[QUOTE="vvvvvvv, post: 1298909, member: 5151"] It is generally accepted by the public that a gun store is going to have guns. Employees who are carrying openly inside the store could be defended as live models for the wares that the gun store is selling. After all, many of the accessories they are wearing are probably available for sale through the gun store. It could be argued that openly carrying a firearm and accessories that are available for sale in a gun store is a marketing tool for the in-store salesmen. Additionally, you could stretch even further and claim that a gun store could be a potential hot target for robberies due to the substantial amount of cash and high street value items they have on hand, further necessitating the open carrying of a loaded firearm as a deterrent to the threat of robbery. You would have to really stretch to make that application on the property surrounding your home. That application is completely off limits until [I]Pierce[/I] is overturned. But this is where discretionary enforcement comes into play. If you are in town, you could easily be considered in violation of any laws related to keeping the peace. If you are in the country, it would be disrupt the peace that your neighbors are entitled to live in. There must be some sort of complaint first. [/QUOTE]
