They're not dictating the exercising of your rights overall, just in their own place that is privately owned. When you enter that privately owned business, you accept the terms of the business owner. Or you leave. Business owners should have that right.

Key Difference Between Civil Liberties and Civil Rights
There are key differences between civil liberties & civil rights. These definitions & examples will help you compare & learn the differences between them.examples.yourdictionary.com
Difference Between Civil Rights and Civil Liberties
Civil liberties and civil rights sound similar. It’s quite easy to see why they get confused. However, while both terms ensure an individual's rights, they do so in different ways. Probably the greatest difference between the two is government action.
How the government acts is the key difference between civil rights and civil liberties, but there are other subtle differences as well. Get a comprehensive overview of what civil liberties and rights are by looking at each one.
- Civil liberties are designed to limit government action in specific areas. For example, you have the freedom of speech. This is a civil liberty.
- Civil rights, on the other hand, require a government to act to ensure equal treatment for all. If you are denied a job because you are a woman, this is against your civil rights and the government needs to act to ensure this doesn’t happen.
What Are Civil Rights?
As a U.S. citizen, you have certain rights. Not only do you have the right to fair and equal treatment, but you also have the right to government services. These are your civil rights. Civil rights are granted to us via the U.S. Constitution through the 14th amendment, which states all citizens have the right to life, liberty, or property along with equal protection under the laws. These rights were then further expanded on through the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which requires equal application of laws for everyone.
Examples of Civil Rights
The application of full and equal rights for all seems simple. However, it’s actually anything but. Not only do race and gender come into play, but sexual orientation as well. However, to try to keep it clear, examples of civil rights include the equal treatment of individuals in:
For example, if a public school discriminated against you because of your religion, this would be a civil rights issue. Based on your constitutional rights guaranteed to every U.S. citizen, you should get equal access and treatment to any public or government services. A well-known civil rights case is the United States vs. City of Ferguson following the police shooting of Michael Brown.
- Employment
- Housing
- Public facilities
- Government services
- Public education
What Are Civil Liberties?
As a citizen, you also have certain rights that a government shouldn’t interfere with called your civil liberties. Civil liberties are granted by the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. For example, freedom of speech is a civil liberty. So, if you want to create a poster about problems with your school district and post it in your yard, you can. However, it must meet a few guidelines like not defaming someone.
Examples of Civil Liberties
Just like civil rights, there are a few different examples of civil liberties. Unlike civil rights, civil liberties are a bit more cut and dried. However, there are still gray areas. Examples of civil liberties include the freedom of:
A famous civil liberties case is the New York Times Co vs. United States in 1971. In this case, Nixon stopped The New York Times from publishing secret documents. The supreme court ruled this was against the First Amendment’s freedom of the press.

I’m not going to sit through 40 minutes from a youtuber that may or may not know what the hell he’s talking about it.
But can a business tell you to leave if they don't want you there ?
You guys are a little extreme. If you need a public license such as a food vendor license to operate , then you have to give that public accommodation. Does that mean you can’t refuse certain services, no. You don’t have to bake a gay wedding themed cake but you do have to sell them a cake.
Tell that to the Jim Crow south . They stayed in business until the civil rights act and for more than decade after.
Go re-read the 14th admendment. It gave Congress power to enforce equality
but those rules must be applied equally. Or at least not based on something that is not controllable by the customer in question. ( behavior rather than non behavior).
Yes. Correct. Then the 14th imposed a lot of those rights/onto the states.
Which is exactly why all gun laws are unconstitutional. But we don’t have a Supreme Court willing to go that far, yet. The Bruen decision open up a lot of things, but it is yet to be seen.
As much as it is morally wrong that a doctor can refuse to treat a certain type of person, as per the constitution which only limits what government can and cannot do, that doctor should be able to deny service to whomever he wants to if it is his own private practice on private property. Obviously not if he works for a government facility or someone else’s private practice. He then should reap the consequences of his actions via people that have issue with him by not going to him.
The doctor in exchange for that license has certain obligations. Some they have to do like life saving measures. Do they have to do an abortion, no. That’s why MD license plates aren’t always a good idea. They can get a complaint if they don’t stop for a car accident.
Not all gun laws are unconstitutional, just a whole lot of them. Felons lose rights. Gun makers have to make a good product. Your freedom of speech stops in a courtroom, for example. There are laws the founders would be good with.
And just because the license requires the doctor to treat him or her doesn’t make it right. That’s an issue you seem to be having in this thread and others. Just because laws are passed and that’s the way it is, it doesn’t make it right. It wasn’t right to require proper cause yet here we are.
Show me in the constitution where felons lose their rights forever. Highly doubt there is historical precedents for someone losing their rights forever at the time of the founding, as this practice just started about 100 years ago. Bruen can be used to overturn that as well. You never lose your freedom of speech, there are consequences for exercising the right sometimes, but you never lose it. With rights come responsibilities. I highly doubt the founders would be good with what you said but that is a difference of opinion.
Nope. The video with it's Court case just shown you otherwise.
Judges get things like that wrong way too often.
And by what right does the government even require the license ?
Deliberately.
You make the same mistake over and over again.
I was referring to the store owner's ability to demand People disarm . My thinking was that My inalienable rights under the constitution super cede his rights to serve customers.
You may be asked to disarm or leave his property. You have no right to be on private property that is not yours.
