I am curious as to the policy of carrying in the various Veterans Clubs in the state. Obviously guns were once not permitted because there was alcohol served on the premises. Now however, I wonder what the policy is since food is served and, if you do not partake of alcohol....guess I'll have to check it out!

Its pretty sad when they call the Cops on you. I had the Cops called on me once and missed 45 mins of the movie cause they would not let me get my ticket stub from my Wife.

The sign at Paragon disappeared months ago. I never saw it come back, in fact the place it was located was even repaired and painted. As of last night, it is still not there.

Oh, its still there and now they have them posted in the Box Office Window and wherever tickets are sold!

Something like this would mean that if a business who sells groceries or a venue who sells
concert tickets to the general public (meaning its customers are not members or part of a
private club) that laws passed by the state (ie: CHP laws) shall not be infringed. But if a
private golf club who's customers are members and its services are not available to the
general public would have the option to draft policies banning guns.

And given the sample wording that I used, not having the word guns or firearms listed
wouldn't likely raise the dander of the socialists filing the general assembly.

Yeah! That sounds like a good idea to me.

I like the way you think!

I don't like it. Violates the sanctity of private property; which, whether you realize/believe it or not, is also one of the cornerstones of our republic (or at least it originally was and always has been so far). I still think your right to carry a weapon does not extend to doing so on my private property if I object just as your right to swing your fist ends just short of my nose. Think about it for a minute. What if I walked into your living room toting a pistol and claimed it was my right? How would you feel about that? Private property is just that - private, and somebody else's.
