Yes or No

The only thing broke is your understanding o English 101. I've got my MBA and your snide remarks about WV prove your* less than intelligent. Your grasp of the written English language is the equivalent of my 7 year old.

I graduated from an alternative high school, joined the Marine Corps at 18 and never went to college. BTW, you misspelled you're*.

Think again. "you're" replaces YOU ARE. My statement was possessive YOUR UNDERSTANDING, not you are understanding. I sincerely appreciate your service to this country but your English is clearly Alternative.

If you reread your quote I was even kind enough to mark the "your" [sic], that I was talking about. As far as I am aware "you're" is fairly well accepted as a contraction for "you are." As in "...prove you're* less than intelligent." Anyhow, I'm not trying to get up in arms about it, but if you're going to brag about your level of education it helps to back it up.

Say there was not a Constitution....

Sorry but I don't play "the what if there was no Constitution game."

The reality is we do have a Constitution that proclaims certain God given rights which many have given their lives to defend.

Putting the english debate aside, I agree with firefighterchen. Not being a legal expert, but rather a believer in property owner rights, a private party has the right to put up a sign saying 'no weapons' or some such thing. However, the states have different takes as to the legal legitimacy of such signs. Some states side with the rights of the legally armed citizen, some with the property owner. Texas even went so far as to place requirements for the content of the sign, it had to site the Texas statute and be written in Spanish and English. (ok, it was over a decade ago that I took a concealed carry class in Texas, so Texas CHL holders feel free to chime in if this is out of date!).

Point being, yes the Constitution protects the right to keep and bear arms. It also protects freedom of speech. Lastly, the right of the legally armed citizen to patronize businesses that respect their rights also exists. Read the laws for your area and make a smart decision for you. Personally, I'd love for Target and Walmart to post "No Weapons" signs.... 'Sorry honey, I can't go in there, shucks..."
