A Modest Proposal.

With the Session upon us, here is something for an enterprising Louisiana Leggie looking to get their name out there.

As we all know, this week our lords neighbors over on The Left / Mainstream Media have taken to their fainting couches because... religious freedom is "UN-AMERICAN!!!!", or something. Their logic goes something like this: A business is "public"; therefore, it has no rights and must do and act as the state says. Since individuals are not forced into opening businesses, they choose to give up any assertion of personal rights they may have when doing business because, businesses are not people - they do not have rights.

Allrighty, then.

Here is the first sentence in Louisiana Revised Statute RS 40:1379.3(O):

"The provisions of Subsection N of this Section shall not limit the right of a property owner, lessee, or other lawful custodian to prohibit or restrict access of those persons possessing a concealed handgun pursuant to a permit issued under this Section."

This allows a business owner, like Starbucks, Target, or your local vegan health food market, to refuse you entry if you happen to be legally carrying a sidearm, based only on their belief that you shouldn't be allowed to exercise a legal right. Which would be, in the words of The Left / Mainstream Media...

. . . D E S C R I M I N A T I O N ! ! !

And we can't have that, now can we? So if some Leggie out there is looking to attract TV cameras and reporters faster than the revision of an Obama economic forecast gets revised, suggest a revision to that sentence. Something like:

"Except for places of public accommodation as defined by Section 201 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and not otherwise restricted under the provisions of Subsection N of this Section, the provisions of Subsection N of this Section shall not limit the right of a property owner, lessee, or other lawful custodian to prohibit or restrict access of those persons possessing a concealed handgun pursuant to a permit issued under this Section."
