Haha what ever floats your boat I guess. Sorry if I came off as curt, had a rough night.

I suppose you are right but some people consider their guns as their partner. Romantic partner, maybe! Kinda a reach on my part.

There's a Chipotle restaurant near where I live. I can only guess what the reaction would be if I slung on my hunting rifle and walked through the door, especially since I live in The Peoples Republik of New York where the abridgment of 2nd amendment rights is an official State sport. I trust it will not go well for me. :-)

Did you just compare a gun to a romantic partner?

You realize they aren't depriving you of your second amendment, they're depriving you of delicious burritos right?

Obviously there is a double standard here, basically the government is the judge on who is allowed to discriminate and who isn't, but what you just said is a very poor argument.

Interesting dilemma here. I agree with the notion that a restaurant is a private business who's owners can choose what happens within it's walls as you say. However, hasn't the civil rights movement and gay lobby, et al, already shown through the courts that restaurants and other businesses open to the public really are not private and cannot interfere with civil rights? Given that, doesn't the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution clearly state one of our civil rights that can not be denied by any business? So, are Chipotle's restaurants, or any restaurant, public or private? Let me venture a guess at a PC answer: They are public when it comes to race, gender, sexual orientation, but are private when it come to the right to keep and bear arms.

You are missing the most important ingredient to understanding here. The second amendment is about private citizens, it is not a prohibition or restriction on them.

The constitution, and by incorporation the amendments, are restrictions on the authority and scope of government, not you and I. Just as I am free to not publish your writings, and you likewise, we are free to decide the conditions upon which predicate access to, or use of, our respective properties.

You're not quite correct here. People have a right to property and a right to refuse you entrance to that property for no reason at all. They are not infringing on your right to bear arms they are exercising their right to keep you off their property. If your statement was true we would have to allow prisoners to have weapons while in prison.

I've no idea of the story behind the story. That said, Chipotle's restaurants are private property. If the owner(s) do not want guns on their property, they have that right. Those of us who are troubled by this have the right to take our business elsewhere.

Some years ago, in Luby's Cafeteria in Killeen, Texas, over twenty people were murdered inside the restaurant by a madman who drove his pickup into the restaurant and opened fire. Since at the time in Texas it was a felony to carry a gun into a restaurant, a young woman watched as both her parents were killed while her gun remained idle in her car outside the restaurant.

in Grand Junction Colorado the local Home Depot said people with carry permits could not bring guns into their store, I do not know if it lasted 1 or 2 days but then they shut up.

MADD called awhile ago looking for my monetary support. I not only turned them down but also "dressed them down" telling the caller that their philosophical bent was contributing to the downfall of this country.
I went on to explain:
"Innocent until proven guilty is how justice is universally upheld. Whenever non-objective law becomes commonplace, we have lost all perspective of justice."
They removed my name from their call list.
