Do you still conceal carry into posted "No Carry" businesses?

When have I said I would shoot someone in my business? Don't mix up how I would defend my home with my business. Two entirely different environment.

90% of my services are by appointment, the other 10% are public walk in. My business is open doors to anyone who follows my requirements.

If I don't want them in my business anymore, I do not request, I do not ask, I do not send them a polite note, I tell them to gtfo. If they resist at all to my verbal force, I will be pressing charges or having the police press charges for trespassing.

I see that you turned your bravado down a few notches.
if your doors are open to the public you cannot in most places file any sort of trespassing complaint before requesting that person to leave your business. while telling them to gtfo out isn't the most gracious way of asking them to leave I suppose that for legal purposes is will suffice however if it escalated you would not be in a good position legally.
 
And NO-ONE on here has claimed that they DO have that ability, no matter how many times you and others have tried to twist words of others (mainly mine) to say so...

You, and others on here just keep insisting on having some kind of special "rights" that supersede everyone elses "Rights".... Yet none of you have ever proven they actually exist outside of your imaginations...

Perhaps I could put it yet ANOTHER way that you might finally understand it.... You, and others seem to be able to imagine that your "rights" have been infringed upon by something you dont even know is there and harms you in no way...
Perhaps you might finally understand that the question about rights is moot when it is understood the property owner's right to grant, or deny, permission to be on/in his property means that when the property owner denies permission for a person to enter the property owner is denying the person, his clothes, whatever he is trying to ... sneak... in, and even his rights simply because the entire person and everything about that person has been denied entry.

Nothing I have said has changed from my original statement.

I do not ask them to leave, I tell them to leave. I never stated I would press trespassing before forcing them to leave. Being open to the public, I will give a certain amount of benefit I do not give at home.

Nor do I retract my statement, in my home or its property, where I most likely will not give a verbal warning. The wall, the environment, the signs, the locks, the lights, the dogs, are enough warning.

If my business is closed, and someone breaks in, I will treat them the same as if I were home.

I know you can't keep your whopping two scenarios straight, so hopefully you don't get confused again.

Michigan Legislature - Section 750.552

THE MICHIGAN PENAL CODE (EXCERPT)
Act 328 of 1931


750.552 Trespass upon lands or premises of another; exception; violation; penalty; "process server" defined.

Sec. 552.

(1) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (2), a person shall not do any of the following:

(a) Enter the lands or premises of another without lawful authority after having been forbidden to do so by the owner or occupant or the agent of the owner or occupant.

(b) Remain without lawful authority on the land or premises of another after being notified to depart by the owner or occupant or the agent of the owner or occupant.
-snip-

Please note there isn't any method of "forbidden" or "notified" specified... so being "asked" to leave isn't a prerequisite in Michigan. And that is also noted by at least one attorney at Michigan Gun Owner's forum in the following discussion:

MGO Community Forum

Also... there is no law that I know of that requires a property owner to be polite. And make no mistake... when a property owner politely "asks" someone to leave the property owner really is demanding and requiring that person leave. He might, or might not, be polite but he is still demanding and requiring.

first off you are conflating a home with a business that is open to public entry.
now let's hear your view on this:
a door to door salesman walks up your drive, you shoot him, you claim he was trespassing and that you are within your rights to have shot him, do you think you'll prevail in court?

I think 552 b applies, you must request him to leave. if you don't think that 552 b is not a requirement that the property owner advise a trespasser to leave the property then there is little left to discuss

You did notice the law says... "shall not do ANY of the following"? It didn't say "either of the following".

And let us not stray into sensationalizing the issue with false arguments involving shooting trespassers as it doesn't help your argument or your credibility but actually does quite the opposite. I have not said a single thing about shooting anyone... I've been talking about denying folks entry to private property whether it be a home or a business. And I've pointed out ... with cites and links... to where being "asked" to leave isn't necessarily a requirement for being arrested for trespass in Michigan.

By the way... I am not "conflating" anything. I am stating that in regards to the private property right to deny entry there isn't any difference what so ever between a home or a business open to the public when it comes to the property owner's right to deny entry to those the owner doesn't want on/in his property (with the exception of protected classes for a business).

A general comment...
I wish folks would understand that "open to the public" does not mean the public has some kind of right to be there. It only means the property owner has extended an invitation to individual members of the public who are willing to abide by the conditions the owner has put upon his permission to enter and that those members of the public who do not abide by those conditions are not invited and do not have the owner's permission to enter.
 
Perhaps you might finally understand that the question about rights is moot when it is understood the property owner's right to grant, or deny, permission to be on/in his property means that when the property owner denies permission for a person to enter the property owner is denying the person, his clothes, whatever he is trying to ... sneak... in, and even his rights simply because the entire person and everything about that person has been denied entry.
YOU SIR, are STILL completely confusing a property owners RULES with his RIGHTS.... and this confusion just keeps knotting up in your head and wont let you see the facts in front of you...... to infringe a rule in no way infringes on rights, never has and never will..... (in the context of a firearm in a pocket you do not know about)

Also, the question about RIGHTS is never moot..... RIGHTS ALWAYS EXIST, EVERYWHERE, no matter how many infringing "laws" try to say otherwise....

Too bad the person you just quoted doesnt actually think so.... and it looks like you dont either....

My rights (yours too) EXACTLY LIKE YOU JUST SAID, end where the others begins.... that is the ENTIRE POINT OF MY ARGUMENT, yet YOU and all these others claim some "property owners ju-ju, "special magic" that nullifies what you claim to be supporting..... A Inanimate object of MY PROPERTY, ON MY PERSON harms (does not infringe) on ANYONES RIGHTS.........

My Rights begin at my private property line...that's the line where your Rights stop if you cross over. Remember....

Sorry, you are wrong, because without that little object they wouldnt be infringing now would they........

Without the object they wouldn't be infringing.

With the object they are infringing.

The question about whether a person has the right to bear arms by .... sneaking.... a gun onto private property where the property owner has a no guns rule is moot since the person, and everything about that person including ALL of his rights, doesn't have permission to be there.

If I owned a business and I were to exercise my private property right to control who is, and who isn't, allowed on/in my property by having a no guns rule you, you personally Axe, and everything about you including your clothes and what you are ... sneaking... in hidden in your clothes, and all of your rights, and everyone like you who thinks they can get away with ... sneaking... a gun in, do not have my permission to be there.

Thing is Axe... while rights exist everywhere a person happens to be that individual person, and everything about him including his rights, do not have permission to be everywhere. No permission means you can retain your rights ... as long as you do not come onto/into my property because you, and and everything about you including your rights, do not have my permission to be on my property. And my rules are the way I let people know what rights I will allow and which rights I will not allow them to exercise while on/in my property. Want to keep on exercising your right to bear arms? Stay off of/out of my property. If you don't and I catch you exercising your right to bear arms by ... sneaking... in a gun in violation of my no guns rule I might be polite and ask you to leave or I might just tell you to GTFO right now. Or... since I live in Michigan where the trespass statutes do not expressly require being personally notified to leave I just might call the cops and have you arrested on the spot without even saying a word to you.

And I think you understand all that about the rights of a property owner quite well or you would not continue to hang your entire argument upon the act of........ sneaking.... in a hidden gun. From your own arguments it would appear you think the low down act of ... sneaking... somehow elevates your right to bear arms above the property owner's right to not allow entry for people who bear arms.

Again Axe... if you truly believed that your right to bear arms trumps the property owner's right to deny entry to those who carry guns why do you believe it is necessary to ... sneak... a hidden gun in? If a ... sneakily.... hidden gun doesn't infringe upon the property owner's right to control who has, and who hasn't, his permission wouldn't a gun carried openly right there in plain sight also not infringe? So Axe... if you truly believe the things you keep saying why wouldn't you simply and proudly open carry your gun instead of .... sneaking... it in?

Oh... and then there is this... your very own words Axe quoted by Firefighterchen...

Axe,

Regarding rights going everywhere you go, under the 1st Amendment I can sit at the bar and loudly announce that I have a bomb in my underwear, try that at the airport. This simple fact disproves your point without all the legalese.
 
In Georgia the signs do not carry the weight of law, so I always carry where I want to.
Without my being a jerk for such is not my intention as I'm honestly curious... do the signs in Georgia serve as notification for trespass purposes? If they do then those signs may not carry the weight of a firearms law but still carry the weight of the trespass law.

could it be that those airport rules are not in line with the provisions of the 1st amendment? just because you and most others comply without question doesn't mean that the rules are legal

You should exercise that right, as soon as possible! PLEEEEEAASE go to the airport right now and announce that you have a bomb. Let me know how that cavity search works out for ya.
 
If signs carry the weight of law in your jurisdiction, you would be admitting that you are breaking the law. For those of you that went to public school, this means you could be jailed for making such an admission on the internet for all to see and read.

Threads such as this one shouldn't be allowed for everyone's sake. I try to ignore them, but when I see eleven pages, I get concerned.

I'm not sure if you even want to try that at a bar....... I think most reasonable people would take that kind of remarks as a threat. Lucky if the bar owner just toss you out, worse if he called the bomb squad on you!
 
And NO-ONE on here has claimed that they DO have that ability, no matter how many times you and others have tried to twist words of others (mainly mine) to say so...
I have eight posts in this thread. None have been a response to anything you've posted. One of them you gave a 'like' to. And I haven't twisted anything. The post you responded to was the first time I even addressed a comment by someone else here. None of my previous posts were in response to comments by anyone else, so please don't accuse me of something I haven't done. As for the post I was responding to by apvbguy, it did indeed claim that Bikenut was "just plain old wrong" when he posted that business owners have the right to set whatever conditions they want on access to their property. In other words, it was the position that apvbguy was putting forth that people have not only the ability to infringe on property owner rights, but also the right to infringe on those rights of others. There's no twisting required. You can go back and read it yourself if you want. It's post #164.
.
You, and others on here just keep insisting on having some kind of special "rights" that supersede everyone elses "Rights".... Yet none of you have ever proven they actually exist outside of your imaginations...
Where did I ever say anything even remotely resembling that? Are you sure you're responding to the correct person?
.
Perhaps I could put it yet ANOTHER way that you might finally understand it.... You, and others seem to be able to imagine that your "rights" have been infringed upon by something you dont even know is there and harms you in no way...
If I break into your house while you're on vacation in Hawaii, you may not know it until you get back. Because you aren't aware of it, does that mean I haven't violated your property rights? I have zero love for businesses that disallow the right to carry. I dislike them immensely. But that doesn't mean I therefore have the ability to infringe the rights of others. Anti-gunners actually use the same argument sometimes when they try to use the small chances of an attack as a reason to deny 2nd amendment rights. The premise is that the right isn't abridged if we're never attacked, just the same as property rights aren't abridged if a gun is never seen. If I live in a state that allows marijuana use, I can't be 100% sure of success if I tell people I don't want them bringing marijuana onto my property, but I'm still well within my rights to set that as a condition for being there. And even if someone does bring marijuana onto my property that I don't know about, that doesn't make it okay because I never see it. They've still violated my property rights and they've still violated the law if I've made it known beforehand that I don't allow marijuana on my property, even though it's perfectly legal for them to have it. My property rights don't disappear just because I can't see something.
 
In Georgia the signs do not carry the weight of law, so I always carry where I want to.

Well, while that might technically be legal, what about some respect for the property owner?

whether or not the sign has legal weight doesnt alter the owner's intent. the same property, same owner, same sign. The only thing different is whether the sign has statutory authority. In either case the owner doesnt want guns on his property, but we rather succub to the law rather than respect the individual.

True, you maybe not be breaking any law (same here in WA), but why would you give them your money? You are implicitly supporting their anti-gun beliefs. We as a group need to talk with our wallets, and let these business know that because of their sign you will be happy to take your money to their competitor across the street. How many robberies in the Target parking lot now, since they announced their stand? Do you give your money to the cashier with a wink, and say "I've got a secret". This is not, just directed to you foxytwo, but to all that think like this.

This can't be said too much, IMO.

I will never understand the concept of a gun owner who thinks a "no gun" sign is about a sign.
