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. |
