My point is that Gun free zones do not "Make" it more likely there will be violence, which is the implication you make....intended or not.
It just seems to me that if you want me to agree with this right to carry a firearm, you should allow me to say...."Not in here"....if I do not want one in my House/Buisiness/School/ Whatever. It is when you push to hard, that people begin to push back, even if there is agreement on the issue in the first place.

I agree with you, if a private business or property owner does not want any weapons in his shop or property, that is completely his right just like it would be my right to choose not to enter or do business there because I refuse to go without it. I am simply pointing out that advertising or declaring a no gun zone is essentially telling the criminals that this is a no fear opportunity for them.
