A place of public business is private property. It is not a public place, it is a privately owned facility. The owner is not bound by the second amendment, only the government is bound by it. As a business owner I'm free to choose who I allow on my property. And when I say it's time to go... it's really time to go. I believe that is what makes America great. I have the right to toss junior out by his ear without fear of repercussion. If he refuses to leave he's charged with criminal trespass.OK. Time to stir the pot again. A place of public accommodation/business/employment is not truly private property, and the government already infringes on the rights of the owners of such places in thousands of ways (zoning laws, civil rights laws, disability laws, financial laws). A business owner is not free to conduct business in any way they choose.

The same holds for the first amendment. You aren't free to come into a privately owned store and begin speaking your mind regarding any topic. Get up on a soapbox and spout political rhetoric and you'll be booted. Because the first amendment is between you and the government, not between you and I. I don't have to allow freedom speech on my privately owned property.

Couldn't be more wrong. I can throw you out for being armed and you have no civil rights case. Gun owners are not protected under the Civil Rights Act of 1964. You also have no second amendment case because I'm not the government. Law suit? Go ahead, I can afford the attorneys. Besides, I'm insured for legal costs. If your suit is deemed frivolous by the court there's a huge fine and assignment of my costs to you. If you lose I return the favor with a suit for malicious prosecution. If you win I don't pay you... ever... regardless of court orders. If I win I move on your personal assets. Those of us with business smarts don't hold assets within the company. We establish a holding company as a distinct entity, thus assets can't be attached. You get zippoAnd you and I both know that your statement is only true to a point. You throw the wrong person out of your business and they make the right Civil Rights case they will own your business. You do not have complete freedom to throw out anyone you like. You do not have complete freedom to refuse to hire anyone you want. You don't have the right to refuse service to absolutely anybody you wish. I guess it might be okay for you to bluster like that here on this thread, but you know as well as I do that the reality is your rights as a business owner have legal limitations.
They're protected under the civil rights act.Look what's happening with the Christian cake baker in Colorado that didn't want to bake a cake for a same-sex couple.
I don't think they can do that retroactively. That's a bait and switch tactic. In NYC they have rent controlled apartment buildings where the owner/landlord may not raise the rent on the tenant that lives in the building above a minimal fixed amount until that tenant either moves or dies. Once that happens the landlord has the right to charge free market rates but as long as the tenant occupies the apartment they are prohibited from changing the rent. If the lease he signed doesn't prohibit firearms, the landowner can't enforce the new rule until he moves out and they get a new tenant.
They're protected under the civil rights act.
