In response to my in-line editorial comment on an RRND blurb, DC Collins asks “What is that sound? Could it be? Why yes it is! It is the sound of pogosticks merrily hopping down the street.”

Background: A long time ago, on a list far, far away, a number of us had the “owner banning possession of weapons on his property?” argument. I argued from the position that a property owner’s rights are absolute in that respect — analogizing that if the owner requires anyone entering his property to do so unarmed … or, for that matter, naked and hopping on a pogo stick … then the ethical alternatives are to a) comply with the owner’s requirements, or b) decline to enter the property.

Others advanced various opposing arguments, including but not limited to the notion that if a gun is inside one’s clothes, it’s on the gun carrier’s property and not the external property being entered, etc.

Hey, I have an idea! Let’s have that argument here!
