I just seen a video of a guy stating that the powerful people directing the worlds countries most powerful people are trying to get the world population down to 10 % of what it is now. They are doing this by infecting people with viruses like covid. And soon to be other viruses that will be started in other countries to kill off a certain amount of people slowly till the population goes down to where they want it. They say all these people now are using up the precious natural resources of the world and that has to stop.

There are protected groups and there are groups that are not protected.

I'm a white straight male gun owner, I'm not in any protected groups. In fact I am told I owe everyone an apology. Despite the fact the people in my groups have saved the world countless times.

Back to the original OP subject: So it does seem to be left to the propetry owner for the decision.

1.) I worked with an avid firearms guy who walked into a popular restaurant in a popular forest destination town here in AZ. He had a small firearm holstered on his side. He and his wife sat down ordered and just as his food arrived at the table a police officer came up and asked him to please step outside. The officer said that he was called because my friend ignored the request of the restaurant not to bring weapons inside. My friend asked the officer how he was supposed to know this as no one mention this nor were there any signs.

So the officer brought the manager out who could not find the sign. After some searching by other employees they found that the tape had come loose and the sign fell down behind one of the booths. The manager apologized and offered a comped meal. My friend asked why he didn't come by the table to ask him to remove his weapon. The manager said it was their policy not to approach gun wearing customers. They were instructed to act like business as usual and call the police. My friend left his meal on the table and left for another eatery.

Next has to do with carrying a weapon in your car while in you work parking lot. I worked at a very large manufacturing firm that had a policy against weapons on the property. The entire facility and parking lot was fenced & gated with signage prohibiting weapons. When I started there the security personnel were armed, until that department was outsourced. There where a few times where ex girl friends would tell HR or some one in the security office that there ex had guns in their car. Security would then call the police and that car would be torn apart looking for said weapon. This happened twice while I worked there.

Employer #2 had the same policy but no fence, gates or signs. Folk who would usually carry did complain that this meant they would have to ravel thru a bad part of town without protection. Management simply said that there would be no car searches but they would nut change the handbooks. So we were to take our chances either way.

My next employer had a no weapons policy when I started but that changed soon after due to the HR manager being an avid shooter. The new rule moved all signage to the building doors. Folks were allowed to have one weapon of their choice in their vehicle. However they were no allowed to enter their vehicle for any reason while on the clock. As for me, I worked nights and had to deliver parts to the paint shop across town in time for the morning shift to paint. This facility happened to be in the absolute worse part of town. I had even had the police show up to tell me that it was not safe for me to be there...on several occasions. After telling my boss this he agreed to allow me to carry as long as I didn't advertise it.

The answer to the original question. These are the protected classes. We can't file a discrimination case because gun ownership is not a protected class


I think our best bet is to become Mandalorians. Or really start any religion that considers carrying a gun to be a sacred activity. Then we could claim we are being discriminated against based on our religious beliefs.

Also if we go through with this plan, I think opening day of deer season should be a high holy day. That way we are guaranteed the day off from work.

"If I have a legal no guns allowed sign and I catc you thre with a gun, I can have you removed on the basis you are carrying a gun. "
Not everywhere. Regulations are different depending on state.
