Gunbuster Signs

[Gladiator]

Here is a bit of info for AZ residence.

Don't bring your handgun to Tailgaters pizza shop. They are one of the few holdouts in AZ which have a gunbuster sign posted in the window. I ordered a pizza by phone the other day and saw the sign when I went in to pick it up. Told them to keep their pizza and told them why.

They have two locations that I know of in AZ. Litchfield Pk and Prescott. The only one I've been to is the one in Litchfield Pk so I can't speak for the Prescott store.

Actually it has been discussed before.

While we have a right as an individual to carry, we do not have the right to force that belief on others. A business, as a private entity has the right to not allow guns. If you elect to frequent a business that does not allow carrying, then abide by their rules, or find someplace to shop.

My gun rights end at the gate of someone's home, business, or land.

Thankfully, in many states both one's right to be armed and property rights are seen to coexist, not one set of rights trumped by the other. They're implemented, in practice, via such signage holding no weight of law yet acknowledging trespass if refusing to leave if asked. One still has every right to remain armed, it's just that one doesn't have the right to ignore a legitimate property holder's right to ask one to leave for whatever reason.

I live in NYC, and the only time I have EVER seen a "no-guns" sign in an establishment, was in Virginia. :)

We need a thread to discuss the 2nd Amendment and the right of businesses to post gun buster signs.

Anyway, here is a bit of info for AZ residence.

You ordered the pizza, then when you found out they didn't allow guns you backed out on the deal?

I'm all for boycotting, but you should have honored the deal you made with them, and then not gone back. Next time you order out ask the place if they allow guns if you feel so strongly about it. Don't set the owners back because you were ignorant to their position.

Just sayin'

I'm not sure how the Second Amendment figures into the rights of private property owners.

"Congress shall make no law"....doesn't affect what private-property owners do on their property.

While I wholeheartedly disagree with that the reason for my post was simply to inform others about the sign in that particular store, not to start a debate. Please save your lectures for someone else.

"We need a thread to discuss the 2nd Amendment and the right of businesses to post gun buster signs." Seems like a debate starter from here.

I really don't give a diddly bleep about what you think I should have done.

You're right. I shouldn't have started off with that statement. I have edited my original post and deleted it.

There are virtually no legal guns carried by private citizens in NYC, so why would businesses there need to post?

Oh, you mean like creating a pond in your back yard? Stocking that pond with fish, and then fishing without a license? Shooting an airgun?

Your unqualified (i.e., un-bounded) statement is flat-out wrong.

And if you confine it to just firearms, here's an example: In CT, if I own a handgun but don't have a permit, I can't even have the gun in my hand (legally) when I walk onto my front lawn.

Sadly, there are lots more "holdout" eateries in AZ that post the gun-buster sign. Here's a list put together by the good folks at Wilderness Tactical Products (the "Instructor Belt" people) - although I doubnt it is up to date: CCW-Unfriendly Dining Guide: Tactical Gear, Tactical Equipment, Duty Belts, Slings, USA

Property rights coincide with gun rights. If you don't like the rules go somewhere else. As supporters of 2a we should know better than any other group the importance of individual rights like this. When this pops up I just smh and wonder what you guys are thinking.
