For those that like to wear and expose their personal firearms at JC Penney [View all]

or at political rallies, or even at the local national park or government buildings.

It would be helpful if you could clarify if all public places are expected to be a backdrop for such 2nd Amendment statements. I was wondering if you could privde a clarification by walking into a bank or a day care facility with your exposed firearms.

Why or should those facilities (or any other) be off limits and not all other public gathering places or places of business?

Regards, Sheepshank
