And open carry does not?
DR4NRA:
So, basically what you are saying is that your rights under the constitution and the law to openly carry an AR on your shoulder is more important than their rights under the same constitution and law to ask nicely that you don't in their place of business? Sounds hypocritical to me.

No sign at the 134th & Maple Panera. Based on what I saw in the press release, there won't be any signs and their employees have been instructed not to confront anyone with a gun.
I think these retail stores and restaurants are trying to placate the Mom's Demand Action crowd while allowing law-abiding gun owners to continue to carry in their stores and restaurants. It's a fence-riding approach. Anyone who grew up on a farm knows that riding a fence can be pretty uncomfortable. Eventually, you're going to land on one side or the other.

They can't have it both ways. Either they allow free American citizens with a Constitutional right to bear arms for their personal defense into their stores, or they assume ALL responsibility and liability for any customers injured during the commission of a crime while on their premises. Put their money where their mouth is.

Many court decisions have upheld that a business has "No Duty to Protect" it's patrons. I also would like to remind you that LE has no duty to protect you from crime either.
