25. So, you've been arrested many, many times?

Everything is so much clearer now...

In any event, you have no obligation to patronize any private establishment, regardless of whether your complaint is lawful open carry of firearms or anything else. However, you most certainly do not have the legal right to partake of food in a restaurant and leave without paying except in VERY, VERY unusual and exigent circumstances. An objection to other patrons engaging in lawful activities with the consent of the property owner would definitely not be such a circumstance. Leaving a restaurant without paying is called theft, and would expose you to both criminal and civil penalties.

Moreover, informing you of the fairly obvious legal consequences of your potential actions is not a "threat" under any definition of the term. Your dislike of laws does not grant you immunity to them, as your apparent lengthy arrest record should readily attest.

Why? What are they doing that would cause you to run? GGJohn Feb 2016 #42

Dunnachie represents us in the same way that Barbara Graham/Lipscomb represents you friendly_iconoclast Feb 2016 #43

I don't think you read what I said. stone space Feb 2016 #44

Running for your life from what threat? GGJohn Feb 2016 #45
