Real "Sensitive" Places

When talking about sensitive places, the state takes the position that who or what might be in that location is what makes that place "sensitive".

This is just a dumb way of infringing on The People's right to keep and bear arms.

We will ignore property rights at this junction, just to simplify the discussion.

My yard is not a "sensitive" place. No matter who might enter my yard, there is nothing that would make it a place where I should be kept from bearing an arm.

The same goes for the street in front of my house. Nor anyplace along that street.

But what about a school? A school is full of "vulnerable" people, children. Having vulnerable people doesn't make the place sensitive. For example, what if the school was empty of students, and you were attending a meeting with a bunch of crazy liberal/leftists? Like school administrators and teachers?

The park is not a sensitive place, nor is the town hall nor the public parts of the police fortress.

What makes a place "sensitive", is whether the government has taken responsibility for providing security and that security is comprehensive.

For example, a courtroom. The state has the responsibility for providing the security, in the form of armed security. They people are disarmed before entering the courtroom. The courtroom is secured at all entry points to prevent people from bypassing the security screening.

In addition, that place should only be made a sensitive place if it provides a safe location outside the security parameter for you to secure your arms.

This means that my pooling place is not a sensitive location. The state does not provide any real security.

This means that airports, outside security checkpoint are not sensitive places.

In addition, the areas beyond the security checkpoint are also not sensitive places. This is because the TSA does a shit job of screening. TSA's security record is so poor that El Al still performs their security screenings of all passengers.

An El Al aircraft is a sensitive place.

Mark Smith has spoken many times about the relationship between sensitive places and Supreme Court cases. The commonality in the locations singled out by the Supreme Court as sensitive is that they provide comprehensive security.
