thats fine as long as you follow the laws in your state. and most states require that police officers be armed at all times, on duty or off, and that means that those states have an exemption for LEOs and gun free zones.

no, but they were FOLLOWING the laws in their state. LEOs ARE allowed to carry weapons, BY LAW where ordinary citizens are not.

So, an armed maniac will NOT murder you and your patrons because of your policy?

You're not thinking this through clearly.....typical reactionary leftie.

I'm surprised that more property right supporters don't agree with you

I don't agree with the manager, but I don't have a problem with what he did. It's a private business and he is responsible for it.

Private businesses should be allowed to discriminate against anyone for any reason any time they please.

Anyone can sport a badge on a chain around their neck. The weapon should have been concealed.

Where I live you would be out of business over night if you posted a gun free zone sign on your front door, and if you had a burglary the response time would be very slow. The town I live in doesn't cater to fools...
