[QUOTE="underpar, post: 2096316, member: 27424"] Actually, 99.9% of businesses in the US are privately owned and "patrons/customers" have access to their services for a monetary price. The only businesses in the US that are truly open to the "public" are the ones owned by the public (stock traded on markets). Example, the corner gas station's bathrooms are posted "No Public Restrooms", whereas Wal-Mart cannot post such sign. That being said, a private business owner can choose when/where/how he wants his business to operate as long as he does so by the law of the land. I personally don't support a business that does not allow me to carry a weapon and the owner obviously doesn't want me as a customer if he won't allow it!. That's one reason why this is the greatest country in the world! We have the Freedom to choose (for the most part), where we commerce! [/QUOTE]
