I've been thinking about stores/malls etc. that post signs forbidding guns on their property.
They also, apparently, have the right to ask you to leave if you're carrying a gun and the police will enforce their wishes if called.
Contrast that with civil rights. A store can't put up a sign saying "no blacks allowed", and they can't ask someone to leave because of their race.
Private property owners are bound to respect civil rights, but apparently not 2A rights.
What I'm wondering is, why do you think this is an accepted legal reality?
Should private property rights be paramount? If not, then what's an acceptable reason to force accommodation?
I have my opinions of course, but I'd like to see what others think.
