Or is the 14th Amendment somehow more valuable than the Second Amendment?
If you open your property to the public, you have to accept that the public will come....including parts of the public that you may not want. And that's simply too bad for the property owner.

So you are comparing a person's being, their ethnicity, to a thing they have an option to carry?????
That's like my saying I have the "constitutional right to free speech therefore I will go into Pat Robertson's church dressed in my Satanic wardrobe and preach from my Satanic Bible."
So if I am in a movie theatre and screaming at the top of my lungs the theatre cannot do anything, because I am exercising my Constitutional right to free speech????
That's not menacing, or public disturbance? That won't get me thrown in jail?
Is that the mentality, your way of thinking in above quoted post?
It's this mentality in your post that truly makes me anti-gun and pro-gun law.
Second amendment be damned..... I have the right to refuse service to anyone, and I have the right to have my employees work by rules I apply so long as I break no labor laws...... last time I checked having a gun at work was not a labor law or protected under such.
I have many rights guaranteed me by the Constitution.... but they stop whereupon they may infringe upon another's right. My right to not allow guns in my business supercedes any right to ignore it and carry a gun on my property.
Come to my business carrying a gun.... I ask you to leave.... you choose to stay, I call the cops, whose side do you think they will take?
Are you an idiot???? I'm sorry but comparing not wanting someone carrying a gun on my property to racism and prejudiced.... is the stupidest thing I have read on here.
