A lot of the other items we'd like step on property owners' rights, we're doing a nice balance there right now.

One of my favorites last session that we couldn't get life to in the Senate was HB 233, Representatives Becker's DEFEND bill, which decriminalized carrying past most no gun signs unless the actor refused to leave when asked. In other words, one couldn't get the trespassing charge as long as one complied when asked to leave.

Does anyone think that bill would step on property owner's rights?

I have friends & family in SC that say that the standards have caused some businesses (especially in tourist areas) to think twice about posting, because they felt that some members of the general public would be scared away by the signage. It would also reduce accidental intrusions..

This could probably fly through the GA quickly because some of the Anti-Gunners would think that it would further restrict gun owners rights, while actually it would just clarify things..
