different story.

 

I wonder if the guy in the picture was intentionally picked due to his long curly hair and beard. Not saying he looks like a middle eastern man but, he looks like a middle eastern man. Persian perhaps?


Sure it was only a coincidence.

 

Your snarky comments really have very little meaning in the real context of why people carry. It’s really none of your business as to why someone chooses to exercise their rights. I do not have to explain myself to you or anyone else as to why I do something within the constraints of the law.

Why are you more comfortable with someone that is CCW than open? The gun is still there; the only difference is your perception and discomfort of seeing the weapon.

 

An armed populace greatly reduces the chance of a government running rough shod over it's citizens and that is why the very first thing an oppressive gov does is take away guns.

 

Aw, this is beyond ridiculous.... I am ONLY talking about a rifle in a grocery store that's crowded w/people and the panic/hysteria it would very likely cause, all b/c one person wants to exercise his rights.......

What part of this can't you understand?

 

I honestly think its you who is having a hard time understanding . Our rights are important , exercising them is important no matter how scared the old maids get at the grocery store. I dont know if you just saw the video of a hundred thugs outside of Kroger attacking people, but a CCW isnt going to cut it....

 

it should be perfectly legal to carry an AK-47 in a store.

but the store owner himself, should ban it.

its called "private property rights"

 

I carry where ever I want.

 

So you support "private property rights" as long as they do what you say?

 

Staying on the subject, I understand it perfectly - a guy wants to exercise his rights by parading around a busy grocery store w/his rifle strapped to his back and that's his only reason for being there, not giving a rat's ass how his intimidating presence would cause hysteria. Isn't that the gist of this thread?

No, I didn't see the video and that's a different scenario than what this thread is about......

 

I have been in public places (i.e. stores) when people have walked in, and around the stores carrying rifles.

Funny, no one went screaming for the door.

 

if i see someone walking into a Walmart or Target with an AK-47, I will get the (*)(*)(*)(*) out of there!!!!

 

So, a store owner should serve anyone and everyone because they are a "public" business, but in the same breath they should ban people from exercising certain other rights?

Got it.

And the left wonders why they hold the crown for hypocrisy.

How many instances of people parading around a store with a rifle on their back for the sake of parading around the store with a rifle on their b ack have you seen or encountered?

 

businesses have the right to restrict free speech on their property.

they can restrict freedom of assembly on their property.

they can restrict which weapons you can bring in, and how.

 

But we are not talking about your house, we are talking about businesses that serve the public.

You did say "store owner", right? Not, "home owner"....

Please refrain from attempted goal post relocation efforts.

 

sorry bro, but private businesses can limit what you can say, do, dress like, on their property.

they have the right to regulate and restrict the conduct of their employees and patrons.

 

Just not exercising freedom of religion, right?

 

they can forbid you from praying on their private property, yes.

 

Only as long as it suits your leftist agenda, then it's ok.

 

stop trolling.


you seem to be suggesting that business owners are obligated to protect all Constitutional rights on their property.

so, you actually think private business owners are obligated to let you hand out political flyers, or making political speaches, or hold political rallies, on THEIR private store property???

lol!!!!!!!!!!

 

Private business owners can only do what is politically in vogue that year.

 

How is it different ? Do you leave the house knowing a gang of a 100 thugs will be outside the supermarket you are shopping in ?

 

Private business have every right to regulate the conduct of their shoppers.

they can ban certain clothes, regulate behavior, etc etc.

you have NO right to political free speech in a store.

they can ask you to leave if you decide to start making political speaches in the middle of 7-11.

they can ask you to leave if you throw down a prayer rug and start praying in Arabic.

they can ask you to leave if you're walking around with an axe.

and yes, they can ask you to leave if you're carrying an AK-47.

 

Of course they can't allow a business to refuse business with others that violate their religion...I think you know what I was referring to.

Which is the point.
