It's a private enterprise. They can do what they wish.

Just like private entrprises out in the real world. They can choose to prohibit guns on their premises if they wish.

You can then choose to do business with them or not do business with them. Personally I generally choose not to.

The mere mention of guns is heavily restricted here (on DZ.com). Yet I don't hear any complaints about that.

Ummm... you may want to do a quick search on many of JRs posts... just saying.



Restricted, not prohibited. All of them are here in SC.

For the most part, the word "Gun" in any other forum will get it moved here pretty quickly.

FWIW, I don't have a problem with it. It's made clear in the rules and it's fairly and evenly enforced.
