We spend a lot of time complaining where we cannot carry our weapons. In states with concealed weapons laws you usually cannot carry into publicly owned buildings, school zones (including colleges and universities), state, and federally owned buildings.
In addition, we complain when private establishments post that our concealed weapons are not welcome.
But I have seen no complaints that gun stores, at least here in Atlanta, do not allow you to carry a loaded weapon. Why is that? The same self defense arguements apply. I still need to get to and from my car, and have the same issues with removing/replacing my gun. Are we more likely to get in heated arguements in gun stores? Can this really help store employees to identify potential criminals? What is the purpose to this rule, and why do we not speak out against this?
