I'm almost hoping Open Carry fails… here's why

No, I don't own property that's open to the public. But I'm not arguing that a property owner shouldn't be able to ban firearms. I'm arguing that if they want to ban firearms, then they need to actually take active measures to ensure that firearms are not brought onto their property, not just passively posting a sign which does nothing to prevent someone with ill intent from carrying a gun.

Would you be willing to do all of this on your personal property?

Sure, why wouldn't I?

And as far as reciprocity and the GFSZ law, it would be nice if Cornyn's reciprocity bill changed the GFSZ law to explicitly allow any other carry licenses that were recognized by the state where the GFSZ is located.

MPA as well. I can't imagine how many people unknowingly violate GFZs across the country every day.

Of all the cops I know and have in my family, none of them care about enforcing the federal gun free zone law unless they bust someone for another serious crime.

Then that is where we disagree, I want to be able to hang a sign and call the sheriff if somebody ignores it. Not jump through hoops to make absolutely sure.
