But, I have to also support the rights of property owners who choose to not allow weapons on thier property. Just as I believe it is my right to carry if I choose, it is also thier right to say "not around me". As stupid and circular logic as I may think that is, it is still thier right as a private citizen. I get absolutely livid when people bash the military, burn the flag, and other general verbal attacks against our nation, but as citizens, it is still thier right to voice opposition. That is the core of what I am sworn to defend- the Constitution. My rights don't usurp thiers, and vice versa.

I agree with you on that for the most part.
As for the Plattsmouth issue:
From what I understand right now, the Plattsmouth City Council has asked that the Police Chief speak at the first meeting after the first of the year, with our grouping speaking at the second. I am not very thrilled with the situation, but I guess we should try to cooperate as much as we can. Actually, not really sure what choice we have in the matter. I can tell you that this is going to be a tough nut to crack.

You don'thave to SUPPORT their right to not want any guns around. You just have to RESPECT that right. Don't SUPPORT the opposition. Don't spend money there. SUPPORT retailers that respect your RIGHTS. Tell them why you spend your money elsewhere. Maybe they want your business. Maybe the don't. Let them choose.....

Sounds like a delaying tactic to me..........
1hickey:
Do we know what the chief is speaking on? Is it this topic, or just a general report? It' certainly possible to show up and hear what he has to say, isn't it?
Funny, I could see how they might be more concerned about open carry than CCW people if it is an image or business issue. If permit holders were concealed, 90% of the population wouldn't have the foggiest they were carrying. That is an argument I hear more often than not, it is an image thing. A lot of business owners don't want thier patrons thinking it's the "Wild West". LOL!
