If you aren't part of the solution, then you obviously weren't properly dissolved.

Good. That jerk should have never mentioned it. I'm sure it won't stop him though. The upside is, we get to point out the blatant disregard for the will of the people.

Huh. The Eo50 was amended. It originally stated open and concealed carry was prohibited. Now it just states open carry.

So, given the wording, is this EO enforcement effectively the same as for private business? Notify the open carrier that he must have missed the signs at the door and insist he/she remove the sidearm or face a trespass charge?
