Any chance on this one?

With all the goings on about the "Safe Commute" bill and the problems we are having getting it passed, I can only assume the chance or even the interest in ever getting the laws concerning posted property changed.

Yeah, I know about the private property arguments but there are a number of states out there that don't make carry in a posted business a misdemeanor like here in Tennessee but a trespassing violation if one refuses to leave. Theses states must have seen something that we didn't when they wrote their carry laws.

Trespassing seems to me to be a good compromise between private property considerations and the individual right to self protection.

I also understand the arguments about not giving a posted business your business but all to often, situations develop that make this very difficult if not impossible.

So am I alone or are there others that would really like to see this law addressed once some of the other pressing issues are covered?

Trespass does not solve the problem with employees and it only marginally is of benefit for patrons.

What other rights enumerated in the Tennessee Declaration of Rights may businesses prohibit and have the State back it up with law enforcement?
