I guess I should clarify that the two paragraphs are two separate lines of thought. The first, pertaining to Taco-Mac, was an attepmt to explain why I think Taco-Mac doesn't allow guns. It is because they are considered a bar (or so I've been told) because their primary revenue is alcohol. As you all know, it is illegal to carry in a bar.
The second line is a totally different thought. I was asking why "other stores" (like Publix) can make their own rules disallowing carrying of firearms. I understand the idea of "it's our property, so we get to make the rules". But it still doesn't make sense to me that they would be able to make rules that are directly contrary to the laws as they pertain to carrying. But I guess I will do as many of you do - if I'm not allowed to carry in your store to protect myself and others in a worst-case scenario, then I will take my business elsewhere. I will also pray that you never find yourself wishing that one of your customers had a gun to help stop a robbery/murder/shooting spree from happening on your property....
