SEC. 201. (a) All persons shall be entitled to the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, and privileges, advantages, and accommodations of any place of public accommodation, as defined in this section, without discrimination or segregation on the ground of race, color, religion, or national origin.


race, color, religion, or national origin are the protected status'.

where does the carry of firearms fall into?

as much as we have the right to keep and bear arms, private property owners have the right to exclude us if they wish. are our 2A rights greater than theirs?

Cra 1964

So, after reading about Costco's gun ban not violating the Civil Right Act of 1964 Title II: Public Accomodation, I do belive that the Rogue Valley Mall in Medford is violating the Civil Rights Act. According to (http://www.citizensource.com/History/20thCen/CRA1964/CRA2.htm) A place of public accomdation from my reading they are in violation. What are your views/ thoughts/ or ideas?

The CRA ensures that you cannot be discriminated against on the grounds of race, color, religion or national origin. It has nothing to do with bearing arms.

OOOSEC. 201.

That is why I asked, I am not very educated on understanding the legal language yet but I guess I'll have to self educate. Thanks for clearing it up guys.

Why does this argument always reek of contradiction?

Private property rights blah blah blah... The government can ban cigarettes in businesses, and force businesses to serve certain people, which BTW are not mentioned in the Constitution explicitly, but they remain silent on enforcing the 2A.

SO either the government removes the protected people or add firearm rights. Can't have it both ways.

contradiction or not, my answer was in reference to the civil rights act ONLY and only as questioned by the OP. my response was directed at the question posed ONLY. i am not a government apologist, your debate is not with me.

Oh I know, I was just bouncing off of your post to make a point. Sorry if you felt engaged.

i dont mind feeling engaged, i just didnt think the post was the correct venue to address the federal governments intrusion into business practices. yes its ridiculous that one cant smoke in a cigar store or a private club but neither are 2A issues.
