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 |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
