Whoa! Easy there, big fella.

Lean back in your chair, breath in and out slowly. Think happy thoughts. Focus....on the front sight and press the trigger. Envision sending a few downrange.

Feel better?

I intend on feeling better at about 9am tomorrow...

Redefining premises is #1 with me. I'd like to see "premises" expanded to include your personal vehicle. If someone doesn't want me to carry on my person in their building or outside my vehicle on their property, that's their right. I don't like it, but by the same token I'm sure some people wouldn't like that I don't allow certain language or smoking in my house. But it is my property and my right.

However, by limiting my right to carry on my premises (vehicle), they have limited my right to defend myself when I am off their lot.

IMHO, redefining premises to include your vehicle (actually any vehicle you may occupy) is the best balance of protecting my right to carry and their right to control their property.

This has been the angle I have been touting for years...If an "entity" is going to be allowed to restrict, then we should be allowed to carry to the facility, discretely disarm (as to not alarm to populace), securely store our weapon, conduct our business, then do the opposite on the way out and continue with our day...

If its an issue to provide for that to happen...Then I see it as a better use of revenue to provide for this revision to the "system"...

If the City of Houston can spend 3 million plus dollars on a less than lethal Taser guns for most of its patrol folks, that is being argued to be "more than" less than lethal (Good call COH! /sarcasm) then I think a few storage boxes could be had for way less than that at ALL city facilities, and could be implemented right now! Its not that hard...But they'll make it that way...

I do not go to a facility just so I can be some pain in their arses with my "capability"...Its not about them...It IS about those of us who "choose" to exercise this right...And if there are un-necessary hoops we have to jump through, then maybe some (and eventually all) of those need to be removed...period!

This is really neccessary to protect our right to carry... same would need to apply to employers who restrict carry by employees.

FWIW

That makes two people now...

Opps, I remember that thread a while back about this idea...

It is worth it...
