possession of firearms?
I think it's important to consider the inverse question as well:
What constitutional or general legal principles govern whether, when,
and to what degree a state legislature may intrude on private property
rights, particularly the right to ADMIT others onto one's property, as
it relates to the carrying or possession of firearms?
In Texas, various special interest groups managed to get clauses
inserted into the original CHL law that prohibited carrying firearms on
their premises. Churches were among them, but some of the churches
didn't like the prohibition, and they had no choice. Two years later,
the law was modified so they had to post a sign or provide written
notice for the prohibition to be effective. But, a few private property
owners still have prohibitions in effect, regardless of whether they
post a sign or provide written notice.
