Clemson Pub: Gun Owners = Douchebags

AND LOSERS …

The Second Amendment affords all Americans the right to carry guns in public – whether the government says they can or not. Which is why we urge civil disobedience of any law infringing upon that right.

Similarly, though, government has no right to force private establishments to allow guns if they choose not to …

The free market should (and does) drive that process … just like it gives private citizens the right to unload on individuals who unlawfully trespass on their private property.

Of course we would urge private businesses looking to exercise their right to keep guns out of their premises to avoid the example of “Pete,” the owner of Backstreets Pub and Deli in Clemson, S.C.

Apparently Pete was “frustrated” when he posted a “No Guns Allowed” sign to the window of his tavern … and got a little carried away.

Take a look …

no guns allowed

Hmmmm …

“It just came out wrong because I was frustrated,” Pete told The Washington Times.

(Hmmmm … that’s almost a Michael Scott situation, but not quite).

Again, barring concealed weapons on his property is Pete’s right. And in exercising his right he’s also got a First Amendment right to call carriers of concealed weapons “losers” and “douchebags.”

Or worse, if he chooses …

But at the end of the day Pete is also accountable to the marketplace of ideas – as well as the actual marketplace that determines how long his pub stays open.

And on both of those counts, we find Pete to be a …

So, you agree that it’s a business owner’s right to refuse service to anyone they see fit, for any reason including not serving blacks, homosexuals, Jews, Muslims, Christians, Wiccan’s, Democrats, Republicans, etc. Because you can’t have it both ways, it’s either his business or it belongs to the “collective society”.

What would make you think that everyone who goes into a bar/restaurant to get food only, is a “drunk”, or even has had a drink, or even drinks at all? In fact, replace everyone with anyone – what would make you think that? Remember, the law PROHIBITS people doing what you are accusing them of (assuming), and CCW holders are law-abiding. So we don’t break the law. I don’t drink, but if a bar is known for good food, I’ll go in there and get me some, as long as it’s not smoky.

Actually, Jay, if she cares about her safety, it makes perfect sense that she WOULD go to this place, with improper signage, since law-abiding good guys will be in there, and thus it’s not a true sitting duck killing zone…. It would makes sense to go here, but avoid like the plague the places with the correct signs, since they are the true sitting duck killing zones. However, SCBlueWoman doesn’t use her noggin, so she thinks (correctly) that this place with bad signage will be safe, but thinks (incorrectly) that the other places with good signage are also safe. They may or may not be “safe” generally / big picture, from an “acceptable risk” perspective, but there’s no question that no matter how safe the area, the places with the correctly-made “rob-me please” signs are at least slightly-less safe that those withOUT the correctly-made “rob-me” signs, since mass public shooters ALWAYS intentionally pick sitting duck killing zones to do their murderous business (aka leftist “gun free” zoens).

Science PROVED that your “feelings” are incorrect. Get it? Science. Heard of it? MPSs (mass public shootings) ALWAYS occur in places with rob-me signs or in states like IL or NY without shall-issue carry. Always. 100% of the time. Because these gun-free sitting duck killing zones draw these crazies like a moth to a flame (when they do happen, which is rarely, admittedly). But if you have a 0.00005% chance of being a victim of a gunshot wound or other violent crime in a joint WITH a compliant sign, the fact is that ceteris paribus, you’d have a 0.000001% chance of being a crime victim in a place withOUT a rob-me sign.

“Similarly, though, government has no right to force private establishments to allow guns if they choose not to …”

I can agree with that, … up to a point. As with most things, a business owner has the right to ask, eject, or otherwise effect your departure from their establishment for just about any reason or no reason. What the government has wrongly done is to create “force of law” for the idiotic and purposeless “Rob Me” signs. If you are truly carrying concealed and happen to be in an establishment where they prefer unarmed potential victims only, it should be an issue. If they discover you are indeed armed, they can tell you to leave their establishment. Failure to comply at that point is trespassing and applicable laws regarding trespass come into play, as it should be.

The government has no business creating a force of law around Rob Me signs which subjects you to arrest, loss of permit, or worse for refusing to obey the sign. This was totally and completely unneeded. Prior to 1996, before politicians in the SC Legislature created this “issue” out of thin air, the politically connected, rich, and those with a “need” (which did not include self-defense according to Stop Let’s Eat Donuts) for a CWP could carry pretty much anywhere a cop could in SC, as it should have been and as it should be now.

A significant number of people in the world have severe reactions to perfumes and colognes which can be life-threatening. Why is no similar law in place giving signs asking you to refrain from wearing perfume or cologne in certain workplaces, the force of law? Someone walking into such an establishment with a container of perfume or cologne could potentially do far more harm to persons in that establishment than my safely carried gun. If that glass perfume or cologne bottle in your pocket or purse breaks, you could asphyxiate a person or persons in a place. Ditto if it leaks or accidentally sprays.

The whole concept of the “Rob Me” sign is a false issue that has been created and had life breathed into it by anti-gun politicians, pandering to the anti-gun agenda. It needs to go away or at least be reduced to what I read in one state’s law (possibly WV?) which says that before an arrest can be made, you have to have been warned by the proprietor to leave first (possibly in the presence of police?). That would be the same as what is should be, which is using existing trespass laws.

First off, the sign is not compliant with federal code for posting, so it wouldn’t stand up in court if someone decided to “violate” his no guns policy. Secondly, what kind of jackass sits down in front of his Windoz machine and crafts such a half witted message without thinking about the ramifications? This is marketing suicide.

The applicable statute (Section 23-31-235) states:

“(B) All signs must be posted at each entrance into a building where a concealable weapon permit holder is prohibited from carrying a concealable weapon and must be:

(1) clearly visible from outside the building;

(2) eight inches wide by twelve inches tall in size;

(3) contain the words “NO CONCEALABLE WEAPONS ALLOWED” in black one inch tall uppercase type at the bottom of the sign and centered between the lateral edges of the sign;

(4) contain a black silhouette of a handgun inside a circle seven inches in diameter with a diagonal line that runs from the lower left to the upper right at a forty five degree angle from the horizontal;

(5) a diameter of a circle; and

(6) placed not less than forty inches and not more than sixty inches from the bottom of the building’s entrance door.”

Yep, non compliant liberal drivel. Pretty sure the feds frown upon these moronic personal remarks like the one this idiot dolt and other liberal business owners impart on their customers.

Of course you can have either one – what make you think that you can’t?

Of course. The way the trespass laws work is, if the owner discovers that I’m carrying, contrary to his/her wishes, then he/she can ask me to leave – then it’s only trespassing violation if I then refuse to leave. But I gladly will leave if asked, so I’d never get a trespassing charge. And that’s true whether the “stupid sign”** complies or not. Good luck figuring out that I’m carrying so that you can tell me to cease and desist trespassing. ** The no-guns signs are dubbed “stupid signs” because they serve only to increase crime and make a place more dangerous, and thus, you’d have to be really stupid to put one up.

I remember some years back, a local district manager with Taco Bell never missed an opportunity to tell the press how even though he was a CWP holder, he didn’t agree with letting good citizens have CWP’s on demand. He apparently got his CWP when you had to be rich, politically connected, or have a “reason” (other than self-defense according to SLED) to get one of those. Because he was a business man, his hide apparently was worth more to him than Joe or Jane average’s hide was to them. It’s good to be the elite, I guess, kind of like Dianne Frankenstiein, who believes she, as a member of the ruling class, should have a gun, but that Joe or Jane average should not.

Funny you should mention that. Recently, there was a “Constitutional Carry” bill on the docket at the State House which would have made SC more like Vermont in that any citizen who could LEGALLY possess a firearm would be able to carry openly or concealed, even without a permit. The premise of its originators and backers was that Constitutionally, you should not have to beg your government’s permission for a right guaranteed in the Bill of Rights. The usual suspects and naysayers were bleating the “blood will flow in the streets” and “it will be the wild West”, horse puckey they always do, but which somehow just doesn’t come to pass, when attempts are made to expand gun rights.

Where were your comments in support of that bill?

Most bikers are social people who enjoy the company of their friends and extended family. They do tend to hang with their own clubs or affiliated organizations at selected bars and other venues. There is a biker bar about a mile or two from my house. I am not aware of any problems these guys cause and they may actually contribute to the area being a little quieter in some ways.

Though not a biker myself, and not someone who ordinarily hits the bars, I would feel no fear in entering the establishment if I had some compelling reason to be there.

Actually, the bar I refer to appears to be a 1%’er oriented establishment. The few 1%’ers I have been around or talked to, contrary to media and movie hype, were cordial, respectful people, to me at least.

As I have noted quite a few times before, if I lost my wallet full of cash, I would much rather one of those guys found it than a member of Columbia, Richland, or Lexington city or county councils. My chances of getting it back with everything in it that was there when I lost it would be exponentially better.

euwe max March 20, 2014 at 5:03 pm

I spent time with some outlaw bikers in the early 70’s – Nice enough fellows, but they live on the fucking edge! One guy stayed at the house I was at overnight, and before he got comfortable on the floor with a sleeping bag, he wanted to hit some speed. He didn’t have anything to tie off with so he asked me to hold him off. My hands barely fit around his arm… and then he laid down for the night. He was a felon and liked to fight – really liked to fight. I don’t know if he had a gun or not, but he didn’t look like he needed one!

I was vising a friend around that time. He was a clerk for a motel that hosted poker games and prostitutes… always good for an adventure or two… when the prostitutes were idle one night, he, I and a mutual friend ours went to their room and got into a conversation about what it’s like to be one – I felt sorry for them having to wash off some guys filthy dick… anyway, as I was leaving one night after shooting the shit with the clerk at his desk, I walked by a bar that was beside the motel, and there was a one percenter sitting on the curb. Being basically a dumbass, I asked “you ok?” he looked up kinda sleepy and drunk looking and said “sumbich shot me!” and though it was dark, I could see blood in the gutter… I asked if he wanted me to call an ambulance, and he said the bartender had already called. Talk about a strange night – he was alone on the curb waiting for an ambulance, and no one was out there with him…. I didn’t ask what happened to the guy that shot him.. .maybe he was inside, dead or dying or something…

I didn’t say anything else, but quietly walked away.

I thought *my* life was dangerous.

The younger guys may and probably do get crazy with the drugs and stuff. Most of the guys I have met were older and more grounded in the world.

We avoid fist fights like the plague – hell, us law-abiding folks avoid fist fights like the plague anyway, but especially when carrying. YOU think that people go around engaging in fist fights because you’re a criminal. Of course you criminals don’t like good armed citizens carrying. No one in their right mind would get in a fist fight out in public with a stranger…. What you do is avoid, evade, avoid, run, evade, avoid, etc. unless attacked – then if our life is threatened, you bet your ass we can and should and will use deadly force.

Do you likewise feel that a few murders here and there by police and military personnel are acceptable levels of collateral damage for the protection they offer us?

No realm of human endeavor is immune to human error and misuse, NONE.

What about the untold numbers of dead on our highways each year? Is that an acceptable level of collateral damage for the convenience of being able to hop in your car and drive across town to visit a friend, do grocery shopping, or go to work the way you like. While most might not like the way I worded it, I would be when it came down to brass tacks, most would agree that it is.

No, but the military and police are given specific powers and have hours and hours and hours of more training and experience than Jim Bob the CWP holder (aka modern day vigilante looking for young black kids to shoot).
I agree with you about the highway deaths. It’s shocking. Imagine the temerity of SC to go nanny style and adopt and enforce seatbelt laws…which…OMG…are actually saving lives now. There’s more we could do in that space but we wouldn’t want ‘Murican freedom to be impeded by such would we?

CorruptionInColumbia March 20, 2014 at 7:14 pm

So, you have a groups of people (police and military) who have all of the hours of training, so that the very small percentage who go rogue, can kill us all the better?

FWIW, depending on state and individual agency, the police firearms training is not all that its cracked up to be. I know a lot of cops who struggle to meet qualification each year. I know a lot of these “untrained” (and “untrustworthy) citizens who can shoot rings around a lot of those cops.

To be a decent shot, you need a certain level of personal discipline and awareness. A lot of people who (thankfully) don’t like guns, lack that discipline and therefore the ability to learn to shoot a gun well. From observation over many decades, I would make an educated guess that in many cases, that ability to maintain the personal discipline needed to be a good shot somehow transfers over into other areas of a person’s life, and other aspects of their behavior. Am I saying that all good shots will be good people? No, because as I also noted earlier, NO realm of human endeavor will be immune from those who make serious mistakes and/or misuses of privileges and powers. Interestingly enough, I have known very few bad guys or problem people who were excellent shots and quite a few good guys who were.

Limbaughsaphatkhunt March 20, 2014 at 7:23 pm

Now you’re in the realm of the tin foil hat crowd who believe ninja police are waiting to just go out murder fellow Americans b/c they are the police.
What I’m saying is that there is a lot of mythologizing going on out there about these supposed new age white knights of the templar (rednecks with CWP) who are infalliable, neigh, better than the police themselves. Somehow imbued with divine skill and wisdom to know what to do at all times, every time. Except who we’re really talking about is mostly white folks who vote GOP, watch Fox News, pay their NRA dues and listen to Limbaugh and walk every minute of every day scared to death of everything to the point they feel they need to carry a weapon at all times and just waiting…just itching…to take out a bad guy.

CorruptionInColumbia March 20, 2014 at 8:03 pm

First of all, I don’t generally dislike the police. Many of my closest friends are LE and retired LE. I also know that just because you have a badge, you are not necessarily 100% trustworthy anymore than the armed citizen who does not have a badge is not trustworthy. I abhor this myth that only police and military can handle the responsibility of being armed. Make whatever snide comparisons you like, a lot of folks in this world are current or retired professional sheepdogs and some never were but are smart enough to have an awareness of the evil that is out there. They are protective of their families, their communities, and themselves.

They have known, and in many cases seen firsthand, the things that evil people can and will do to good people and do not relish thought of standing around and watching such things go down in their presence and not doing anything about it. They do not live in fear because they know they have the means to deal with bad things if such finds them.

I don’t know what difference it makes what race or political leaning a good guy is, as long as he (or she) is there when the SHTF and has the means to bring hostilities to a halt before too much harm is done to innocents. A fair number of liberal leaning folk also recognize the importance of being prepared for bad things. Several Black friends are quite knowledgeable gun people and carry always. They are no less a positive influence in the world than anyone else. Google the “Pink Pistols”, a mostly gay-oriented group of shooting and self-defense enthusiasts.

The stereotype of the knuckle-dragging redneck by those of you who bask in your own ignorance does groweth old.

Because it’s pertinent to my argument that some sectors of white America (mainly in the South and mid-west) are hopped up to warp factor 11 on the fear scale b/c of talk radio and Fox News telling them they are losing ‘Murica to minority groups and that ninja police will be busting down their doors at any second to take away gran’ pappy’s old hunting rifle. They walk around with this fear so much, that they’ve got a finger on the trigger at all times just waiting for a kid to walk home, unarmed, minding his own business with skittles and iced tea.

CorruptionInColumbia March 20, 2014 at 8:25 pm

Whatever. I made a reply to your first post yesterday which went through and immediately disappeared. I’ll try to recap parts of it.

Your “example” of the Martin/Zimmerman encounter is kind of a strikeout. Z was acquitted by a jury of any wrongdoing in that case. Little Trayvon was found to be in possession of stolen goods at school, which were later determined to be from a home burglary, days before the shooting. He was not the angel many wanted to paint him as. With the wonderful advantage of 20-20 hindsight, things could have been done differently by both parties which might have yielded a happier result for all concerned. His criminal career was cut short. End of story.

Limbaughsaphatkhunt March 20, 2014 at 8:37 pm

Fact 1: Zimmerman was armed and Martin wasn’t.

Fact 2: Martin was not trespassing and otherwise not committing any criminal activity on the night in question. If you want to bring up prior criminality then you’ll need to ask questions about Zimmerman punching up his lady or run ins with the cops.

Fact 3: Zimmerman accosted Martin by demanding to know what he was doing there (profiling) and against the advice of the 911 operator he followed Martin. Martin had a right to stand his ground but unfortunately did not have a gun.

The jury erred in their decision.

So gov’t can’t place restrictions on the right to bear arms? So can private citizens own RPGs? Can we own fully automatic mini-guns?

_______

ARTICLE I, SECTION 8, CLAUSE 11 Constitution of the United States America.

Article 1, Section 8 authorizes Congress to “…grant letters of marque and reprisal.” This statement, which was part of the Constitution even before the Bill of Rights was adopted, provides penetrating insight into the original intent of the Founding Fathers with regard to the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

A”letter of marque and reprisal” (usually called simply a “letter of marque”) is “a license granted by a state to a private citizen to capture the merchant ships of another nation”. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that private citizens don’t venture forth to capture other nations’ ships armed with only a flintlock musket. To capture other ships on the high seas, you must own and operate an armed ocean-going vessel. Indeed, many private citizens have operated their own warships, and made good livings raiding and plundering enemy merchant ships with the full blessing of Uncle Sam. Such ships were called “privateers”, which my dictionary defines as “a privately owned warship commissioned by a government to fight or harass enemy shipping”. According to the Funk & Wagnall’s Encyclopedia, the U.S. Government employed privateers during both the American Revolution and the War of 1812. During the Civil War, Congress authorized the President to commission privateers, but this power was not exercised. The Confederacy, however, being critically short of warships, did make use of privateers.

It is therefore evident that the Founders of this nation intended for private citizens, operating their own warships, to augment our Navy in time of war. At the time the Constitution was written, the warship was the most elaborate, sophisticated, and formidable weapon system on earth. Even today, warships remain among the most potent packages of mobile military capability and firepower.

The American Founders trusted individual citizens to own and operate any and all military weapons, up to and including warships.

If you think the Founding Fathers never envisioned “military assault weapons” in the hands of private citizens, you are sadly mistaken, at least up to andincluding including privately owned warships operating on the high seas.

Right, the constitution also classifed black people as 3/5ths of a person.

easterndumbfuckastan March 20, 2014 at 8:45 pm

Incorrect and you know it. It classified other persons as 3/5ths which was understood to not be free men. That however was revoked by the 13th Amendment anyway, so again your point is. ARTICLE I, SECTION 8 has not been repealed by any amendment.

What is your problem with The Constitution? It’s the supreme law of the land and the document by which power is given to the government by the people. It’s worked well for 227 years.

Limbaughsaphatkhunt March 20, 2014 at 8:48 pm

In many ways it’s a magnificent document, but in many ways it’s outdated and static. The amendment process and intervention of the courts mitigates that to some extent but obviously not enough if half of America thinks it says “X” and the other half think it says “Y”.

easterndumbfuckastan March 20, 2014 at 8:30 pm

Rosa Parks was riding public transportation which is completely different from a private business, and not germane to this conversation.

Maurice’s BBQ is a private business he should have the right to serve not serve anyone he wants for whatever reason he chooses. I might not agree with his decisions but that’s his decision. I made a point about that in a comment below somewhere in this thread.

Limbaughsaphatkhunt March 20, 2014 at 8:44 pm

Well that solves everything. So a bunch of Maurice’s working together to deny black folks BBQ in the private sector is ok. Assuming of course the institutionalized and ever pervasive racism in the South which would have seen white hooded folks visiting your house at night should you decide to serve black people…and teach you a lesson…renders that mute. The Feds, bolstered by the constitution, saw differently and (for lack of a better phrase) called a spade a spade and saw discrimination and denial of rights for what it was.

If the self righteous prick wants to say that gun owners are losers and douchebags, that’s okay. Of course, he shouldn’t complain if his profits decline when pro-gun people find his sign offensive. It’s a shame that he has to resort to insults and “muh feelings” to get his point across. He seems to be the ideological equivalent of that kid who always cried to the teachers about the other kids not being ‘fair’.

I kinda wish that every small business owner would post their feelings on their door like this so I could make a more educated decision about who deserves my business. On a side note, it sure seems like a good place to rob. It kinda makes you wonder why Liberals don’t have gun-free zone signs outside of their houses.

If you’re going to call a certain (probably sizable) percentage of your patrons “douchebags,” you should probably at least be smart enough to read the law and put up a sign that meets the requirements of said statute. This Clemson dude’s sign does not…

SECTION 23-31-235. Sign requirements.

(A) Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, any requirement of or allowance for the posting of signs prohibiting the carrying of a concealable weapon upon any premises shall only be satisfied by a sign expressing the prohibition in both written language interdict and universal sign language.

(B) All signs must be posted at each entrance into a building where a concealable weapon permit holder is prohibited from carrying a concealable weapon and must be:

(1) clearly visible from outside the building;

(2) eight inches wide by twelve inches tall in size;

(3) contain the words “NO CONCEALABLE WEAPONS ALLOWED” in black one-inch tall uppercase type at the bottom of the sign and centered between the lateral edges of the sign;

(4) contain a black silhouette of a handgun inside a circle seven inches in diameter with a diagonal line that runs from the lower left to the upper right at a forty-five degree angle from the horizontal;

(5) a diameter of a circle; and

(6) placed not less than forty inches and not more than sixty inches from the bottom of the building’s entrance door.

(C) If the premises where concealable weapons are prohibited does not have doors, then the signs contained in subsection (A) must be:

(1) thirty-six inches wide by forty-eight inches tall in size;

(2) contain the words “NO CONCEALABLE WEAPONS ALLOWED” in black three- inch tall uppercase type at the bottom of the sign and centered between the lateral edges of the sign;

(3) contain a black silhouette of a handgun inside a circle thirty-four inches in diameter with a diagonal line that is two inches wide and runs from the lower left to the upper right at a forty-five degree angle from the horizontal and must be a diameter of a circle whose circumference is two inches wide;

(4) placed not less than forty inches and not more than ninety-six inches above the ground;

(5) posted in sufficient quantities to be clearly visible from any point of entry onto the premises.
