With more than 175,000 followers on facebook, the non-profit Iowa Gun Owners organization is using their strong social media presence to make an impact on businesses both for and against advancing second amendment rights in the state of Iowa.
"These are places across the state where everyday Iowans have to disarm themselves before they go spend hard earned money in those stores," said Executive Director Aaron Dorr who regularly posts stories detailing the latest laws and events that have an effect on gun owner's rights. The organization even goes as far as listing an "Anti-gun business of the week post", detailing state businesses that are not gun owner friendly. |

IA, TX and every other state that gives criminal color of law to private businesses' prohibitions on carry on/in the premises should revise their laws to reduce that liability to simple trespass law. That way, any licensed carrier could carry in/on the premises without fear of being arrested for a misdemeanor, and if discovered, would simply be asked to leave without any criminal penalty whatsoever. If they refused, then trespass penalties kick in.
Take away the criminal penalties, and remove that power from businesses. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
