TAB, I think I better understand the situation after reading a few of the posts today. Concealed carry aside, being a small business owner in America today is getting harder and harder, and from what I understand, CA laws aren't helping a bunch either. It must be hard to lay people off for no other reason than bureaucracy (remember, in a bureaucracy you are promoted to your level of incompetence).
The speeding illustration is a good one in this instance. In FL you cannot carry in a bar. I have worked the door at several drinking establishments here where I live. The bars deal in a lot of cash. I was not going to place my self in a position of no recourse. I did not carry on my person, but there was a weapon available while closing if needed. I technically broke the law (shhhh I have enough problems). I did not advertise the fact (i.e. no one I worked with knew) and it was never an issue. No one was hurt when I broke the law. Same with the speeding: 75 in a 65 is an excuse to generate revenue. Again no one was hurt when I broke the law.
I can definitely see the gray area as a business owner, essentially a catch 22.
There is always the option of moving out of the state. Come on over to FL. We have 2 coasts and we can own .50 cals and mags with more than 10 rounds. Its almost paradise if you can stand the heat, humidity and old New Englander retirees.
Marshal'ette,
You clearly have too much testosterone coursing through your veins. You bitter clinger.
